Pistol Grip Drill Metabo SBEV 1000-2, 2800 RPM, 2.7 kg

The Metabo SBEV 1000-2 is a pistol grip drill designed for general-purpose drilling tasks in construction, renovation and workshop environments. Featuring a keyless chuck and a compact, ergonomic housing, this corded AC drill delivers a maximum idle speed of 2800 RPM and a rated input power of 1010 W with an output power of 540 W. It drills up to 40 mm in wood and up to 16 mm in steel while weighing 2.7 kg, making it suitable for extended use where control and steady torque are required. The tool’s exterior combines green, black and silver finishes and integrates a two-gear gearbox to balance speed and torque for a range of materials.

Advantages

The keyless chuck allows quick bit changes without additional tools, improving workflow efficiency on job sites. With two gears and a high maximum idle speed of 2800 RPM, the drill offers a flexible balance between speed and torque for drilling in different materials. Its 1010 W input power and focused 540 W output provide reliable drilling performance, while the 2.7 kg weight and pistol grip design support comfortable handling and better control during vertical and overhead work. The ability to drill up to 40 mm in wood and 16 mm in steel covers most common drilling requirements for both tradespeople and hobbyists.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wooden structures and furniture up to 40 mm diameter
• Drilling through steel and metal components up to 16 mm diameter
• General workshop and construction drilling tasks requiring sustained power
• Applications where quick bit changes are needed thanks to the keyless chuck

How to use

Connect the Metabo SBEV 1000-2 to a suitable mains supply before operation. Select the appropriate drill bit for the material and insert it into the keyless chuck, ensuring it is seated and tightened securely by hand. Choose the appropriate gear for the required speed or torque — lower gear for higher torque when drilling into metal or larger diameters, higher gear for faster drilling in wood. Position the drill perpendicular to the work surface, apply steady pressure and start at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed up to the rated maximum as needed. Maintain control with both hands where possible and allow the motor to cool during extended continuous operation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drill bit type and size to the material and pre-drill pilot holes for large diameters in wood and metal. For prolonged or heavy-duty work, allow intermittent cooling periods to preserve motor life and performance.
