WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The manufacturer and retailer list 800 CFM, 180 MPH, two operating modes, a variable-speed trigger, cruise control, an 8Ah battery and a charger. Pro Tool Reviews measured 24.8 N and 79 dB(A) at 36 inches, while its high-mode runtime test lasted 11 minutes 37 seconds. The manufacturer's low-speed claim is over 85 minutes with a 40V 8Ah battery, so it should not be treated as maximum-power runtime.
