Portable Electric Tools: PORTER-CABLE 20 Volt MAX Lithium Ion Compact Drill/Driver and Impact Driver
PORTER-CABLE announces the launch of its 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Compact Drill/Driver (PCCK600LB) and 20 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion Impact Driver (PCCK640LB), which are both part of the new 20 Volt MAX* system.
The PCCK600LB ½ 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Drill/Driver is the cornerstone of this new system. The powerful motor, high-speed transmission and 1.5 amp-hour battery deliver up to 330 Unit Watts Out (UWO) to maximize drilling and fastening speeds. The two-speed gear transmission delivers 0 to 400 RPM in low speed for high-torque applications and 0 to 1,600 RPM for low-torque applications.
Since compact size is an important feature for drill/driver users, the PCCK600LB was designed to be lightweight, weighs only 3.7 pounds and is less than 8 inches in length. The tool’s ergonomic, slim handle also provides comfort for ease of use in applications on the jobsite.
PORTER-CABLE designed the PCCK600LB drill/driver with innovative features to make the tool easy to adjust for use during all applications. For convenience, the 20 Volt MAX* drill/driver features a 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck that provides great bit retention.
The new battery gauge enables the user to determine the level of remaining charge while on the jobsite.
The PCCK600LB also features additional accessory storage with two magnetic bit tip holders on the top of the tool. Other standard features include an LED work light, rubber bumpers on the sides of the tool, and a belt clip that can be fastened to fit either right- or left-handed users.
The PCCK640LB 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Impact Driver delivers performance in a compact package. The motor and transmission generate 1,450 inch-pounds of maximum torque, while the variable speed trigger delivers 0-2,900 rotations per minute (RPM) and 0-3,100 beats per minute (BPM) to provide excellent performance and control during large and small fastening applications.
In an effort to provide comfort to users while handling tough materials and working long hours, a cold-forged internal impact block is provided. A 1/4-inch hex quick-change chuck and a two-bit storage feature provide users with easy access to quickly and effortlessly change bits. The unit features a belt hook for professionals to store the tool at arm’s reach, as well as an ergonomic handle for comfort and non-slip grip.
Similar to the drill/driver, the impact driver also includes an LED work light to illuminate dark work areas, rubber bumpers on the sides of the tool and a battery fuel gauge.
