ID ED16M ELECTRIC DRILL MACHINE [G-240V] - 21694

The ID ED16M is firmly a professional-grade drill. Its 800W motor, 36mm wood and 16mm steel drilling capacity, and 3.2 kg robust build are specifications typically found in contractor-level tools. While it is absolutely usable for serious DIY projects, its power and durability make it the preferred choice for tradespeople, construction workers, and workshop professionals who need a reliable drill for daily, heavy-duty use.

Yes, absolutely. The ED16M is rated for 220–240V AC at 50/60Hz, which is perfectly matched to the UAE's standard mains supply of 220–240V. It also comes fitted with a Type G (British 3-Pin) plug, which is the standard plug type used throughout the UAE, making it plug-and-play ready with no adapters required.

The ED16M comes as a complete, ready-to-use package. In the box you will find the drill machine itself, an auxiliary side handle for two-handed control on heavy drilling tasks, a chuck key for securing and changing drill bits, a replacement auto-stop carbon brush set to extend the tool's service life, and a guide book with operating instructions. Everything you need to get started immediately on site is included.

The ID ED16M can drill holes up to 36mm in diameter in wood and up to 16mm in diameter in steel. This makes it well-suited for tasks like installing large wooden dowels, cutting holes for pipe fittings and cable conduits in timber, and drilling anchor or bolt holes in structural steel sections. For masonry or concrete drilling, a hammer drill or SDS drill would be more appropriate.

The variable speed trigger controls the drill's RPM proportionally to how hard you squeeze it. A gentle squeeze produces a slow, controlled rotation — ideal for starting a hole accurately without the bit skating across the surface, or for driving screws without stripping them. Squeezing fully delivers the motor's maximum 550 RPM for fast, powerful drilling. This level of control is essential for working across different materials and fastener types without causing damage.

Yes. The forward and reverse function on the ED16M makes it fully capable of both driving screws in (forward mode) and removing them (reverse mode). Combined with the variable speed trigger, you can control the torque applied to avoid over-driving or stripping screw heads. Simply fit the appropriate screwdriver bit into the chuck, select your direction, and use a light trigger squeeze for precise screw driving.

No — this is precisely what the auto-stop carbon brush system is designed to prevent. When the carbon brushes reach the end of their service life, the auto-stop mechanism automatically cuts power to the motor before any internal damage can occur. This protects the motor's armature from costly wear. A replacement carbon brush set is included in the box, so you can simply fit the new brushes and the drill will be back in full working order without any need for professional servicing.

The ED16M is built with Class II double insulation, which means all live electrical components inside the drill are fully isolated from the outer casing by two independent layers of insulation. This design eliminates the risk of electric shock from the tool's body even if an internal fault occurs, and means the drill does not rely on an earth connection for user safety. It is a recognised international safety standard and is confirmed by the drill's CE certification.

Bit slippage is almost always caused by an improperly tightened chuck. To fix this, insert the drill bit fully into the chuck and hand-tighten it as much as possible. Then use the included chuck key — insert it into each of the three chuck key holes in turn and tighten firmly in a clockwise direction until the bit is fully gripped. Ensure you tighten all three positions evenly. Never operate the drill with a loose bit, as this can damage both the chuck and the workpiece.
