Maxmech UED 20-13I Cordless Drill (Impact) 13mm Impact

The Maxmech UED 20-13I Cordless Drill (Impact) is a significant step up from a standard cordless drill, offering additional functionality crucial for tougher drilling tasks. The “I” in the model name usually denotes “Impact” or “Hammer” function.

Here’s a detailed look at its features and availability in Kenya:

Key Features & Specifications:

• Model: UED 20-13I (often marketed simply as “Maxmech 20V Cordless Impact Drill 13mm”)
• Voltage: 20V Lithium-Ion Battery – Provides strong power for both drilling and impact drilling, typical of a professional or pro-sumer cordless tool.
• Chuck Capacity: 13mm – A larger chuck size compared to 10mm drills, allowing for a wider range of drill bits and accessories, including those needed for masonry work.
• Impact Function: This is the key distinguishing feature. It provides a hammering action along with rotation, making it highly effective for drilling into masonry, brick, and light concrete. This is different from an impact driver, which applies rotational impacts for driving screws.
• Speed Settings: Typically features two mechanical speed settings:
  • Low speed (e.g., 0-450 RPM): For high-torque applications like driving large screws or drilling large holes in wood.
  • High speed (e.g., 0-1700 RPM or higher): For faster drilling in wood, metal, and plastic, and for the impact drilling function.
• Impact Rate (BPM – Blows Per Minute): This specification is crucial for impact drills. While not explicitly listed for this exact model in the search results, similar 20V 13mm impact drills usually have a high BPM (e.g., 0-25,500 BPM or more) to effectively break through masonry.
• Max Torque: Impact drills generally offer higher torque than standard drills. Expect a significant torque rating (e.g.,
