With a powerful motor, you can do most drilling and driving tasks with up to 500 in-lbs of torque. The hammer drill has an 18-position+2 clutch that can be turned to choose the best torque for your job. This lets the bit stop at different torque settings to avoid over-driving screws.
Speeds can be changed. The 2-speed gearbox can be used to drive or drill at either low (0-400 RPM) or high (0-1500 RPM) speeds. The slide switch is on top of the tool to choose the speed range. You can change the speed by putting more or less pressure on the trigger.
3 Modes to Choose fro. Different from a drill driver because it has another setting. The Hammer Drill mode. It’s good for drilling into masonry, stone, or brick with a carbide masonry drill bit when you use it. In the mode selector, you can choose from Hammer Drill mode, Driver mode, and Drill mode.
Take a look at the desig. When the trigger switch is pressed, the LED worklight lights up, giving more light for better visibility. The direction-of-rotation selector is above the trigger switch, and it lets you change the direction of the bit rotation. The keyless chuck lets you tighten or loosen the bit in the chuck jaws by hand.
Package comes with it. It comes with a 20V 1/2-in cordless hammer drill, a driver bit, a 20V 1.5Ah lithium-ion battery, a quick charger, an extra handle, a depth-gauge rod, and a tool bag.
Where do I start with this one.. I don’t know. To save money, I bought this instead of Milwaukee, even though I know Milwaukee is worth the money. With covid going on, I wanted to try something a little less expensive, so I went with the forte. So this is a great tool. When I work as an auto mechanic, I use this all the time. I’m surprised by how well it works for everyone else in my 14-bay shop, as well. I put a 1/2 adapter with a 22mm on it, and it can take the lug nuts of a Chevy 2500 Express van now. On a few, it takes a while, but most come off with ease. Switch to a 1/4 adapter and do more detailed work. It doesn’t matter, it will do the job and so far has held up and made me happy I bought this. Happy with this tool. If you are a mechanic, I would recommend this tool to you.
