Origin
This solution was developed to solve the challenge of previous size constraints limiting access, performance tradeoffs, and productivity loss due to the need to switch between multiple solutions. The focus was to deliver the smallest profile with the best balance of speed and torque and the ability to insert sockets directly into the head of the tool, eliminating extra size from the anvil and standard socket connection.
