NARROW FOOTPRINT
This drill is 8.5 in (21.6 cm) narrower in width than the next sized drill in the lineup and can get through a 36-in (91.4-cm) gate or fit on a narrow trailer with other jobsite essentials.
LOW SOUND LEVELS
Low noise emission levels at the operator’s ear of 85 dBa and a guaranteed sound power of 104 dBa makes this drill perfect for installing small utilities in an urban environment with minimal disruption.
MORE POWER
Equipped with a 48-hp (35.8-kW) Kohler engine, this drill offers 1200 ft-lb (1627 Nm) of spindle torque and 7850 lb (34.9 kN) of thrust/pullback.
