none are US either) mostly euro. I LOVE this thing! fast recharge,
slow power usage, huge torque. German looking, HEAVY DUTY quality
with a 2 yr warranty. And the next cordless I buy will be the Hilti
Lion Screwdriver (SID144-A CPC) which is not a drill but is an impact
screwdriver.. 1,265 inlbs of torque! uses snap chuck drill bits
only. 3 leds to light your project at night in case you are trying to
set some lags in the dark to hold your suspension lines until
daylight, etc. WARNING, with that much torque, make sure you have a
good 3 point support before you pull the trigger!
Sounds great. The best feature on my olde Milwaukee is that it has a
1/2" chuck. Man, is that handy!
