Key Features and Benefits
1. Powerful Brushless Motor
The Hercules 20V Cordless Impact Driver is powered by a high-performance brushless motor, delivering more torque and longer motor life. Unlike brushed motors, this system produces less heat, friction, and noise, giving you a tool that lasts longer and performs more efficiently under heavy load.
2. 3-Speed Digital Control
Speed control is critical for precision work. This 3-speed impact driver allows you to adjust the RPM and IPM based on the task at hand:
-
Low speed (0–1000 RPM): Ideal for precision work and delicate materials
-
Medium speed (0–2000 RPM): Suitable for general-purpose fastening
-
High speed (0–2800 RPM): Perfect for high-torque applications like driving large screws or lag bolts
This feature puts the control back in your hands, ensuring that no material is over-torqued or damaged.
3. Extreme Torque – Up to 2,000 in-lbs
With 2,000 in-lbs of torque, this tool outperforms many competitors in its class. It tackles heavy-duty fastening jobs with ease — ideal for deck building, framing, and metal construction.
Whether you’re working on hardwood, steel, or masonry, the Hercules 20V impact driver drills through with minimal effort.
4. Compact & Ergonomic Design
The slim, lightweight body makes the Hercules 20V perfect for extended use and tight spaces. At just over 3.4 lbs with battery, it’s designed for comfort and balance, minimizing user fatigue and maximizing control during overhead work or tight corner access.
The soft-grip rubber over-mold adds an extra layer of comfort and reduces vibration.
5. 1/4″ Hex Quick-Release Chuck
A quick-change chuck is essential for professionals. The 1/4″ hex chuck allows you to change bits on the fly, speeding up your workflow and reducing downtime on the job site.
It securely locks bits in place, preventing wobble and slippage, even in high-torque applications.
6. High-Capacity 20V Lithium-Ion Battery (Sold Separately)
Pair this driver with a Hercules 20V Lithium-Ion battery (2.5Ah or 5.0Ah) for long-lasting run time and faster charge cycles. These batteries are engineered for fade-free power, meaning your tool maintains full performance until the last drop of juice.
Plus, overload protection and temperature regulation ensure battery longevity.
7. LED Work Light
Work doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. The built-in LED light illuminates dark corners and workspaces, allowing you to maintain accuracy and safety even in low-light conditions.
