Common Use Cases
This kit is ideal for users who want more runtime than the standard 1.5Ah or 2.0Ah batteries provide but do not want the heavy weight of a 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah battery. It is perfect for overhead drilling, cabinet installation, and finish carpentry where tool balance and weight are critical.
*Note: “20V MAX” refers to the maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload), which is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18 volts.
