Both power tools are run on 3.3ah batteries to allow for extended use, while the cobalt lithium ion gadgetry will keep the actual batteries cooler that will help make it last longer.

The 18 volts Impact Driver features a 1/4 inch Hex connection with a mechanism to lock it in place. It has an easy to use variable speed switch. For total versatility and flexibility it features both forward and reverse rotation.

The motor is brushless and there is a incredibly useful LED light for when you are working in those tight spots and need help to see what you are doing. There is a handy indicator that lights up when your battery is low or is overheating. It takes about 65 minutes to charge fully and will be usable within 50minutes of charging.

The EY7950X 18 volts Hammer Drill Driver features a keyless chuck from 1.5 mm to 13 mm, which allows you to switch drill bits both quickly and easily. It has a trigger to control the speed, of various levels. There is also an 18 part clutch to provide high torque and precision drilling as well as the hammer drill action. Like the Impact Driver is features both forward and backwards rotation control.

For safety, it includes an electric motor break and a LED light for when you are in a tight spot and need more light in darker areas. This can be easily switched on and off. As with the Impact Driver it has lights that warn of battery overheating and battery low in charge. The full charge time is 65 minutes and this can be used within 50 minutes.

This is a great investment for anyone who needs a well designed, high performance cordless Hammer Drill.
