FEIN KBE 32 QW Magnetic Core Drill 1200 W with Case

Drilling large, precise holes in steel beams or plates on-site often means wrestling with heavy, unstable equipment that compromises accuracy and safety. The FEIN KBE 32 QW magnetic core drill eliminates that struggle by combining a powerful 1200 W motor, a 10,000 N magnetic base, and a compact single-gear design in one portable package. Whether you're fabricating steel structures, installing railings, or performing maintenance on heavy machinery, this tool delivers clean, chatter-free bores up to 32 mm in diameter without the need for a drill press.

Who is it for

Professional metalworkers, steel erectors, pipe fitters, and maintenance teams who need reliable, on-site drilling in ferrous materials. It's ideal for workshops and job sites where mobility, precision, and safety are paramount. If you regularly drill thick steel sections and demand consistent results, this core drill is built for you.
