Makita HP2050F 6.6 Amp 3/4-Inch Hammer Drill with LED Light

This hammer drill illuminates drilling operations with a built-in shockproof, high output, white LED light that'll last as long as the tool. With a powerful 6-AMP motor and weight of just 5.1 lbs., this drill zips through those extended jobs without tweaking your wrists. This versatile tool features two different drill modes: hammering with rotation, or rotation only. A trusty positive stop that locks into either mode means no more slipping out of gear. A built-in torque limiter stops bit rotation when hitting reinforcements so you can kiss kickback goodbye. This drill also features a large trigger switch and 360-degree swivel side handle for added comfort and adaptability. For continuous use just click the recessed lock-on button. Makita's all ball bearing construction means smoother drilling and longer motor life. This drill handles well, and is comfortable to hold thanks to Makita's ergonomic design.

The B-25 Mitchell is a medium bomber developed at the end of the ‘thirties by order of the U.S. Army.As in this country,an independent air force did not yet formally exist there. What we call the U.S. Air Force now was known at the time as the U.S. Army Air Corps.

As early as March 1939 the U.S. Army Air Corps directed the American aircraft industry to develop a medium bomber. It had to be able to carry a 3000-pound bomb load over a distance of at least 2000 miles. The very latest Pratt & Whitney and Wright radial engines were to be considered as potential power plants. The Martin, Douglas, Stearman and North American factories submitted their respective designs, the NAA design being chosen as the winner. The prototype flew on August 19th 1940, as the first of a total production run of 9889 examples.

The Mitchell was named after the American general Billy Mitchell, who, shortly after the First World War, made vigorous pleas for creating an independent air force. He was reviled for his views, was forced to leave the army, but was rehabilitated posthumously.

Among the first great exploits of the Mitchell is the Tokyo Raid. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 the United States got involved in the war. General Jimmy Doolittle led a formation of Mitchell bombers in an attack on targets in Japan. The aircraft had taken off from an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean.

The Mitchell served on many fronts during the Second World War. The Dutch government was the first foreign buyer of the bomber. It had been ordered for service with the ML-KNIL, the Military Aviation department of the Royal Dutch East Indian Army. In addition, the Mitchell was bought or leased for operations with 320 (Dutch) Squadron in the Royal Air Force. After the war the Mitchell served in the Dutch East Indies during the anti-insurgency actions. Most of the aircraft were handed over to the Indonesian Air Force. In this country the Mitchell continued in MLD service up to 1954 with 320 Squadron, which was disbanded in 2005. The aircraft was especially used as a search-and-rescue plane, such as during the February 1953 flooding disaster.

The Mitchell in the SKHV fleet was acquired by a few private persons in 1989. After its transfer to the Netherlands in May 1990 the aircraft became the flagship of the DBAF/Duke of Brabant Air Force. A few years later the aircraft was bought by the DBAF. Its N320SQ registration keeps the memory of the Dutch crews alive. Partly at the request of the KLu the veteran bomber was added to the SKHV fleet in 2004, at the start of the close cooperation between the SKHV and the DBAF.

It is powered by a new 5.2L V10 with direct injection, with improved power and torque. Unlike the precedent engine, this engine no longer has split crankpins, so it is not even firing, but Lamborghini says that due to the stiffer crankshaft it has less vibrations than the previous engine.

Transmission choices include six-speed manual or a six-speed E-gear, with E-gear revised to change gears by a rotational selector instead of a fore/aft movement, which offers 40% quicker shifts. E-gear also added Corsa setting and Thrust Mode launch control system.

The car was also 20 kg (44 lb) lighter than 2008 base Gallardo. Other changes include a new front bumper influenced by the Murcielago and exterior lights influenced by the Lamborghini Reventon.

Gallardo LP 560-4 has base price of US$201,000, but can go over $222,000 with e-gear, carbon ceramic brakes, navigation and other options. Other factory options are available with Ad Personam program.The British version has MSRP of ?147,330.00 ($235,730 USD), including NavTrak vehicle tracking system and delivery package.

The vehicle was unveiled at 2008 Geneva Auto Show.

In an episode of Top Gear, the LP 560-4 managed a lap of 1:19.5, faster than the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, the Nissan GT-R, and its counterpart, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

The first production LP560-4 was built with help of an Automobile Magazine journalist.

The first US car was sold in 16th Annual Race to Erase MS charity auction for $270,000 to former True Religion Jeans co-founder/co-creator Kymberly Gold and music producer Victor Newman.
