Panasonic EY7950LR2S 18V Li-ion Hammer Drill Kit Preview

by Clint DeBoer

We got an advanced look at the new Panasonic IEC-rated EY7950LR2S 18V cordless hammer drill at this year’s IBS Show in Vegas and were impressed by the company’s tough talk. Today, Panasonic announced the introduction of four of its new 18V Li-Ion cordless power tools. The new tools will be part of the company’s Tough IP line of professional-grade products. All feature IEC (International Electro Technical Commission) rated dust and water resistant technology and will be available this month. The four introduced models (which seem to be debuting overseas before they hit the US market) include a 1/2″ drill and driver kit, an impact wrench kit, an impact driver kit and a hammer drill/driver kit. All of the new 18V cordless models can be charged for use in 50 minutes with a full charge at 65 minutes, and feature Panasonic’s high capacity 3.3Ah Li-ion battery, LED work light, belt hook, and molded case.

Bosch RHH180 Cordless Rotary Hammer Drill Review

by Clint DeBoer

Using an underpowered tool can ruin your day. If you’ve ever tried to drill into concrete with a standard drill, you’ll have experienced this first-hand. Similarly, a traditional hammer drill, while effective for basic concrete drilling, is not set up for larger jobs that require bigger bits, deeper holes and repetitive drilling. For that you will want a serious tool, and Bosch’s RHH180 18V Cordless Rotary Hammer Drill targets that need precisely. It also includes convenience features like an integrated depth gauge and handle that will allow you to drill to a specific depth quickly and not waste any energy, bit-life or time. It’s also a simple tool to use, with few options and little room for confusion – you just pick it up and go… or rather, IT goes, as you’ll see in the review.

DeWalt DCD970KL 18-Volt XRP Hammerdrill Review

by Thomas Gaige

More muscle and extra features are what help define the new DEWALT flagship DCD970 18-Volt 1/2-Inch XRP Lithium-Ion Hammerdrill. This drill comes with the long lasting, extra long run time XRP Nano Phosphate Lithium-Ion batteries that help facilitate the 450 unit watts of power that is on tap! A few of the things that we like is that there is lot of metal on this new drill and the new three speed transmission. The drill/screw/hammer functions have been moved to their own selector ring separate from the clutch ring, which facilitates a quicker and easier selection depending on your application.
