The new BE1020 drill is ideal for joiners, fitters, HVAC installers, carpenters and other users who require a universal tool for drilling large and small holes in almost any type of wood or metal.
Owners can enable or disable multiple CODE!-protected rotary hammers using a single key or assign each tool either its own key for a single user or multiple keys for multiple authorized users.
An integrated LED signals whether the tool is enabled or disabled at a glance.
In the event of a power failure, the tool retains the enabled/disabled status set before the failure.
The CODE! system helps businesses save money by ensuring that they avoid the cost of replacing stolen tools; reducing theft-related work interruptions; and averting liability risks incurred by unauthorized use of equipment.
In the event of a lost key, only the key needs to be replaced; not the tool.
In announcing the CODE! system, David Smith, executive vice president, commented, "Metabo's rotary hammer series is designed to give the user the highest possible quality and value".
"By introducing the CODE! system we can ensure that the life of the tools is as long and cost-effective as possible, providing our customers with even greater value and peace of mind.".
