View larger. | 12-Volt Litheon Batteries for Long-Lasting Power The PS30-2A gets its power from Litheon batteries, the most advanced lithium-ion batteries available today. These batteries allow more battery charges and provide longer runtime with no memory effect--meaning the batteries don't need to be empty before charging. The batteries can also be taken out of the charger before charging is complete. Other benefits include: significantly less self discharge; electronic cell protection that guards against overheating, overload, and deep discharge; and no loss of power from the first to last screw or hole. Best of all, these batteries will fully charge in 30 minutes and will be at 85% capacity in just 15 minutes. World's Most Powerful Compact Drill/Driver for Most Common Applications The PS30-2A is the world's most powerful professional compact drill/driver, with the highest torque-to-weight ratio in its category. It features an innovative design that can readily handle 90% of common applications, and its 3/8-inch single-sleeve chuck enables secure use of round shaft bits. Lightweight and Compact for Flexibility and Comfort At just 2.4 pounds--50% smaller than a competing NiCad drill--this compact tool is the only of its kind that fits into your tool pouch, making it ideal for performing over-the-head continuous work and accessing tight corners. Its streamlined shape and size minimize wrist and hand fatigue, allowing you to work longer and more comfortably. Fast, Powerful Operation for Heavy-Duty Jobs Offering a gear speed of 400/1,100 RPM and providing 220 in./lbs. of torque--twice as much as the competition--this drill/driver easily drills holes up to 1/2-inch in diameter without stalling. It also remains cool to the touch, even after heavy-duty jobs. Two Speeds for Improved Precision and Versatility The PS30-2A provides two speeds for versatility and drilling and driving that's two times faster than the competition's. 20+1 clutch settings enable precision driving and prevent over-torque in soft base materials, giving you the flexibility you need to complete a range of jobs. In addition, the trigger is responsive, so you maintain optimum control over the drill speed and avoid stripping screws or splintering wood. Robust, Durable Design with Convenient Bit Holder and LED Able to maintain functionality after being dropped, the PS30-2A stands up to rough-and-tough conditions. It also offers the convenience of a universal bit holder so everything you need to complete a project remains close at hand, as well as an LED to increase visibility in low-light or enclosed areas. ProVantage Guarantee The PS30-2A comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.

Bought this tool over half a year ago. It's absolutely great. It is a most balanced unit in your hand with several great features such as the LED to illuminate the work area. Also impressed by the absolute amazing battery life. Great find and glad I spent a few bucks more. Go for it.

Comment:
I ordered this drill to replace some very old drills with battery technology that suffered from the 'memory problem'. This drill is a lot smaller and lighter than my old ones, but it packs a lot of punch. I just finished a garage project hanging Gladiator Gearwall, and had to drive over 1,000 2" deck screws. This little guy was well up to the task. It drove about 300 screws on a single charge (no pre-drilling), and by the time the battery was dead, the 2nd battery was fully charged and ready for action. I never had to wait on batteries. Also, with the Litheon technology, the battery discharge curve is very steep, i.e the drill will drive very well until it is ready to die - you won't even know until about the last couple of screws that it is ready to give up. That's the way a drill should operate - effective until end-of-charge.
I also like the size - the head can get into smaller areas. The product comes with a zippered soft nylon case. I would have preferred a molded plastic case - that's probably my only gripe about this purchase.
Comment:
I'm a weekend project warrior and tend to buy tools at the cheaper end of the spectrum. I was a little hestitant on buying a drill at $100+ but this is definitely worth the investment. I also own a bigger, heavier drill for bigger things but I'm sure this would take care of that stuff too. I guess if I had to be really picky my only complaint would be that this drill/driver, along with the other compact drills from this line do not stand up when you put them down. I know it's minor but I didn't realize how nice that would have been.
Comment:
I bought this drill driver for my husbands Christmas gift, and it was well worth the money. He loves everything about it. Especially the ease of switching drill and driver bits. The only thing he would change is that it does need a hard molded case, instead of the soft sided one, as others have mentioned.

Lots of power and battery in a compact size

Comment:
This is the perfect driver for normal household use. It is a compact size so it is 1/2 the weight of a typical driver-drill. It is especially handy for the over-the-head jobs as it won't wear out your arms.
