Snap-on Introduces 18V MonsterLithium Compact Drill

Full-sized productivity in a compact power tool

KENOSHA, Wis. (Jan. 26, 2016) - Snap-on introduces a compact version of the popular CDR8850H with the new CDR8815 18V MonsterLithium Compact 1/2" Cordless Drill Kit. Packed with power, the CDR8815 boasts 500 inch-pounds of torque output for tackling tough jobs.


"The CDR8815 may be small in size, but it offers powerful results," says Rodger Isetts, product manager for Snap-on. "Technicians want easy-to-use, compact tools without sacrificing productivity or durability. Along with its smaller size, this reliable drill provides techs 33 percent long runtime to get multiple jobs done around the shop."


The CDR8815 features a precision enhancing variable-speed trigger and a 22-position clutch to increase versatility. With a two-speed "high and low setting" gearbox, a two speed gearbox allows you select the proper torque for your specific application. The CDR8815 also features a bright,

one-watt LED light to illuminate the work area. The all metal single sleeve steel chuck with carbide jaws keeps the bit from slipping. This powerful drill is a necessity for efficiency and productivity in the shop and out in the field.


"Today's technicians are on-the-go and want compact tools that can travel with them from shop-to- shop or home-to-shop. The lightweight CDR8815 is a complete drill kit with all the essential items, including a charger, handle, two batteries and tote for easy transporting," Isetts says.
