Features

14.4V/18V Cordless Hammer Drill & Driver

The Panasonic EY79A2X57 14.4V/18V Dual Voltage Cordless Drill & Driver is lightweight and compact, yet powerful. With precision variable speed control/reversible, an 18-stage clutch, optimum rotation speed control plus high power brushless motor. The EY79A2X57 is ready for work with a Panasonic 14.4V or 18V battery. Featuring a handy LED light for user-friendly operation in dark areas, a heavy-duty keyless chuck, and an electric brake for added safety.

Extreme Durability

New Brushless Motor 

Without brushes and commutator which can reduce the lifetime of the tool, the motor lasts approximately twice compared with brushed motor*. 

* Compared with Panasonic conventional brushed motor.

New Ultra Hard Chuck Jaw Tips 

We increased durability of every part right down to the new metal chuck which features tungsten carbide jaw tips. These extra hardened inserts are brazed into each jaw to give extra ‘bite strength’ and substantially reduce wear.

New Hybrid Switch 

To eliminate heavy friction to internal parts of the switch during use of electric brake, we developed a new semi-electronic switch. This gives smoother operation and double* the life expectancy of the part. 

* Compared with Panasonic conventional switches.

Powerful to the Finish

The new, large diameter brushless motors generate high power and efficiency (32Nm of torque - 18V battery). Plus the newly designed control circuit increases stable current flow to motor by more than 70%*. This enables high power output to be evenly maintained until the task is completed even during high-load operation.

* Compared with previous brushless motor.

Increased Efficiency and Flexibility

The new ‘Speed Control Function’ allows the user to select from three different low rotation speed settings, based on allowable maximum speeds for metal hole saws. It greatly reduces ‘run out’ when using metal hole saws and prevents surface scorching on stainless steel and other materials.

The advanced ‘Smooth Start’ electronics allow easy, precise speed control, enabling the ultimate control when starting drilling or working with small screws in precise applications.
