SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE – It is extremely compact, has an excellent power to weight ratio, and has internal cooling, making it ideal for working at heights and in confined spaces.
CONVENIENT – It has an easy-to-adjust guide system.
MULTIPURPOSE – It is equipped with hand feed wheel mounts on either side, which can be used in a variety of situations.
The motor’s smart magnet circuitry prevents it from starting if there is insufficient magnetic force, and internal motor cable routing prevents the motor from threading or hanging up on the workpiece unintentionally.

Jancy Engineering JHM Short Slugger is a short slugger made by Jancy Engineering. Mag base drilling unit that is extremely compact and can be used on-site. The JHM is a small, but mighty drill that packs a surprising amount of punch for its size (it weighs only 22 pounds). With its all-metal construction and “Smart Magnet” circuitry, this unit is both long-lasting and energy-efficient. It is equipped with a through spindle coolant as well as a multi-position coolant bottle, as well as a patented internal motor cable. Working at a height necessitates the use of a high power to weight ratio. The position of the handwheel can be adjusted in order to work in confined spaces. Wires that are concealed in motor wiring are less likely to snag or become entangled in tight spaces. Gravity-fed cooling and lubrication are employed. Contact and chip protection are provided. Guide adjustment is simple. Feed handles can be found on either side of the machine. The maximum cutter diameter is 1-3/16 inches. The maximum depth of the cutter drilling is 2 inches. The power consumption is 750 watts. The power output is 430 watts. Speed at no load is 680 rpm. Load speed is 430 rpm. Holder for weldon shank cutters with a 3/4-inch shank. Stroke length is 2-1/2 inches. The magnetic holding force is 1800 pounds. The magnet foot measures 7-3/4 inches by 3-3/4 inches in dimension. A 13-foot cable with a plug is included. Measure. The dimensions are 9.65 inches in length by 7.68 inches in width. Height ranges from 11.02 inches to 14.17 inches. It comes with one case, one coolant tank, one safety strap, one chip hook, two centering pins, one hexagon wrench measuring 5 millimeters in diameter, and one safety guard.
Purchased on Amazon, but did not require and did not even open for more than two months (as it was unnecessary). Having finally gotten into the building, I attempted to register the product for warranty coverage, only to discover that the online warranty registration process will not allow registration after 6 weeks. I called Fein and spoke with a representative, but after explaining the problem, I received no satisfaction (he took my phone number and said, “I’ll call you back”). drilling holes in the structural steel of a new metal building, with the majority of the work being done with an aftermarket chuck and a 1/8″ (1/4″ shank) drill bi. The only problem is that the addition of the chuck leaves only about 1/2 inch of clearance, which means that normal twist drills are ineffective; I’m currently using a center drill instead. The drill, on the other hand, is extremely durable. As I had anticipated, I needed to expose the circuitry in order to install a shunt (provided with the drill) that would override the safety circuitry and allow the drill to operate on steel that was less than 3/8″ thick. When I did this, I discovered that the magnetic grip on thin steel is far too weak to allow easy drilling without clamping the drill base to the steel, which is what I did until I could obtain a small 1/2″ steel plate, which was consistent with the reason for the safety circuit in the first place. The use of this plate underneath the drill base (and supporting member) provides sufficient grip strength to generate sufficient downward force to allow for relatively rapid drill penetration to occur.
It takes me longer than six weeks to complete the warranty activation online process, which is a source of my dissatisfaction with the process. The entire process is ambiguous at times, necessitating two rounds of backtracking in my case (I do own another Fein tool, which made things more complicated in the absence of CLEAR instructions), and even stupid at times. When you log in, the system requires that your login id be your email address; however, if you forget your password for the ID and want a new one provided, the system does not simply send it to the email address that was used as the login ID; instead, the system ASKS YOU for the email address that you want the password reset email sent to before delivering it. This appears to be insecure and without purpose. It is also necessary to have the serial number. In the tool’s handle, there are TWO numbers that COULD be SNs, but neither is identified as such; the more likely SN is found just below the tool model name, but it turns out not to be the SN after all. It is, in fact, the one at the very bottom of the plate, the one that is the furthest away from the model name.
