CONCEPT AND MAIN APPLICATIONS
P1/ 14
BFT043F, BFT083F, BFT125F
Cordless Screwdrivers 14.4V
These three cordless screwdrivers for fastening works in assembling line
have been developed as sister models of BFT040F series.
Additionally to the same tool durability and high fastening torque accuracy
as the current series models, these products feature low rotational speed for
soft joint applications such as fastening rubber parts; gaskets, hoses, etc.
These products are powered by 14.4V/ 3.0Ah Li-ion batteries
BL1430/ BL1430A*.
These products are available in the following specifications
with the model numbers described below.
