Metabo UHE28 4 110V

If you’ve only considered buying Bosch or Makita up to now, the Metabo UHE28 4 corded SDS drill may make you change your mind. It’s one of the most powerful 2-3kg corded SDS drills out there, with 3 modes including chiselling and some nice extras too – such as the quick change chuck that lets you use your non-SDS drill bits. (Review continues below…)

The Metabo UHE28 4 110V is the only drill you’ll need in your tool bag. It’s got enough bite – 2.8 joules from a 600 watt motor – to get really stuck into concrete or brickwork; it’s got a hammer only mode for light chiselling and chipping; solid rotary drilling capability and the standard drilling chuck mentioned above. A great package that’s worth paying that little bit extra for.
