Drilling & fastening Drill Cordless 18V

The EY7450X is a cordless drill manufactured by Panasonic.

The machine has a brushed electric motor powered by a 18 volt battery.

Panasonic does not list the weight of the bare tool, only with a battery.

Exterior

The machine has a black and gray color scheme. Panasonic's own website shows a machine that looks darker than the one pictured here but with the same model number on the side.

The overall appearance pf the tool is smooth and rounded with a curvature from the chuck extending all the way to the motor housing.

On the bottom of the handle a 18V battery attaches by sliding in from the front. Above the battery is a white LED that illuminates the working area.

Around the work light is a membrane button to toggle it on and off and an low battery indicator and an overheating warning indicator.

On front of the handle is a black trigger switch. Above it is a gray push button to reverse the direction of rotation on each side.

On top of the housing is a gear selector switch.

At the front is clutch setting ring with 18 settings plus a drill setting that disables the clutch. Behind it is a collar around which an auxiliary handle can be attached. At the front is a black chuck with a maximum opening of 13 mm.

Operation

The machine works as a standard drill. It is activated by pressing the variable speed trigger switch. The push button above it can be used to reverse the turning direction or as a trigger lock when the button is centered.

The resistance of the clutch is adjusted with the ring behind the chuck.

The gear can be selected with the sliding switch on top of the body.

The machine body seems to be available in all black and one black/gray version.
