Tools Series #1: HOME DIY USING BLACK & DECKER POWER TOOL 550W (KR554REKP20-B1)

I had been doing DIY projects for household related installation / projects for many years. One of the most important tools needed is a suitable and yet affordable power drill. All these whiles, I am using Black+Decker KR554REKP20-B1 550-Watt 13mm Hammer Drill. I had been using it for many years since then, it serves its purpose perfectly.

  1. Drilling / Hammering mode provides the power and speed to drill into masonry, steel and wood
  2. Variable speed for ultimate finger tip control for all drilling applications
  3. Reverse Brush System for full torque and power in forward and reverse
  4. Lock on button for continuous use
  5. To use the power drill effectively, it is necessary to choose the correct drill bits. There are different types for different purposes.

    Most of the time, I will choose multipurpose bits (6mm, most commonly used) to cover both tiles and masonry (cement) drilling, on "Hammer Mode" of power tools.
