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.
Handles a Range of Applications and Materials for True Versatility
Versatile and flexible, the PS50-2B offers corded performance for cutting, sanding, and a range of other tasks. It's suitable for use with soft wood, hardwood, metal, drywall, and plastic, and it creates less dust than most other sanders. For added convenience, when used with the adaptor, it's compatible with most accessories.
Compact, Well-Balanced Design for Easy Handling
Measuring just 10.9 by 2.32 inches (LxH) and weighing only 2.12 pounds, the PS50-2B easily fits in tight spaces and corners when sanding or cutting. The plastic nose prevents marks on work pieces, and the ergonomic design with small perimeter and front soft-grip provides comfortable handling, even if the tool grows warm.
Variable Speed and Angle Adjustment for Superior Control
The PS50-2B provides a speed range from 5,000 to 20,000 RPM that's controlled by a variable-speed dial for quick and easy speed adjustments while you're sanding.
And, for precise results, the tool holder provides variable-angle adjustment within 240 degrees.
Innovative Features for User-Friendly Operation
The PS50-2B offers a range of helpful features to keep your work going smoothly from start to finish. First, a cutting-depth scale clearly indicates cutting depth, while a flush-cutting mechanism allows you to work flush for precise angle cuts. Second, Bosch's patented play-free drive system provides precision and optimal force transmission. Third, a hole pattern lets you set the blade in 30-degree increments for optimum ergonomics. Finally, optimized tooth geometry with large gullets ensures clean cuts in the hardest of woods.
And because the PS50-2B is cordless, you can take it anywhere. With a fuel gauge that lets you know when it's time to recharge, this tool is ready when you are.
ProVantage Guarantee
The PS50-2B 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.

Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt 3.3Ah NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit Review
|
 The EY6432GQKW is ideal for general construction, plumbing, electrical installation work and finish carpentry. View larger. |
The low-speed setting of 65 to 450 rpm is ideal for tough jobs requiring high torque, such as drilling with large bits and driving screws in a controlled manner, while a high-speed of 200 to 1450 rpm is great for more general drilling and fastening in metal.
18-Speed Clutch for Tackling Tough Jobs
The EY6432GQKW is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch. This clutch system helps ensure accuracy and control while you're working, and it further extends the life of your drill driver by making sure the correct amount of torque is available for a variety of applications. This helps prevent driving screws too far, snapping them off, and damaging materials as you work.
Thoughtful, Ergonomic Construction for Ease of Use
A well-balanced tool like this drill driver is easier to work with, and it allows you to work long hours more comfortably. The EY6432GQKW measures a compact 8-3/16 inches in length and weighs less than five pounds. Ideal for both right- and left-handed users, this tool's ergonomic design includes a comfortable, contoured rubber grip to reduce fatigue during extended use. And convenient placement of the variable speed control trigger and forward/reverse switch permits simple, one-handed operation.
A heavy-duty keyless chuck means that a lost chuck key will never bring your work to a standstill again. And it makes changing bits fast and easy, which is important if you switch tasks often or wear protective gloves on the job.
Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery Power
Effective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a safety hazard. That's why this Panasonic drill driver is powered by a 3.3Ah Ni-MH battery pack that can be fully charged in just 55 minutes. This high-tech battery is industry exclusive, with 75-percent more capacity than the 2.0Ah Ni-Cd batteries that come with many standard drills.
This means less time spent waiting and more time spent working. And even when there isn't time for a full charge, the inverter charger features an "Emergency Charge" function that charges the pack to 15-percent of its full capacity in just five minutes.
This kit comes with a convenient second battery pack, so you don't have to worry about buying one separately.
