The BORT BSM-650U electric drill is a great choice for a home tool kit. If we consider its technical characteristics, then this drill model is quite suitable for the whole range of possible repair work.
The power of the Bort drill of this model is quite sufficient - 650 watts.
At the same time, it is equipped with a reliable key chuck for a maximum drill diameter of 13 mm. The key chuck allows you to securely fix the drill, which is very important when drilling hard materials, such as concrete or thick steel.
In order for the drill to be easily pulled out of the hole if it is stuck there, the design of the electric drill has a reverse function.
The motor of this drill provides a standard speed of 2800 rpm.
It is also worth noting the possibility of adjusting the rotation speed with the start button.
The harder you push, the higher the rpm, the weaker the lower. By the way, you will need low speeds when drilling hard metal, since at high speeds you can simply ruin the drill by “licking” the cutting edges.
The manufacturer provides fairly high rates for drilling various materials (meaning the maximum diameter of the drill used), but we do not recommend focusing on them, especially if hard materials are taken into account.
For example, you will drill a thick metal of 10 mm with an ordinary drill for a long time, while you will need to use several drills, gradually increasing the diameter of the hole.
Also note the small weight of this tool. The BORT BSM-650U electric drill weighs only 1.34 kg, which is very good at home, when you often have to drill at an uncomfortable angle and at a certain height.
The body of this model is made of blue plastic, which is typical for the line of BORT power tools. The drill has a classic layout with a horizontal motor. For cooling in the back of the case there are special slots. Pistol grip with rubber grip. The slip prevents slipping of the hand on a hot day.
Trigger type start button with a special wheel that allows you to adjust the speed. Also on the handle there is a button for fixing the revolutions. This is very convenient when you need to drill for a long time at one speed.
The electric drill is powered from a 220 V network. At the same time, there is a special mount for the chuck key on the electric cord.
As a minus, it is worth noting the fact that in the case of using a depth gauge, it slightly closes the drilling mode switch button, which is located on the left side of the drill body.
