EY74A1X, 4.2Ah Li-ion, IP56, 4.30 lbs
Construction and maintenance professionals often switch between driving and drilling tasks throughout the day. The New Panasonic Dual Voltage Technology 4.2Ah EY74A1X (EY74A1X tool only) 0.5" drill and driver kit is built to take on both jobs with versatility and power that general construction, plumbing, finish carpentry and electrical installation workers need to do the job efficiently and professionally. This versatile tool features Panasonic's new Dual Voltage Technology which allows the user to use the cordless drill and driver as an 18V or 14.4V tool.
Like many Panasonic tools, the EY74A1LS2G/EY74A1X (tool only) are Tough IP rated. That means they passed demanding laboratory tests of working in extremely dusty work environments and the effects of water getting sprayed on the tool by powerful jets. In the field, it assures professional tradesmen have a tool that can stand up to the rigors of hard jobsite use.
The IP rating is established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is outlined in IEC 60529. The standard outlines a coding system that indicates the degree of protection an electrical machine's enclosure offers internal components. Based on objective testing, it assigns a rating to the enclosure's ability to keep potentially damaging solid foreign objects (dust and contaminants) and water out of the tool under increasingly difficult conditions. The dust protection test subjects the tool to a very dusty environment and then puts it to work to assure the tool was unaffected by dust exposure. In the grueling test, the tool proved that it achieved a dust protection level of five out of six levels; the sixth level is for dust-tight tools. It's a good indication that the tool's design keeps potentially harmful contaminants out, assuring long life and top performance that professionals demand.
Similarly, the water protection test put the tool up against increasing levels of water exposure. It attained a six out of eight levels rating, withstanding the effects of powerful water jets. Whether it's extremely dust work conditions or work in damp or wet locations, users will appreciate a tool that will keep working when others would likely fail. Consult the safety and operating instructions for more information.
