What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing identifies the tool as an auto hammer in its title and description, but labels it a hammer drill in the technical details. Its listed 3.5-inch chuck size and wood and metal drilling capacities also do not align clearly with the described nail-driving tool. Confirm the intended tool specifications before purchase. The description reports 4,200 IPM, while the included-components details identify the tool as AH6552A-00 although the kit model is AH6552A-11.
