  • 3 Speed Settings: Utilize the variable speed trigger and 3-speed switch to select the perfect balance of power and runtime for the task at hand.

 

Durability and Efficiency

 

  • Commercial-Grade Build: Features a new solid drive shaft design and a magnesium base plate, greatly increasing durability and ensuring a long commercial lifespan.

  • 1000-Hour Gearbox: Crafted from solid aluminum with NSK bearings, the commercial-grade gearbox is built for unparalleled longevity, with a lifespan exceeding 1000 hours of performance.

  • Load N' Go™ Spool Head: The high-capacity Load N' Go™ rapid reload spool holds 34 feet of 0.095-inch line, minimizing the need for frequent refills and allowing for quick line replacement (reloading takes about 60 seconds).
