Portable Electric Tools: Porter-Cable PCC842L 8V MAX Impact Screwdriver
PORTER-CABLE announces its new cordless 8V MAX* Impact Screwdriver for the tradesman.
With the 8V MAX* Impact Screwdriver, tradesmen no longer need to carry around the bulk of an over-powered drill. For smaller fastening applications, this new impact screwdriver is all they need.
The tool is 6.48 inches long and weighs 1.42 pounds, allowing the tradesman to easily maneuver the tool and complete applications quickly. In addition, the impact mechanism and motor deliver 0-2,200 RPM and 125 inch-pounds of non-reactionary torque.
Other features include a quick-load chuck that allows for one-handed bit loading and release, an LED light that illuminates the work area, and a ¼ inch hex chuck that accepts standard bits.
The impact screwdriver also incorporates magnetic bit tip holders which are located on the top of the screwdriver for easy access.
Finally, an indicator light displays the charge of the 8V MAX* lithium-ion battery. Maximizing a lithium ion battery platform that can maintain a charge for up to 18 months, the 8V MAX* Impact Screwdriver’s on-board battery plugs directly into a wall jack for optimal convenience and portability.
Wil Granger, Group Product Manager for Porter-Cable says, “Normally when a Tradesman wants to complete smaller fastening applications, such as drywall screws or assembly work, they reach for their 12V or 18V unit. The performance with those tools can be far greater than anything they need and they are forced to carry around a larger tool than necessary. The 8V MAX* Impact Screwdriver fixes all of that.”
The 8V MAX* Impact Screwdriver is a new solution that provides compact size, optimal performance and feature sets which will change the way tradesmen look at fastening applications. With a contoured handle and over-mold grip, it provides the performance, ergonomic design, and features needed to complete an extensive range of applications on the job site.
The 8V MAX* Impact Screwdriver will be available in April.
