September 28, 2007—Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, has released the new SBE610 hammer drill, which features a robust die-cast aluminum gear housing for increased durability, improving the tool’s dissipation of heat and increasing its service life.
With a weight of only 4.5 lbs and a powerful 610-watt motor, the new hammer drill offers fatigue-free and comfortable operation when working with materials such as concrete, metal, wood, brick and tile. The SBE610 is ideal for numerous applications in the gas, water and electrical utilities as well as, heating installation and construction industries, says the company.
The tool’s ergonomic design, including a rubberized handle and compact construction, creates a perfectly balanced machine for improved safety, comfort and performance. Metabo’s new hammer drill also features greater drilling performance and a new exhaust routing feature to circulate air downward and toward the front of the tool to re-route dust and debris away from the tool’s motor and its user.
