My 18v dewalt drill is rated at 460w so maybe the rating isn’t that fanciful. From memory there are many creative ways of rating power, I remember Amstrad used to rate their Hifi as peak-peak giving ludicrously high numbers despite the industry standard being RMS (blimey that’s got a few cogs ticking in my brain)

Nevertheless no matter what the real power is the tool does a much better job than I ever anticipated and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend one to a friend or on here.
