72709461090 - Fein KBE 35 JME Short Slugger II Mag Drill

Compact Power: Fein JME Short Slugger II Mag Drill

When your work takes you into tight corners and cramped operating situations, the Fein JME Short Slugger II is the magnetic drill you need in your arsenal. Known in the industry for its "Short Slugger" profile, this tool combines a compact height with the punching power of a much larger machine. It is the ideal solution for mobile welders, maintenance crews, and truck chassis fabricators who need to drill holes up to 1-3/8 inches in diameter without lugging around a heavy stationary press.

The versatility of the Short Slugger II is unmatched in its class. The feed hand wheel can be mounted on either the left or right side of the machine, allowing you to adapt the tool to the specific constraints of your workspace. If you are drilling up against a web or in a corner, simply swap the handle to the accessible side and keep working. The machine also supports twist drilling up to 1/2 inch with the appropriate accessories, making it a dual-purpose tool for both large coring and standard pilot holes.

Fein has equipped this model with a high-torque motor that maintains a steady 620 RPM under load, optimized for HSS and carbide annular cutters. The gravity-fed internal cooling system is a game-changer for tool life; it keeps your cutters cool and lubricated automatically, so you don't have to manually spray fluid while trying to operate the drill. This results in faster drilling times and cleaner holes with less burr.

Despite its small size, the Short Slugger II does not skimp on holding power. The magnetic base generates approximately 2,200 lbs of holding force, ensuring a rock-solid grip on steel surfaces. The intuitive control panel features large, easy-to-read buttons that can be operated even while wearing heavy welding gloves. With its excellent price-to-performance ratio, the Fein 72709461090 is a smart investment for any welder looking to upgrade their drilling capabilities with a tool that is built to last.
