FAQs
What is the maximum drilling capacity in wood and masonry?
The product description does not specify exact maximum capacities for wood and masonry. However, it is designed for general-purpose drilling in these materials.
How long does the 2.0Ah battery typically last?
Battery life varies significantly based on the application (drilling, screwdriving, impact drilling) and the material being worked on. For light to moderate use, the 2.0Ah battery should provide a reasonable runtime.

The tool features selector rings for mode and torque. Refer to the tool's manual for the exact location and operation of these selectors, as specific models may vary slightly.
