Makita 720 W Corded Impact Drill - 13 mm Keyed Chuck, 2-Speed Variable Speed (HP2050)

Maximum Grip and Sustained Impact Power

 

The Makita HP2050 is the go-to choice for heavy-duty masonry and structural steel applications where bit security is the top priority. By utilizing a traditional keyed chuck, this drill ensures a vice-like grip on the bit, preventing any slippage during high-vibration hammering or high-torque low-speed drilling.

It shares the powerful 720 W dual-speed platform but is optimized for tasks where the drill is pushed to its maximum capacity. The mechanical 2-speed gearbox allows you to switch from high-speed precision to raw, low-speed power, making it a versatile workhorse for plumbers, electricians, and steel fabricators who demand zero-fail bit retention.

 

Key Features

• Dual-Speed Gearbox: Mechanical 2-speed gearing provides high-speed drilling (0–2,900 r/min) for smaller bits and high-torque low speed (0–1,200 r/min) for heavy-duty applications.

• Torque Limiter: Integrated safety clutch prevents kickback when the drill bit binds, increasing tool longevity and operator safety.

• Low Vibration Technology: Engineered with extra-low vibration levels to reduce user fatigue during extended use.

• Industrial Keyed Chuck: 13 mm capacity chuck for maximum grip and secure bit retention in high-impact tasks.

• Versatile Capacities: Capable of drilling up to 20 mm in concrete, 13 mm in steel, and 40 mm in wood.
