The HAMMER UDD 500 LE drill, despite the fact that it has a hammer drilling function, in our opinion, cannot be used as a full-fledged tool for drilling stone materials, such as concrete or natural stone.
Let's take a closer look at the technical specifications.
With an engine power of only 500 W, the manufacturer sets the maximum possible drill diameter for metal to 13 mm.
Yes, this drill can be installed in an existing drill chuck, but how efficient will drilling be? For those who drilled steel with a thickness of at least 6-8 mm with a drill of at least 10 mm on a drilling machine with a belt drive, they will say that this is a rather complicated thing, and the machine has many times more power than a drill.
So judge for yourself whether you can drill thick steel with a large drill with this drill or not.
It is also worth taking into account that during drilling, the engine will heat up, and faster and stronger in case of increased pressure on the drill. You will have to take breaks during the drilling process to allow the engine to cool so that it does not burn out.
In all other respects, this drill fits very well into a set of tools for the home.
Drilling several holes for a shelf in the wall with the HAMMER UDD 500 LE, drilling wood and plastic, thin metal and other similar work - this electric drill will do it all.
The motor of an electric drill is capable of providing about 3000 revolutions per minute, which is enough for everything.
In case the drill jammed during the drilling process, a reverse function has been introduced into the design of the electric drill. Switch the lever and easily remove the drill from the hole.
As a disadvantage, it is worth noting the rather large weight: about 1.8 kg. Which is a bit too much for a drill of this power.
The power supply of this electric drill is carried out from a standard electrical network of 220 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
The electric drill comes with a depth gauge and an additional handle. They will be in demand when drilling blind holes in the walls of a given depth.
Outwardly, like other HAMMER power tools, the described model is made with a green plastic case. Controls: The buttons are highlighted in red to be clearly visible. The handle of the drill is a classic pistol grip and has a special anti-slip coating, which is very useful when you have to work on a hot day. On the electric cord, near the handle, there is a special mount for the cartridge key.
