| Bosch's new PS30 12V Max Litheon Drill/Driver  The latest foray into ultra-compact tool design from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories has yielded what may well become the ideal do-it-all tool for users looking for maximum versatility in a small package. Bosch's new PS30 12V Max Litheon Drill/Driver takes the company's successful ultra-compact platform one step further with best-in-class speed and torque and a host of new features. The most immediately noticeable feature is the PS30's 3/8" three-jawed chuck. The new single sleeve chuck is designed to accommodate almost any need a typical user might encounter in a day's work - simple drilling, drilling with spade bits, cutting with hole saws, socket fastening, screwdriving and more. To keep users moving in all of those applications, the PS30 delivers a robust 220 inch-pounds of torque, more than twice the torque of any other ultra-compact drill/driver on the market. And, to keep all of that torque under control, Bosch utilizes a 20+1 clutch. Bosch's PS30 also offers users the flexibility to choose between speed and precision based on their specific needs. The tool's two-speed drivetrain delivers between 400-1,100 rpm. At full speed, the tool delivers 2.2 times the speed of any other drill/driver in its class. With a weight of barely 2.4 pounds, an ergonomic soft grip and a profile that is 50 percent slimmer than a standard 12V drill/driver, the PS30 is both maneuverable and comfortable. The tool is small enough to reach into tight areas and corners with ease and light enough for all-day use and sustained overhead work. In cramped quarters, a robust built-in LED light offers outstanding visibility. As with Bosch's previous ultra-compact tools, users can count on quick 30-minute charge times and unparalleled battery life from the proven 12V Max Litheon battery platform. Bosch's 12V Max Litheon batteries are compatible with all other Bosch Ultra-Compact tools (PS10, PS20, PS40 and FL11). The PS30 Two-Speed Ultra-Compact Drill/Driver comes with two 12V Max Litheon batteries, a 30-minute quick charger and a sturdy canvas carrying bag. The PS30 is covered by Bosch's standard cordless power tool warranty and is eligible to be registered in the Bosch ProVantage Protection Plan. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
