Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can this drill be used for drilling into concrete? Yes. The HID-710 features a dedicated impact/hammer mode that allows it to drill into masonry and concrete with a maximum capacity of 13 mm.

2. Why should I choose a keyed chuck over a keyless one? Keyed chucks, like the one on the HID-710, provide a more secure mechanical grip on the drill bit. This is particularly beneficial for high-torque tasks or when using large masonry bits, as it prevents the bit from slipping in the chuck.

3. Does it include a depth gauge? Yes, the drill comes with a depth stop gauge that attaches to the auxiliary handle. This allows you to set a precise drilling depth, which is essential for tasks like installing wall plugs where you want to avoid drilling too deep.
