Interskol D-10/350ER

Interskol D-10/350ER
Inexpensive professional drill from a well-known Russian manufacturer. Of the hammerless drills produced by Interskol D-10 / 350ER - the lightest in weight. When drilling holes of small diameter, there are practically no deviations in accuracy. This is achieved due to the rigid longitudinal fastening of the spindle. Suspension of the drill to the waist belt is carried out using a special clip mounted on the gearbox. The drill has three bearings (two mounted on the rotor, one on the spindle). A sleeve is mounted on the opposite end of the spindle.
- low price
- good build quality, despite the abundance of not too expensive components
- comfortable grip, due to the presence of rubber pads on the handle and the angle of the handle
- excellent accuracy in drilling small diameter holes
- lack of bearing on the reverse side of the spindle
- low torque
- the danger of acquiring a fake assembled in an underground factory

Metabo BE 850

Metabo BE 850
The first glance of a person who is unfamiliar with the device and the characteristics of this drill will immediately make you think that he has a medium power hammer drill in front of him. This idea is suggested by the gearbox on the body on the left, which is actually the speed switch. The design is equipped with a special clutch that protects the gearbox and drill wedge from overload. The reverse mechanism with a side switch works on the principle of a brush assembly.
- dust protection
- Robust two-speed gearbox design
- good vibration control
- the presence of nests in the spindle for replaceable bits
- High noise at maximum speed (up to 96 dB)

DeWalt DWD115KS

DeWalt DWD115KS
DeWalt's 700W T-Pistol Drill features an unusual design for tools in this class. The designers placed the handle strictly under the point where the center of gravity is located. This made it easier to work with one hand. A ratchet is mounted in the chuck, which prevents unwinding after turning on the reverse mode. The durability and reliability of this model is still in question due to the refusal of the designers to use metal - the body of the drill is entirely made of plastic.
- powerful motor
- low price
- comfortable ergonomic body
- anti-twisting protection on reverse
- overload controller
- lack of metal in the body nodes

Makita HP2032
Model of a Japanese tool concern, which is assembled in the UK. The kit includes a two-stage gearbox in a metal case and a damper to reduce vibration when jerking.

- The ability to change the rotation speed depending on the complexity of the surface
- electronic speed controller
