The mass of the model is 2.5 kg, but this is inevitable since the tool is a percussion, and the frequency of impacts with this drill can reach 44,800 per minute. This ultimately guarantees you a longer service life. And at the expense of the convenient handle the drill well lies in a hand.

As a result, it is worth noting that with frequent operation, the model at the end of the warranty period becomes of little use for work. For example, brushes wear out, there are problems with the speed controller. As for the controversial points in the reviews, they mostly relate to ease of use, in particular, the cartridge, and the key with which it is used.
