T-mode has an automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work Battery protection system provides over-discharge, temperature and current protection for enhanced performance, battery cycle life and overall battery life Having a brushless motor is extremely important for heavy duty use as it better at delivering all the power and lasts longer than non-brushless motors. Brushless motors are recommended for tradesmen who will use impact drivers quite often on a daily basis. It features a maintenance free brushless motor for increased life, electronic brake, a conveniently located push button for forward and reverse and an LED job light with preglow for use in low visibility applications.
