The Einhell TC-BD 450 is a corded 450W bench drill press, fifth in this guide. The Amazon listing puts it at £123.75 with a 4.3 rating from 384 reviews, a 2650rpm top speed across five speeds, and a 13.6kg bench footprint of 42cm by 21.8cm. It is sold as a bench drill for a DIY workshop, with a three-armed rubberised handle, an infinitely adjustable drilling table and a table that rotates up to 90° and tilts up to 45°.

The numbers on the listing are where it gets interesting, and not in a good way. The spec table gives a maximum chuck size of 50mm, a drilling capacity of 50mm in wood and 50mm in metal — the same 50mm three times — while one bullet calls 50mm the maximum drilling depth, not the chuck size or the capacity. That same table lists the motor as 450 Amps where a 450W motor on 220 Volts draws roughly 2A. And one bullet describes a brushless motor on a "grass cutter machine" with large lawn-friendly wheels, which is not a bench drill. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it appears; we haven't tested the tool.
