Desde hace casi dos años, mis 7 hernias fiscales lo han agradecido!
Parkside Performance PSBSAP 20-Li
Este modelo es un taladro percutor atornillador de 20V que destaca por encima del resto de la gama verde y de muchos otros modelos negros.
Torque máximo: 150 Nm (Newton-metro).
Motor: Brushless (sin escobillas), lo que le da mayor vida útil y potencia.
Características clave: Incluye una empuñadura adicional (muy necesaria, porque con 150 Nm te puede dar un tirón fuerte en la muñeca si se bloquea la broca) y una caja de cambios de 2 velocidades.
