Panasonic's EY6409GQKW 12-Volt NiMH Cordless Drill/Driver at a Glance: Max torque: 293 inch-pounds Speed at no load: Low 50 to 400 RPM High 180 to 1,300 RPM Clutch torque (approximately): 9 stage 19 Charging Time: 55 minutes Weight with battery: 4.4 lbs.

The low-speed setting of 50 to 400 RPM is ideal for tough jobs requiring high torque, such as drilling with large bits and driving screws in a controlled manner. Likewise, the high-speed setting of 180 to 1,300 RPM is great for general drilling and fastening in metal.

18-Stage Clutch Plus Drill Position for Precision and ControlThe EY6409GQKW is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch plus drill position, which helps ensure accuracy and control and extends the life of the tool by making sure the correct amount of torque is available for a variety of applications. This helps prevent driving screws too far, snapping them off, or damaging materials as you work.

Ergonomic Construction for Ease of Use
Well-balanced, this drill/driver is easy to work with, and it allows you to work long hours more comfortably. The EY6409GQKW measures a compact 8-3/16 inches in length and weighs less than five pounds. Ideal for both right- and left-handed users, this tool's ergonomic design includes a comfortable, contoured rubber grip to reduce fatigue during extended use. And convenient placement of the variable-speed control trigger and forward/reverse switch permits simple, one-handed operation.

A 1/2-inch heavy-duty keyless chuck means that you'll never have to worry about losing your chuck key. It also means that bit changes will be fast and easy, which is important if you switch tasks often or wear protective gloves on the job.

Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery Power
Effective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a safety hazard. That's why this Panasonic drill driver is powered by a high-capacity 3.5-Ah Ni-MH battery pack that can be fully charged in just 55 minutes. This industry-exclusive battery has 75-percent more capacity than the 2.0-Ah Ni-Cd batteries that come with many standard drills.

This means less time waiting and more time working. And even when there isn't time for a full charge, the inverter charger features an Emergency Charge function that charges the pack to 15% of its full capacity in just five minutes.

For further convenience, this kit comes with a convenient second battery pack, so you don't have to worry about buying one separately.
