Panasonic EY74A1X - 14.4v/18v Tough IP Li-ion 4.2Ah Cordless 1/2" Drill/Driver with Dual Voltage Technology (Bare Tool Only)

Construction and maintenance professionals often switch between driving and drilling tasks throughout the day. The New Panasonic Dual Voltage Technology 4.2Ah EY74A1X (EY74A1X tool only) 1/2" drill and driver kit is built to take on both jobs with versatility and power that general construction, plumbing, finish carpentry and electrical installation workers need to do the job efficiently and professionally. This versatile tool features Panasonic's new Dual Voltage Technology which allows the user to use the cordless drill and driver as an 18V or 14.4V tool.

Its compact size - only 8" long x 9-13/32" tall x 2-5/16" wide - gets it into tight spaces. The tool can produce 372 in.-lbs. of power so it can take on tough tasks such as drilling up to 1-3/8" holes in wood or 1/2"-diameter holes in metal. In driving mode, the tool can drive M5 machine screws, 1/4"-diameter wood and self-tapping screws easily and repetitively. The tool's beefy four-brush motor puts out power and takes on difficult tasks with much less chance of burning the motor out on jobs users sometimes expect the tool to do.

The variable speed, reversible tool has a two-speed transmission that efficiently converts the motor's power into drilling/driving power. Users will find the 80-600 rpm low speed helpful in deep wood-drilling and -driving jobs, while the 220-1,750 rpm high speed works best in most metal drilling jobs. An electric brake stops chuck spin instantly when the trigger is released. A built-in LED light makes work in dark areas easier and a belt hook keeps the tool close at hand when it's not in use.

The 18-stage clutch lets the user adjust driving force to the job. It adjusts from approximately 4.3 to 39.0 in. lbs. in 2 in. lbs. increments, so driving force matches driving needs without overdriving or stripping fasteners.

At just 4.30 lbs. including battery, the tool's light weight and ergonomic design helps keep the user's wrist in the neutral position. The light weight and tool design work together to cause less fatigue and improve tool control.

Tough tools for tough conditions! Like many Panasonic tools, the EY74A1LS2G/EY74A1X (tool only) are Tough IP rated. That means they passed demanding laboratory tests of working in extremely dusty work environments and the effects of water getting sprayed on the tool by powerful jets. In the field, it assures professional tradesmen have a tool that can stand up to the rigors of hard jobsite use.
