Universal Cordless Magnetic Base Drill for Steel and Other Metal Construction

Fein Power Tools Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA) introduces the Slugger by Fein, their newest, smallest and most universal cordless compact magnetic base drill with a drilling capacity of up to 1-3/8 in diameter and 2 in drilling depth. Features of the Slugger by Fein (AJMU137PMQW) include:

• A German brushless PowerDrive motor with tacho electronics that allow for faster projects. It delivers a high torque and has a high overload capacity.
• A new HighPower storage battery featuring cells with high current capability for longer run time. Developed specifically for power tools with very high performance levels, this 18V storage battery with 5.2 Ah delivers a current rating 75 percent higher than Fein Li-ion batteries for continually good work progress with high speed stability. It can also produce 40 percent more holes with one battery charge and is the lightest storage battery in its class.
• A 28.2 lb compact weighted design that allows for more mobility in a magnetic base drill. This is the lightest cordless magnetic base drill on the market for hole diameters of up to 1-3/8 in. Its compact design is particularly suited to drilling holes in previously fitted steel and metal constructions.

This highly versatile magnetic base cordless drill can twist drill holes of 5/8 in, has a tapping capacity of up to 35/64 in, and also excels at countersinking and reaming. Due to forward/reverse running and the six electronic speed settings, the Slugger by Fein’s speed can be adapted to any application. With speeds starting at 130 rpm, threads can also be produced economically without an additional tapping tool. Fitted with a double drill motor guide, this cordless magnetic base drill covers a huge stroke range of 10-15/64 in. An MT2 interface makes the drill compatible with typical tools, such as twist drills, countersinks and annular cutters. SafetyCell technology protects the battery and tool from overload, overheating and total discharge.

The narrow and light weight permanent magnet has a holding force of 2,000 lb and can be used in vertical and overhead working conditions so the user can carefully position the tool properly. This magnet holds the tool when the voltage source is lost (if the storage battery is flat). A convenient holding force display shows whether the conditions for safe mag base drilling are in place. On level and clean surfaces, the Slugger by Fein AJMU137PMQW can be used on minimum thickness steel plate of 5/16 in or greater. A tilt sensor integrated in the drill detects when the tool is slipping and stops the drill spindle immediately. Another special feature is the design of the motor cable protection hose: the motor cable is positioned centrally and swivel-mounted, preventing it from snagging or getting caught.
