Tools for builders, installers and DIYers are not complete without a power tool such as a drill. The cost of these products is quite high, which means that you need to be prepared for the choice. Therefore, it is worth considering the features of Rebir drills and their types, as well as familiarizing yourself with tips on choosing the right product model for you.

Brand info

The history of the Rebir trademark dates back to 1971, when a plant was established in the Latvian city of Rezekne, which was engaged in the production of electrical tools. Since the 80s of the last century, the plant's products have been produced in close cooperation with German, Swedish and Swiss companies.

In 1994 the plant was reorganized into Rebir AS. Thanks to interaction with German partners, it was possible to achieve compliance with the quality of the products manufactured by the company to ISO-9001 standards.

Peculiarities

Despite the fact that the main sales market for the Latvian company continues to be the countries of the former USSR, all its products, including Rebir drills, meet high European quality standards and are made on high-precision German-made equipment... The raw materials for the company's products are also mainly supplied from the EU countries, due to which it is possible to achieve high reliability of the produced power tools.

Since 2011, part of the company's production facilities were transferred to China, so the quality of products released after that may not differ for the better from older models.

Another feature of the company's cordless drills is that all offered models are equipped with a screwdriver function, which turns them into a convenient and versatile tool for craftsmen who often have to work on the road.

Selection Tips

First of all, you need to decide what tasks and in what conditions you plan to perform the purchased tool.

If you are planning to purchase a tool for a summer cottage and are not going to drill concrete with it, then it is better to stop at a simple and cheap battery device like the AUM3N-12-2.

For craftsmen performing household repair work on call, it is suitable powerful and compact device type AUM5N-18-2.

If you want to purchase a universal device for repair work in a domestic environment, which can, if necessary, drill a couple of holes in the walls, then the best choice would be inexpensive impact drill like TRU-770 / 13ER or TRU-670 / 950ER.

If you are looking for a professional construction tool, consider purchasing a powerful drum model with a mixer attachment like the TRU5Z-13 / 950ER.

Finally, if you own a small production facility where you need to make holes in steel, wood or plastic products, you should consider purchasing a professional power tool like the IE-1206-1-16 / 2000ER with a power of 2 kW.
