DEWALT announces the launch of its 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion 1/4” Screwdriver Kit (DCF610S2) as part of the new 12 Volt MAX* cordless platform. The screwdriver is compact yet powerful enough to handle a variety of professional jobs. It is ideal for remodelers, electricians, cabinet installers, woodworkers and many other professionals whose jobs demand fastening and drilling applications.
“With its ability to drive 207 2-1/2” cabinet screws on a single battery charge, this tool provides users with the power and run-time needed to meet their jobsite demands,” said John Castelino, Sr. Product Manager, DEWALT. “During the product development process, our team spent a significant amount of time working side by side with users in the field to develop the ideal product that addressed their concerns. The result is a powerful, ultra compact screwdriver that is durable and packed with innovative features that increase productivity.”
Weighing only 2.2 pounds, the screwdriver is compact and lightweight, built for less user fatigue and comfort in overhead applications. Additionally, the screwdriver’s small size allows contractors to easily access tight areas for jobsite versatility. Designed using digital scanning and 3D technology, the contoured handle design of the DCF610S2 offers increased comfort compared to products on the market today.
The screwdriver also features a reversible belt clip for portability and a 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion battery that has been placed at the bottom of the handle for balance and ease, allowing contractors to stand the tool up in between uses.
Three LED lights positioned around the hex of the screwdriver eliminate shadows and provide improved visibility in dark work areas. The new 1/4-inch hex chuck allows users to simply push the bit in to lock it in place with one hand. It also accepts a one-inch bit tip to fit into the tightest spaces. The clutch is easy to access and 0-1,050 RPMs deliver the speed range that contractors demand.
The new Screwdriver Kit (DCF610S2) includes two 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion battery packs, a 40 minute charger, bit tip, belt hook and contractor bag in addition to the screwdriver. Available in the fourth quarter at home centers and industrial distributors, the screwdriver kit is expected to retail for approximately $139.00.
In addition to being sold as a screwdriver kit, the product will also be available as part of a combo kit (DCK210S2). The combo kit includes one screwdriver, one impact driver, two 12 Volt MAX* Lithium Ion battery packs, two bit tips, two belt hooks, one 40 minute charger and a contractor bag.
The product will come with a three-year limited warranty, one year free service contract and 90-day money back guarantee. For more information about the warranty or available accessories, visit http://dewalt.com/Home.aspx.
