30 percent more power and 15 percent more running time

· Cordless drill/drivers for all indoor and outdoor screwdriving and drilling work

· New "PowerPack" lithium-ion batteries for even more power and endurance

· 1-hour charger as standard accessory

· 25+1 torque settings for optimum screwdriving and drilling

The new Cordless Drill/Drivers PSR 14.4 LI-2 and PSR 18 LI-2 offer 30 percent more power and their changeable lithium-ion batteries have 1.5 ampere hours, which is 15 percent more running time than the predecessor models of the same name. This is made possible by the new "PowerPack" lithium-ion battery from Bosch. The PSR 18 LI-2, for example, drives approximately 300 screws with a diameter of eight millimeters into softwood with one battery charge. The maximum drilling diameters are 30 and 35 millimeters respectively in wood and ten millimeters in steel.

Due to their lithium-ion batteries, the new PSR 14.4 LI-2 and the new PSR 18 LI-2 from Bosch are also more compact and lightweight than comparable cordless drill/drivers. These all-purpose power tools are ideal for all drilling and screwdriving applications, from assembling furniture through to fitting wooden floor boards on patios.

The PSR 14.4 LI-2 and the PSR 18 LI-2 are always ready for use because the lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from self-discharge. Moreover, the battery does not have any memory effect, so it can be recharged at any time without the user having to accept a deterioration in battery performance. LED displays constantly inform the user about the charging state of the battery. Each of the drill/drivers comes complete with the 1-hour charger, which charges their batteries particularly quickly. Another advantage is that the battery can be placed on the charging station both with and without the drill/driver.

The two-speed planetary gearbox together with the Power motor ensures powerful screwdriving at low speeds and convenient drilling at high speed. With 25 torque settings for screwdriving and one drill setting, the new drill/drivers can be perfectly adjusted to suit the job at hand. The handy grip with softgrip covering and the easy-to-operate forward/reverse switch are an indication of the high degree of ergonomics offered by the drill/ drivers. Two LEDs show the user whether forward or reverse operation is set. The additional "Power-Light" LED provides bright light when working in dark places. The toolholder is also convenient. Drill bits or screwdriver bits are rapidly clamped in the Autolock keyless chuck without the need for any additional tools.
