Metabo UHE 28 Drill
Have had this for a little while now. Has plenty of grunt for what I use it for.
Has two quick change chucks, one for standard bits, the other SDS. Very useful as I use it to drill both timber and brickwork. Am able to leave the bits in the chuck and simply swap over as required.
The large rotary dial on the side selects the mode of use ie between hammer mode and standard drilling. There is even a "chipping" mode which I found is fine for removing the odd tile or breaking off a small piece of concrete.
On the side to the rear of the drill is foward/reverse control. Just have to make sure it is pushed all the way in the appropriate direction.
As expected the unit has a variable speed trigger. On top is also a speed controller which I find really useful in case I get too carried away especially when drilling into brick. If I was to fault this unit it would probably be that on some bricks it can be a bit harsh ie the hammer hits a bit too hard, so one needs to be carefull when drilling the first brick on a job.
There is an overload cut out which I have tested a few times when drilling into old redgum posts.
I tend to give my power tools a good workout and in my view it comes up trumps. I am happy to recommend it to anyone who needs a drill to work all day without fuss.Last edited by ubeaut; 16th November 2008 at 10:38 PM.

I agree with everything you've said. An extremely versatile and powerful drill. Dedicated, single purpose drills, stirrers and SDS hammers may ultimately do a better job, but at a much higher price, and with nothing like the portability. Taking one tool to the job instead of 3 has my vote everytime! This and a good quality cordless take cares of all jobsite drilling requirements.
Sycophant to nobody!
