(ARA) - If you know someone whose prized possession is their tool set, the ultimate gift this holiday season would be one that takes their collection over-the-top. Different power tools are used in a variety of hobbies ranging from woodworking to restoring old cars and everything in between. So, what could be better than a high-performance tool that can carry out five different functions?
Sure, every guy has an electric drill in his tool collection to handle simple tasks like hanging a picture or drilling pilot holes to set anchors in the wall. But, to have a tool that works on wood, concrete, stone and steel, has hammer action and drives screws, gives do-it-yourselfers and professionals alike exceptional versatility in one device. “The P’7911 Multihammer is the ultimate power tool, designed for the man who craves luxury and performance,” says Terry Tuerk of Metabo Corporation.
German manufacturer Metabo brings a new level of sophistication to the power tool category, blending the purist design with performance-driven ergonomics. “In partnership with Porsche Design, we created a sleek, lightweight multihammer with applied aesthetics that are more reminiscent of what you’d find in a sleek concept car than in an everyday drill or hammer,” explains Tuerk.
The multihammer’s extraordinary design, with the handle positioned on top, provides perfect balance to reduce fatigue and pivoting at the drill tip. This unique top-handle design allows the multihammer to lie directly below the user’s hand, ensuring a stable center of gravity and contributing to its lightweight feel. And, the tool’s flat base surface enables the hammer to be positioned upright, so that it is always ready for use.
The P’7911 is also equipped with Metabo’s quick-change chuck system, so whether drilling into brick, concrete, wood or metal, the correct chuck is always at hand. A safety clutch limits the erratic reverse torque that can occur if the drill bit gets jammed during drilling.
The 705-watt Multihammer combines all of the essential functions of a drill with the power of a hammer. It features a carbon fiber covered housing (a lightweight material commonly used in aerospace engineering) and aircraft grade aluminum, which combine to provide strength and rigidity. With just one switch, the user is able to choose between five functions: drilling in two speeds, hammer drilling, chiseling and screw driving.
So, when you’re drilling in brick or another tough material, drilling is as easy as drilling in birch. The tool comes equipped with two carbide tipped SDS-Plus rotary hammer bits, a 360 degree rotateable side handle, SDS-Plus chuck, 3 jaw solid steel keyless chuck and an exclusive storage case.
Created with the same distinct vision as the Porsche sports car, the P’7911 Multihammer is as innovative, bold and inspiring as its designer. Professor F.A. Porsche developed all of the Porsche Design products with creativity, functionality and timelessness.
