Black&Decker KR8542K

Exactly 100 years have passed since the American entrepreneurs Duncan Black and Alonso Decker joined forces to invent and patent a new design electric drill. Today, Black&Decker is one of the market leaders in power tools for repair and construction, and the KR8542K impact drill occupies the top lines in the global sales chart.

Ergonomics

The KR8542K easily handles drilling holes in metal, concrete, wood, chiselling brick, driving screws and mixing mortar.

The 13mm quick-release chuck with automatic spindle lock holds the drill securely while allowing quick drill changes.

The rubberized handle has a comfortable grip. All controls are located so that they are easy to operate with one hand. The additional handle is attached at any angle, and for fixing it is not necessary to unscrew and remove it from the case. All these nuances make the process of work as comfortable as possible.

Reliability

The body of the drill is assembled soundly, all the elements are tightly fitted, nothing backlashes or rattles. The heart of the tool — the gearbox is placed in a cast aluminium housing, which guarantees long-term operation of the electromechanical part. Also note the absence of perceptible runout, both in the body and in the chuck, even at the highest speeds, which has a positive effect on the quality of drilling and the efficiency of the work performed.

Price advantage

With a low power of 850 W, the drill is high-speed, 1100 – 3100 rpm, and the maximum torque is 62 N / m, which is an indicator of the semi-professional level of the tool and allows you to work with high-density materials. With all this, the model is significantly cheaper than drills from other well-known competitors with similar features and less torque.

The tool is completed with a convenient plastic case and a depth gauge. But drills and other accessories will have to be purchased separately.

The KR8542K impact drill is an inexpensive, but intelligent and reliable assistant in everyday life and in the professional field.
