- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (8/15/2007)
- Bosch. Making powerful cordless tools smaller than ever is the focus of the company's 10.8-volt lithium-ion platform. This year, the Impactor adds the punch of impact driving to this size category, packing 800 inch-pounds of torque into a tool that measures only 6 1/2 inches long and 6 3/4 inches tall with its battery and weighs just 2.2 pounds. It provides 45 percent more torque and 60 percent less weight than the company's 18-volt drill/driver, the firm says. Cost: $199. 877-267-2499.

- Tool Test: Cordless Drill/Drivers
- TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (4/5/2007)
- Twenty years ago, I worked with a Makita 9.6-volt pistol-grip drill/driver, a standout among cordless tools of the time. Since those early models, things have come a long way: more powerful motors; keyless, one-handed chucks; variable-speed triggers; automatic brakes; and batteries that just keep improving. Another advancement has been the addition of a hammerdrill function to many standard drill/drivers. Because it doesn't add much weight, size, or cost, many are opting for the purchase of a convenient, all-in-one cordless hammerdrill/driver, even if masonry drilling is not going to be the tool's primary function. It's just nice to have the versatility.
