Specifications

Max speed
What this means

Max speed is the top no-load speed, in RPM for rotating tools. No-load means the tool is running free, so speed drops once it is working. On drills, many makers list a figure per gear: high for small bits, low for control with large bits or long screws.

9,000 rpm
Switch
What this means

This describes how the tool is switched on. Paddle and trigger switches stop the tool when released; a lock-on switch keeps it running for long cuts or grinding. No-lock means it cannot be locked on. Some jobsites require no-lock or paddle switches on grinders, so check site rules.

Paddle
Motor
What this means

Brushless motors use electronic control instead of carbon brushes, which generally means less wear, less heat and more runtime per charge. Brushed motors are simpler and often cheaper, and are fine for lighter or occasional use, though their brushes can wear out over time.

Brushless
Batteries in box
What this means

This lists how many batteries come in the box, if any. Tool-only (bare) listings include no battery or charger, which suits buyers already on that battery platform. Two batteries let you charge one while working with the other.

0
Battery capacity (each)
What this means

Amp-hours (Ah) is the battery's charge capacity. At the same voltage, a higher Ah pack runs longer between charges but is usually larger and heavier. Smaller packs keep the tool lighter for overhead and light work; larger packs suit saws, grinders and other high-draw tools.

None includedfrom the box list
Charger in box
What this means

This states whether a charger is included and which type. Chargers vary in output, so the same battery can take noticeably different times to charge on different chargers. Tool-only listings usually include no charger.

No
