ID EID13 [BLUE] ELECTRIC IMPACT DRILL MACHINE [G-240V] - 20239

The ID EID13 is engineered for professional and heavy-duty use. Its 600W motor, impact drilling mechanism, and double insulation safety construction place it firmly in the professional category. It is well-suited for contractors, electricians, plumbers, and construction workers who need a reliable, high-torque drill for daily site use. That said, its manageable 2.5 kg weight and intuitive variable speed trigger also make it accessible for serious DIY enthusiasts tackling renovation or masonry projects.

A regular drill applies only rotational force to the bit, making it effective for wood and soft materials. An impact drill (also called a hammer drill) adds a rapid hammering action along the drill axis — the bit simultaneously rotates and strikes forward in short, rapid bursts. This combination of rotary and impact force is what allows the EID13 to drill into concrete, brick, and masonry that would stall or damage a standard drill. If your work involves hard surfaces, an impact drill like the EID13 is the correct tool.

Yes. The ID EID13 is supplied with a Type G British 3-Pin plug, which is the standard plug type used throughout the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and other GCC countries. It is rated for 220–240V AC at 50/60Hz, which matches the UAE mains supply exactly. No adapter or converter is required — simply plug in and begin working.

The EID13 is designed to handle a broad range of materials. It can drill into concrete and masonry up to 13mm, steel up to 10mm, and wood up to 20mm. For concrete and masonry work, ensure you are using SDS or carbide-tipped masonry bits appropriate for impact drilling. For steel, use HSS (High-Speed Steel) metal drill bits, and for wood, standard twist or spade bits will deliver clean results.

The variable speed trigger is pressure-sensitive — the harder you squeeze the trigger, the faster the motor spins, up to a maximum no-load speed of 1,450 RPM. A light squeeze gives you slow, controlled rotation ideal for starting a hole accurately or driving screws without stripping. Full trigger pressure delivers maximum RPM for rapid drilling. This eliminates the need for a separate speed dial and gives you real-time, intuitive speed control throughout the drilling process.

The EID13 comes as a complete, ready-to-work package. Included in the box are the drill machine itself, a side handle that attaches to the front of the tool for two-handed stability and control during heavy drilling, a chuck key for tightening and releasing drill bits from the 13mm keyed chuck, and a guide book with operating instructions and safety information.

First, confirm that the hammer/impact mode is engaged on the machine — drilling concrete in rotation-only mode will yield little progress and may damage the bit. Second, ensure you are using a carbide-tipped masonry bit rated for impact drilling; standard twist bits are not designed for concrete. Third, apply firm, steady forward pressure without forcing the drill — let the impact mechanism do the work. If the bit is dull or worn, replace it. The EID13 supports up to 13mm in concrete, so if you are attempting a larger hole, you will need a more powerful rotary hammer drill.

The EID13's double insulation construction provides a significant safety advantage in challenging environments. Because all live electrical components are fully isolated from the outer casing, the risk of electric shock from incidental contact with moisture or conductive dust is greatly reduced. However, this tool is not rated as waterproof or IP-rated for submersion. Avoid direct exposure to rain or standing water. In dusty environments such as concrete cutting or masonry work, the double insulation protects against conductive dust ingress to the electrical system, but it is still advisable to store the tool in a dry location and inspect it regularly for debris buildup around the chuck and vents.

Bit slippage in a keyed chuck is almost always caused by insufficient tightening. Use the included chuck key and insert it into each of the three chuck key holes in sequence, tightening firmly at each position. The chuck has three tightening points to ensure even, centred clamping force around the bit shank. Make sure the bit shank is fully inserted before tightening. If slippage continues after proper tightening, inspect the bit shank for wear or damage, and check the chuck jaws for debris or wear that may prevent full engagement.
