Daventry-based FEIN UK Ltd, a manufacturer of power tools and accessories, has launched a new magnetic core drill, the KBE 32, in the UK.

Now available nationwide, the new KBE 32 is the most powerful in its class, with a 1,200W high-power motor reliable for drilling holes up to 32mm. It is also the first tool on the market to combine a weight of 10.8kg with 1,200W motor, offering a revolutionary power-to-weight ratio with high magnetic holding force, offering optimum control accessibility for those working in tight spaces.

Andy Mills, FEIN UK managing director, said: “We are expecting the KBE 32 to rapidly become a market leader, thanks to its ground-breaking power-to-weight ratio and ergonomic design. Equipped with innovative FEIN technology, the tool is the first of its kind in terms of both weight and functionality. Easy-to-use, robust and extremely lightweight, new magnetic core drill will make the perfect aid for the steel metal industry.”

The KBE 32 has been developed with a real focus on accessibility from each a size, weight and controls standpoint. This was a key priority throughout the entire R&D process. With over 150 years’ experience in manufacturing power tools, FEIN has a rich history of innovation, providing application-based solutions for end-users in the metalworking and construction sectors.

He continued: “Here at FEIN, we pride ourselves on our application-based approach and providing trusted expertise to our customers, which ultimately enables them to source the best solution for each job they undertake.”
