I work with a screwdriver for 1000 rubles for 3 months. I'll tell you about the pros and cons of KOLNER KCD 12L
In the spring, it became necessary to buy an inexpensive screwdriver. I took it as a gift to my nephew, who is interested in construction. I wasn't chasing big power. The main requirements were the low price, the possibility of periodic use, but of course we also wanted the quality to be acceptable. Stopped for a model KOLNER KCD 12L.
Before giving a gift,decided to test the tool in action. The screwdriver pleasantly surprised me! To be honest, it was unexpected. I decided to keep it for myself and try it longer. I bought the same for my nephew. Now I'll tell you about the pros and cons that I discovered in 3 months of use.
The first advantage is price. This model can be bought up to 2 thousand rubles. Sometimes during promotions, the price is reduced by another 30-50 percent. For this price, toy tools are now being sold. So of course I was worried that the quality would be low. Although I read good reviews before buying.
The screwdriver turned out to be quite good. I must say right away that it is better not to take it for professional use. But for some irregular household chores, this is what you need. Now in more detail about the configuration and characteristics.
The appearance of the instrument and corporate identity in yellow-black colors associate it with the well-known brands DeWalt or Karcher. You understand that these are completely different companies, but subconsciously you expect the same quality and reliability. Marketers have worked out their salaries. Well done!
The screwdriver is delivered in a cardboard box containing the tool itself, 1 Li-ion 1.5 Ah battery, charger and a double-sided bit. An obvious disadvantage - this is the absence of a second battery. You can not count on long-term work. Therefore the screwdriver is suitable for small jobs. The battery takes a long time to charge - about 4-5 hours, although the instructions indicate the charging time is 3 hours.
The KOLNER KCD 12L drill driver weighs about 1 kg. The tool fits comfortably in the hand. The handle is equipped with a rubberized surface, the screwdriver does not slip out of the hands during operation. There is an illumination of the working area, reverse. The maximum number of revolutions is 500 rpm. The torque can be adjusted. There is a drilling mode. The drill can make holes in wooden structures - up to 16 mm, or in soft metal structures - up to 10 mm.
