Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need a key to change the drill bits? No, the TH-ID 550/1 is equipped with a 13 mm quick-release chuck, which allows you to hand-tighten and swap bits quickly and easily.

2. Can this drill be used for screwdriving? Yes, thanks to the speed electronics and the reversible rotation feature, you can use it for driving and removing screws in various materials.

3. Is it powerful enough for concrete? Yes, it features a pneumatic-assisted impact mechanism that can drill up to 16 mm into concrete and masonry, which is more than sufficient for most household fixings.

4. What is the benefit of speed preselection? Speed preselection allows you to set a maximum speed before you start, which prevents the bit from "skating" on smooth surfaces like tiles or from stripping the head of a screw.
