Milwaukee (led by CEO Park Yong-beom), a premium power tool brand, has launched the '18V Compact Brushless Impact Driver II,' a product that delivers both a compact size and outstanding value for money.
The 'M18 BLIDR' is bundled with the '18V Compact Brushless Impact Driver II (M18 BLPDRC)' under the name 'CBL II.' Specialized for built-in interior work, general woodworking, structural fastening, and system furniture assembly, the 'M18 BLIDR' boasts an overall length shortened by more than 13 mm compared to its predecessor. With an overall length of 112 mm and a width of just 53 mm, it delivers the utmost in compactness. As a result, it can handle not only general workspaces but also cramped, hard-to-reach areas that were previously difficult to enter.
In particular, despite being an 18V product, it weighs about the same as competitors' 10.4V products, significantly reducing wrist pain and fatigue for the operator. On a bare-tool basis, the '18V Compact Brushless Impact Driver II' is an ultra-lightweight product weighing less than 1 kg. Despite its remarkably compact size, the 'M18 BLIDR' boasts superior specs compared to its class. It delivers up to 3,600 RPM and 4,900 IPM in performance, and with 192 Nm of torque, it can carry out tasks quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, the 'Compact Brushless Impact Driver II' offers excellent durability as another advantage. Built with a metal gear case and a metal chuck, it has a low risk of damage on the job site, and it comes equipped with an LED work light and a belt clip to further enhance operator convenience.
Its refined control features are also noteworthy. It is equipped with a 3-stage speed control function that was not available in the previous model, and an improved variable-speed trigger enables even more precise work. By adjusting the speed to suit the situation and need, it significantly reduces concerns about damage to the workpiece and screws, boosting operator satisfaction. 1644-4009
