Tools Trades Toys (TTT), the independent news site focused on the building and construction trades, recently conducted thorough video tests of Panasonic’s new water resistant drill and impact drivers.
These dual-voltage (14.4V & 18v) brushless drill and impact drivers feature water and dust-resistant technology, matt black livery and third generation nickel oxide-based lithium ion batteries. We provided TTT with one of each tool and a 3.0 and 5.0 amp hour 18V battery for testing and they ran the tools on site for a month before putting them through a series of TTT Extreme Tests, measuring performance, runtime and the IP56 dust and water resistance.
