Drill Makita HP1640K

Medium power impact drill for the widest range of low to medium intensity jobs. Equipped with a toothed cam key chuck and an additional thrust side handle, which greatly improves the control of the drilling process. The manufacturer is positioned as a product of the middle price category, intended for active domestic and occasional professional use. It can become a reliable assistant for a DIY-master, who is used to doing most of the home assembly and dismantling, construction and finishing work on his own.

Able to play the role of a spare or replacement tool in professional activities. The Makita HP1640K drill is equipped with a simple and reliable air-cooled commutator motor with a power consumption of 680 watts. To transform the high-speed rotation of the rotor into the rotation of the equipment (up to 1850 rpm), a durable single-speed gearbox based on a thermally hardened pair of steel gears is used. This model is capable of drilling simple structural steels (up to 13 mm in diameter), non-ferrous metals and alloys based on them, ceramics and soft mineral materials, polymers and any kind of wood (up to 30 mm in soft woods). Impact mode allows you to create holes in concrete (up to 16 mm).

Ideal drill for homework

30 October 2017

I have known the Makitov electric tool for a long time, when it was one of the best manufacturers. A lot of time has passed since that very first acquaintance, I no longer do finishing work, but when I needed a good power tool for cosmetic repairs in the apartment to which I was transporting my family, I again remembered a proven brand. And you know, Makita is still good. This, of course, is not a professional tool, but home needs, but it covers completely.

A good impact drill, actually an ideal home tool or a good option for occasional professional work. To make it clear why it is not suitable for serious tasks, I will say that all drills with a plastic gearbox housing are consumer goods. PRO-level models are equipped with an aluminium case, it removes heat much better and holds a blow if something happens. The speed is one, but with the help of a convenient button it can be more or less satisfactorily maintained in manual mode. A key type chuck, quite high quality made of excellent hard steel. You can drill wood (up to 30mm), concrete (up to 16mm) and steel (up to 13mm). True, there are no protective sleeves, as on professional models, so you need to be more careful with the jamming of the drill. The chance to burn the engine is small, but it is. Concrete in shock mode drills well. In terms of speed, in comparison with a rotary hammer, the difference is 3-4 times, but at home it does not matter. Ergonomic, comfortable in hand

IMHO, the price is too high. For a simple, albeit good, amateur-level drill, they want too much.

The tool is not visible to criticism, and that extended guarantee does not fit into ours, for the second time, the Volodinnya tsієyu model was broken from 20 to 50 openings in the walls, so for the small openings of the vicorists, a thermal screw drill was needed for such a blow itself fret. The servant, having taken the drill for repair, said that the function of the blow is needed only for increasing sales, and for opening in the walls, take a rotary hammer.

Koshtuє like a pіv Mercedes, you can make a gift, so that it’s not shameful.

Not a long life cycle for the instrument, it is in warranty repair.

use Makita HP1640 more than year
