Download the JT30 Brochure »
Our customers wanted more power to perform all functions at once. Both the JT30 and its counterpart, the JT30 All Terrain, are the most powerful and quietest drills in their class—by a long shot. And both are products of direct customer feedback from years of experience in all types of job conditions. While we'd like to take all the credit for every innovative feature, we can't. But we will take full credit for being responsive to our customers' needs.
