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.
The light weight of the BHE20 (only 5 lbs.) combined with its extended D-shaped handle, provides users with an improved comfort level.
The tool is available in two versions; tool only, or with an integrated dust collection system which collects dust at the point of origin, minimizing the user's exposure to free silica.
The BHE20 has 3/8" capacity in mild steel, 7/8" capacity in softwood, and using SDS-plus carbide bits, its capacity in concrete is 3/4".
It is equipped with electronic variable speed control, a forward-reverse switch and an anti-vibration side handle.
An accessory joist hanger that easily attaches to the tool is also available with the BHE20, making it handy when working from a ladder or scaffold.
With 1.6 joules of impact energy, the BHE 20 also offers Metabo's unique Quick change SDS chuck system that releases by a quarter turn of the chuck, rather than a sliding chuck, and prevents exposing the inside of the chuck to damaging dust and dirt.
In addition, the BHE 20 has a 4-amp motor that generates up to 89 inch-lbs of torque.
It has a no load speed of 0-1000 RPM and no load blows per minute of 0-4900 BPM.
The tool's rated input is 450 watts and with the integral dust extraction system, it weighs 8 lbs.
