09/20/2007 - MILWAUKEE, WI - Milwaukee Introduces New 12-volt Sub-Compact Driver Milwaukee Electric Tool introduces a powerful, new professional-grade 12-volt Sub-Compact Driver that is ideal for a variety of applications including electrical work, installation, finish carpentry and other drill/driving tasks.

Delivering 100-in/lbs. of torque in a compact, lightweight package weighing only two pounds, the 2401-22 is powerful enough to drive 130 3" screws in a single battery charge and provides the speed (0-500 RPM) to finish jobs faster. Leveraging Milwaukee's legendary fade-free lithium-ion technology, the 12-volt Sub-Compact Driver utilizes a 1.4 Ah battery to run longer without sacrificing the compact and ergonomic balance end users prefer, and it fits easily in a pocket or tool belt.
