Professional Cordless Drilling Power — Compact, Capable, and Built to Last
- 45 Nm Maximum Torque with 15+1 Clutch Settings: The ED-45 delivers a robust 45 Newton-metres of torque, giving you the driving force needed for heavy-duty fastening tasks. The 15-position torque clutch plus a dedicated drill mode (position 16) allows precise control over screw depth, preventing over-driving and protecting workpiece surfaces across a wide range of materials and fastener sizes.
- Mechanical 2-Speed Gearbox — 0–500 RPM & 0–1,750 RPM: The dual-speed mechanical gearbox lets you switch between a low-speed, high-torque mode (Mode 1 / 0–500 RPM) for screw driving and a high-speed mode (Mode 2 / 0–1,750 RPM) for drilling. Combined with the variable speed trigger, you get granular control over the motor's output — the harder you squeeze, the faster the driveshaft spins — making it equally effective for delicate pilot holes and aggressive material removal.
- 13mm Keyless Metal Chuck with Forward/Reverse Control: The 13mm keyless metal chuck accepts a wide range of round and hex-shank drill bits and driver bits, tightening and loosening with a single hand for rapid bit swaps on the job. The forward/reverse switch is conveniently positioned for thumb operation, enabling effortless screw extraction and bit removal without interrupting workflow.
- 20V Li-Ion Battery System with Real-Time Power Monitoring: Powered by a 2,000 mAh (2.0Ah) 20V Lithium-Ion battery (IDU BT20-2A), the ED-45 benefits from the low self-discharge and consistent power delivery characteristic of high-quality Li-Ion cells. The integrated LED battery power indicator provides a real-time charge level readout directly on the tool, so you always know when to reach for the included 2.4A standard charger (IDU CH60-2A, 220–240V / 50–60Hz) before heading back to the job.
- Built-in LED Work Light for Precision in Low-Light Conditions: The integrated LED work light illuminates the drill bit and workpiece surface automatically, making it indispensable when working under stairs, inside cabinets, in wall cavities, or any confined space where ambient lighting is insufficient. This eliminates the need for a separate torch and keeps both hands on the tool.
- Double Insulation, Compact Body & Ergonomic Carry System: The ED-45 features a double-insulated construction that ensures electrical components are fully isolated from the outer casing, providing an additional layer of user safety. At just 1.66 kg (including battery and charger), the super-compact body reduces operator fatigue during extended use. An integrated heavy-duty carrying strap and metal belt clip provide secure, hands-free portability between tasks on the job site. The complete kit is stored and transported in a rigid PVC carrying case for organised, protected storage of the machine, battery, charger, and accessories.
The IDU ED-45 Cordless Drill Kit is certified to CE (Machine Test), CB (Comprehensive Machine Test), and RoHS (Raw Materials Test) standards, confirming compliance with international safety and environmental directives. The kit ships complete with the drill machine, a 2.0Ah 20V Li-Ion battery (IDU BT20-2A), a 2.4A standard charger with Type G plug (IDU CH60-2A), a metal belt clip, an integrated carrying strap, a PVC carrying case, and a guide book — everything required to get to work straight out of the box.
General Purchase & Comparison Queries
Does the IDU ED-45 come with a battery and charger, or do I need to buy them separately?
The IDU ED-45 is sold as a complete cordless kit. It includes the drill machine, a 2.0Ah 20V Li-Ion battery (IDU BT20-2A), and a 2.4A standard charger (IDU CH60-2A) — so you can get to work straight out of the box with no additional purchases required. The charger is fitted with a Type G (British 3-Pin) plug and operates on 220–240V / 50–60Hz, making it compatible with UAE, UK, and GCC mains supplies.
How does the IDU ED-45 compare to a brushless cordless drill?
The ED-45 uses a high-efficiency brushed motor paired with a mechanical 2-speed gearbox to deliver reliable, consistent torque across a wide range of applications. While brushless motors offer marginally longer motor life in ultra-high-cycle industrial environments, the ED-45's double-insulated construction, 45 Nm max torque, and heavy-duty engineering make it an excellent value proposition for professional tradespeople and serious DIY users who need dependable performance without the premium brushless price point.
What is included in the PVC carrying case?
The rigid PVC carrying case is designed to house and protect the complete kit: the ED-45 drill machine, the IDU BT20-2A 2.0Ah 20V battery, the IDU CH60-2A standard charger, the metal belt clip, the carrying strap, and the guide book. The case keeps all components organised and protected during transport and storage on the job site.
Product-Specific and Usage Queries
What materials and sizes can the IDU ED-45 drill through?
The ED-45 is rated for a maximum drill capacity of 32mm in wood and 13mm in steel. The 13mm keyless metal chuck accepts standard round and hex-shank bits. For wood drilling, use Mode 2 (high speed / 0–1,750 RPM) for clean, fast holes. For steel, switch to Mode 1 (low speed / 0–500 RPM) with appropriate HSS drill bits to maintain control and extend bit life. The variable speed trigger gives you additional fine-tuned control over penetration rate.
How do I use the torque settings and 2-speed gearbox correctly?
The 15+1 torque clutch controls how much rotational force is applied before the clutch disengages — lower numbers (1–5) are ideal for small, delicate screws in soft materials, while higher numbers (10–15) suit larger fasteners in hardwood or metal. Position 16 (drill mode) locks the clutch out entirely for pure drilling. The mechanical 2-speed gearbox works independently: Mode 1 (0–500 RPM) provides maximum torque for driving screws, while Mode 2 (0–1,750 RPM) provides higher speed for drilling operations. Always match the speed mode to the task for optimal results and battery efficiency.
Does the LED work light stay on continuously or only when the trigger is pressed?
The built-in LED work light on the IDU ED-45 activates when the trigger is engaged, illuminating the drill bit and immediate work surface to improve accuracy in poorly-lit spaces such as under stairs, inside wall cavities, or inside cabinets. This design conserves battery charge by only drawing power when the tool is in active use, maximising your runtime per charge.
Problem/Solution-Oriented Queries
The drill is not driving screws fully — what should I adjust?
If screws are not seating fully, the torque clutch setting is likely too low. Rotate the clutch collar to a higher number to allow more torque before the clutch disengages. Also confirm the gearbox is set to Mode 1 (0–500 RPM) for screw driving — using Mode 2 at high speed reduces torque output and can cause cam-out on the fastener head. If the issue persists, check that the battery is adequately charged using the LED battery indicator; a low charge will reduce available torque significantly.
How do I know when the battery needs charging?
The ED-45 features an integrated LED battery power indicator on the battery pack. When the indicator shows a low charge level, connect the IDU CH60-2A standard charger to a 220–240V / 50–60Hz mains supply using the included Type G plug. Charge the battery fully before returning to work to ensure consistent torque output and motor performance. Using a Lithium-Ion battery, the ED-45 does not suffer from memory effect, so you can top up the charge at any point without affecting long-term battery capacity.
The chuck is not holding the drill bit securely — how do I fix this?
The 13mm keyless metal chuck must be tightened firmly by hand before use. Grip the chuck collar and rotate it clockwise (when viewed from the front) until the bit is clamped securely with no lateral play. Ensure the bit shank is fully inserted into the chuck before tightening. If the chuck continues to slip under load, inspect the bit shank for wear or damage and replace if necessary. The keyless design allows rapid tightening without tools, but always verify the bit is locked before applying power.
