If you’re a fan of 909 tools, Christmas is coming early (maybe). 909 has announced the pre-order of their new 909 20V Touch Pro Brushless 1/2″ Drill and 1/4″ Impact Drivers. There’s some good news and bad news that goes along with the announcement. Let’s start with the positive. The new 909 20V Touch Pro models have brushless motors and are being packaged with 4.0 amp hour batteries. This means that they should run pretty much all day on most applications. The charger features 1 hour charge cycle time, so even if you’ve got to charge it over lunch, you’ll be ready for the afternoon.
The not-so-great news is that we really don’t know a whole lot about the specs. I looked for manuals and other typical sources for speed and torque, but they apparently aren’t being published yet.
In spite of the lack of information, fans of the original 12V Touch Pro Drill/Diver and Impact Drivers can pre-order the 909 20V Touch Pro models. At the moment, they are only available for pre-order on Ebay and they are running ~$350 with $26.50 shipping from our friends in Australia. That price can change daily since the listings are in AU (Australian currency) and rates change frequently. Whether you already own the 12V’s or just want to see what they were all about before investing that much, check out our review.
Unless you’re already salivating at the idea of owning the new 909 20V Touch Pro Drill/Driver, Impact Driver, or both, it will likely be worth it to wait for the US launch (which has not been announced). Since Home Depot, Amazon, and other US retailers carry the 12V line, it’s a relatively safe bet to say that they will be here eventually. It just might not be in time for Christmas.
