As part of the design, the tool utilizes every bit of battery power when you need, all while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance. The technology in creating a brushless motor system allows for perfect symmetry between battery power and usage ensuring you get all the power you need, when you need it with extended run time and higher power output. Additional features include a lock-off switch, LED job light, retractable joist hook and tool-less shoe adjustment. The lightweight 3.7kg design of the makes transportation around the worksite easy without compromising on power, whilst the ergonomic rubberized soft grip handle provides maximum comfort reducing user fatigue and providing greater tool control.
