Light and bright

Among other corded drills, the Black&Decker KR504CRE stands out for its light weight (1.6 kg) and, of course, the bright orange colour that is typical for all Black&Decker tool models. It is impossible not to note the completely metal cartridge with a corrugated notch. It is quick-clamping, so tooling changes quickly and easily. But if you prefer a tool with a more conservative design, then Black & Decker has a fully identical KR504RE model with a traditional turnkey chuck for you.

Work but don't overwork

It should be remembered that, despite the presence of an impact mode, it is not rational to use this drill as a rotary hammer. Heavy concrete is difficult for her, because the tool is designed for drilling less dense materials. But she easily handles with solid and hollow bricks, aerated concrete and ceramic blocks — those building materials from which internal partitions are made in modern houses and apartments. Also, do not use the Black & Decker KR504CRE for long-term mixing of plaster and thick finishing mixtures, because the drill motor is not powerful enough for such tasks (only 500 W).

Drill for home use

Black & Decker drills are not intended for professional use, and the manufacturer directly writes about this in the instruction manual. But as a household tool, they are good and fully justify their cost.
