Hikoki Electric Drill Machine PU-PM3 – 16 mm (5/8″), 670 W Corded Drill

The Hikoki Electric Drill Machine PU-PM3 is a robust corded drill designed for heavy-duty drilling jobs in metal, wood, and other materials. With a powerful 670 W motor and a large 16 mm chuck capacity, this tool is built for demanding workshop, maintenance, and fabrication tasks where strength and reliability are essential.

Key Features

High-Power Drilling Capability

• The drill is driven by a 670 W motor, giving it the muscle needed to drill sizeable holes in tougher materials such as steel and hardwood.

Wide Chuck Capacity

• Equipped with a 3.2 – 16 mm (1/8 – 5/8″) chuck, it accepts a broad range of drill bit sizes suitable for many jobs.

Impressive Material Capacity

• Can drill up to 16 mm (5/8″) in steel and up to 36 mm (1-3/8″) in wood — ideal for structural and heavy-duty applications.

Controlled Operation

• The drill’s design helps deliver stable, controlled performance during use, while its handle profile provides solid grip and control over the tool.

Standard Accessories Included

• Comes with a chuck wrench and stopper, allowing you to secure bits and set drilling depth with ease.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are based on manufacturer published data and may vary slightly by region or specific variant.

Performance & Practical Use

The Hikoki PU-PM3 is engineered for users who need strong drilling power in tougher applications than typical light-duty drills can handle. Its 670 W motor and wide chuck capacity make it effective for drilling large holes in steel beams, structural wood, and thick plastics. The relatively low rpm of 750 rpm helps when using larger diameter bits, providing stable rotation and reducing chatter during cutting.

This drill is ideal for workshop and maintenance environments where reliability and brute force matter, and it handles repetition and heavier workloads with ease compared to smaller consumer models.

Best Suited For:

✔ Heavy-duty steel drilling (up to 16 mm)
✔ Large wood drill holes (up to 36 mm)
✔ Workshop and fabrication tasks
✔ Maintenance and structural drilling jobs

User Tips

Safety First: Always wear eye protection and hearing protection when operating a power drill — chips and debris can be thrown during drilling.

Secure the Workpiece: Clamp materials down securely to reduce vibration and improve hole accuracy.

Bit Choice: Select drill bits rated for the job material (e.g., metal bits for steel, wood bits for wood) to achieve cleaner holes and longer bit life.

Slow Speed for Larger Holes: Using slower speeds with larger diameter bits helps maintain control and reduces stress on the drill and bit.
