In this article, we want to talk about another model of such a useful and necessary perforator in a set of construction tools: KRATON RHE-500-20.
To begin with, we note that a hammer drill is a tool whose main purpose is drilling various bases from mineral materials. It can be concrete, brick, wall blocks, reinforced concrete products and much more. These bases can be covered with additional layers of plaster or not.
In order for the drilling of these listed materials to be as efficient as possible, the drilling mode of the perforator takes place with a blow. That is, together with the rotation of the drill (drill), a shock impulse is additionally transmitted to the point of application of the force. Thus, the mineral material (stone) is destroyed much faster.
The KRATON RHE-500-20 perforator is sold in stores not in a case, but in a regular cardboard box. It is not so convenient when storing and carrying the tool, but the price is more profitable than many other similar tool models.
In terms of its technical parameters, KRATON RHE-500-20 certainly does not differ in too high performance. For professional activities, this puncher is not recommended for use. However, for household needs, including construction and repair, it is suitable for many people.
The power of the tool is only 500 W, while the rotary hammer motor allows you to reach a drill speed of up to 850 rpm.
Like other models of this tool, it is equipped with an SDS + shank chuck. The replacement of the drill is carried out by a simple click. This is very convenient when you need to drill holes of various diameters and change nozzles frequently.
This model has 2 drilling modes. Basic with impact and conventional drilling. On conventional drilling, you can make holes in soft materials such as foam concrete, as well as drill metal, wood or plastic. True, in the second case, it will be necessary to additionally purchase an additional key cartridge for conventional drills.
The mechanism of this rotary hammer has an electronic speed control and a reverse function. This allows not to spoil the tool in case of jamming of the drill in the hole and to easily and with minimal effort to remove the drill from the hole.
For long drilling at the same speed, the main handle has a start button lock.
That is, you will not need to constantly press the start during drilling. This perforator has a fairly low weight, only 2.3 kg, and it is quite easy for them to work while standing on a stepladder or ladder at a height. Hands will tire much more slowly.
The instrument is powered from a normal 220 V household power supply, but since the power cord is quite small, take care of an extension cord in advance.
In addition, the tool comes with an additional handle, a drilling depth limiter and one drill 6x160 mm.
