Drill Makita HP1640 is one of the popular models of this well-known company. It is an excellent example of an impact drill for home use, although given the reliability it can be used in professional construction. In fact, this model combines such indicators as power, performance and functionality. It is also very convenient due to its low weight, and of course the hammer drilling function will never be superfluous. Like other samples of construction tools, the Makita HP1640 model has a modification. You can distinguish it by the letter K after the digital designation. This means that the drill is sold in a plastic case.
If we talk about the advantages of this model, it is worth noting that the model, or rather the body, has an ergonomic design, due to which the hands do not slip, and the embossed surface of the handles only improves grip. The tool is perfect for drilling walls and ceilings, when you need to hold it in your hands for a long time. Behind
due to its low weight, it can also be used with one hand, which allows you to reach hard-to-reach places, or at the same time hold on to the stepladder with the other (such cases often also happen).
If the drill is jammed during drilling - for example in a metal part, you can always use the reverse function to free it. Due to the fact that the chuck is tightened with a special key, on the one hand, this increases the time for replacing the drill, and on the other hand, it allows the drill to be fixed more securely. Also, the tool has an original system of carbon brushes, which allows to significantly increase the resource of their work.
If we talk about the cost of the described model, then depending on the store, it ranges from 2200 to 2600 rubles. This is a fairly small amount for a good household electric drill. By the way, if you find a built-in backlight and a keyless chuck when buying a Makita HP1640, then you should know: in fact, this is a slightly different model: HP1641.
And finally, we want to reflect in the article the results of a study of various construction forums for feedback on the tool. We want to note that the vast majority of them are positive, or rather, all that we found, except for one. And even if he honestly made an impression of a custom-made one, it was only negative. In addition, the person who left the review, judging by the shortcomings described, purchased the HP1641 model, as he complained about poor backlighting. Well, as useful information, we present the main characteristics of the model at the end of the article.
