Now, I like a high speed hand driver/drill....

"Trevor Wilson"

That drill is SMALL and a small 24V DC motor can easily rotate at 50,000 rpm.

Notice that supplied bits include a 1.5 mm size - which operates best at speeds above 10,000 rpm.

However, the figure for torque looks wrong cos 25Nm and 4550 rpm equates to over 12kW.

Magnetic battery ???

Hehe. One or the other perhaps. Most DC motors have a fairly linear torque curve between maximum torque at stall and zero torque at max RPM. The midpoint would be 3KW, 125 amps at 24 volts. Still seems too high by about 4x.

Anyhow, who wants to sling that huge battery pack around? I wonder if it's still NiCD, and banned elsewhere so they're being dumped here.

Clifford Heath.

They say it is a magnetic battery.

"F Murtz"

Likely there is a magnet that holds the battery onto the drill.

Or maybe you think " Steak Sauce" is made from steak ??

Go back to last year, Aldi had a rechargeable electric shaver with a "1200w motor". I would hate to think of the injury potential if something failed, assuming you could lift and control it with both hands ;)

I took a pic of the advertisement outside the store at the time with the mobile.

It appears to have the same buttons as a normal drill to disengage the battery So I still wonder what they meant.There is some research into magnetic batteries but you would not be using one in a drill.

Perhaps, like Ryobi, there is a magnetic tray on the battery to hold bits.

Come on Phil, get real. You don't expect Wilson to have the intelligence to take those issues in, do you?

"Amigo" to take those issues in, do you?
