Cordless drill-drivers are increasingly replacing classic drilling machines in trade and industry. In response to this demand, FEIN has expanded its cordless power tool product range with new 12-volt cordless drill/drivers specifically designed for these very stringent requirements. As the most powerful in their class FEIN cordless drill-drivers deliver high speeds and optimal torque. The FEIN 12-volt cordless drill-drivers are the ideal choice for a wide range of drilling and screwing tasks in diverse materials. The 12-volt FEIN ASCM 12 combines the perfect interplay of power, speed, precision and ergonomics. Its patent-pending 4-speed gearbox with the brushless FEIN PowerDrive motor delivers up to 2,500 rpm and enables a wide range of applications including utilizing drill bits up to ½ In. (13 mm) in diameter. Every FEIN 12-volt cordless screw gun is equipped with a durable, solid metal drill chuck built by Rohm, the premier German chuck manufacturer, making them highly resistant to damage. A chucking power safeguard grips the drill shaft securely, preventing an unintended release. The 12-volt FEIN ASCM 12 features a removable drill chuck allowing screwdriver bits to fit right into the drive shaft. FEIN 12-volt batteries are equipped with FEIN SafetyCell technology and a high capacity of 2.5 Ah while operating at temperatures as low as 0 °F (-18 °C). A separate communication cable protects the battery and drill-driver from overloading, overheating, and deep discharge. The charge indicator is positioned directly on the battery, making it visible to the user at all times. The 12-volt battery on the compact drill/driver models is located underneath the handle. This results in a significantly slimmer, more ergonomic gripping area. The cordless drill/drivers can stand upright without falling over and stand at the ready for the next use. Other practical advantages of the FEIN 12 volt line in day-to-day work is the belt hook and magnetic bit holder. Work effectively, efficiently and effortlessly with the ACSM 12 while enjoying maximum user-friendliness due to the many innovative features.
