Drilling power

This drill is designed to make short work of tasks that a 2kg SDS may take its time over i.e. heavyweight anchor fixings, bigger holes for pipework, stubborn chiselling and chipping tasks. It has a big 720W motor that delivers 3.5 joules in impact energy which should be enough for most everyday trade jobs. The alternative is an SDS Max – it depends on how much serious chiselling and demolition work you’ll be doing.
