Panasonic EY7950LS2S - Tough IP 18V 4.2Ah Cordless 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver Kit

Construction professionals that drill holes and drive fasteners into wood, metal or concrete need a cordless hammer drill and driver with the power to tackle a variety of hole sizes plus the compact size to get into tight work spaces. The 18V EY7950LS2S hammer drill kit excels at the variety of jobs electricians, general construction contractors, system installers, heating, water and sanitation technicians do that involve masonry, metal or wood drilling or fastening. At only 5 lbs. with the battery, the tool is easy to use in overhead or far-reaching applications. At only 9-1/4" long x 9-3/4" tall x 2-1/2" wide, the compact tool delivers 505in.-lbs. of torque, capable of drilling up to ½" diameter holes in metal or masonry or up to 1-7/16" diameter holes in wood. The two-speed transmission produces 50-430 rpm/900-7,740 bpm in low speed and 160-1,650 rpm/2,800-29,700 bpm in high speed. The variable speed and reversible tool has the power to efficiently drive up to 5/16" diameter wood and up to ¼" diameter self-drilling screws.The ½" metal heavy-duty keyless chuck allows easy bit changes, yet holds the bit firmly during drilling, hammer drilling and fastening. An electric brake stops the bit immediately when the trigger is released and an LED light illuminates the work area for accurate drilling or fastening. Workers can select one of 18 clutch settings, which steps up 3.0 in. lbs. from 8.8 to 61 in. lbs., to match torque to fastener driving needs.

The tool's brushless motor, durable switch and sealed control circuits in the tool body and battery pack deliver top power, speed, runtime and long tool life. Because electronics replace brushes in the tool, the tool creates less heat and uses power much more efficiently than conventional motors found in many cordless tools. That means longer runtimes between charges, cooler operation and longer tool and battery life. Its design also allows it to operate under substantial loads, making it less likely to burn out when used for heavy-duty jobs.

Sometimes professional users are their own tool's worst enemy, attempting to push them past their design limits. This can lead to irreversible battery or tool damage. That's why Panasonic 4.2Ah LS battery pack cells are independently monitored for even discharge while preventing over-charging and over-discharging. An over-discharge sensor prevents the user from running the tool after it reaches the point where too-low voltage output could damage the battery and the tool. Plus, an internal temperature sensor flashes a warning light if internal temperatures rise, and then cuts off tool power if battery temperature reaches critical levels. Water getting into the battery doesn't have to mean it's a goner. Panasonic engineers have added vents built in the battery case so water can easily drain out of the battery pack. The battery, which is easy to remove using a simple slide-down release button, can charge to 80 percent capacity in 50 minutes and fully charge in 65 minutes when charged with the EY0L81B charger. This charger comes with the kit that includes the tool, two 4.2Ah LS Li-ion battery packs and a carrying case.

The EY7950LS2S 4.2Ah 18-volt hammer drill and driver kit has an IP56 rating that proves the tool's toughness claims. This rating means the tool has withstood 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.
