The domestic market of building power tools and equipment is full of foreign products. Some segments do without offers from Russian companies. Nevertheless, the situation has been changing in recent years. The Zubr company not only successfully competes with foreign enterprises in terms of tool quality, but also offers more affordable options. Part of the increase in the technical and operational parameters of the products is also facilitated by close cooperation with French specialists, which make it possible to conduct laboratory testing of equipment in accordance with advanced standards. Along with this, the range of directions in which the Bison tools can be used is expanding. Reviews in this regard note the versatility of some models, and multifunctionality, which is achieved without loss of quality.
General information about the Zubr power tool
To date, Zubr power tools are produced in different categories, differing in functional support, design features, and price level. Depending on the needs, the user can choose the appropriate option for almost any task that is implemented as part of the construction and repair process. We can also note the active use of the latest technologies that are endowed with Zubr electric tools. Reviews of experienced masters note the competent use by specialists of the company of ergonomic additions, and improvements that relate to security systems. There is a division of the instrument into professional and household. The first group gets a more productive power filling, and the second focuses on ease of use and versatility.
Main characteristics
The company offers models of power tools designed to handle all common building materials. Depending on the version, jigsaws, punchers, screwdrivers, drills and saws can serve such materials as concrete, metal, plastic, wood, etc. Thanks to the use of diamond nozzles, natural stone lends itself to tools. To perform such complex operations allow engines with high power - about 2000 watts. For cutting thin metal and wood, devices are designed whose power potential is 1000-1500 watts. As for the processing parameters, for example, the average drilling diameter varies from 10 to 20 mm. It is also allowed to use large-format crowns with a thickness of more than 100 mm, which are equipped with professional Bison tools. Reviews of ergonomic advantages, by the way, emphasize the optimized mass of most manual models. As a rule, it is 3-5 kg, which makes it possible to use the device for a long time without hitches. This is especially true for lightweight network versions, and heavier tools weighing up to 10 kg can be supplemented with an auxiliary handle for convenience.
Intended classification
The assortment can be divided into several groups depending on the scope. In particular, one can directly distinguish a processing tool, which includes angle grinders, rotary hammers with screwdrivers, staplers, circular saws, chippers, etc. This group is used to form holes, grooves, ditches and openings. Moreover, a full-fledged building structure and a separate workpiece can act as a basis. There is also a category of industrial power tools, which include pneumatic devices. They are usually used in technological processes associated with painting and cleaning with abrasives. Universal kits are also common. Here we can note the multitasking bison tool kit βBisonβ. Reviews on this product emphasize the high quality of materials. Typically, such kits come with several small-format cutters, nozzles and mills, which can later be used for a variety of operations from drilling to cutting.
Energy Classification
The fashion for cordless models of tools did not bypass the Bison assortment. The company mainly offers two options for such power systems - lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium. The advantage due to operational advantages is given to the batteries of the first type, since they are more compact, hold the charge longer and charge quickly. An example of such a design is a drill in the modification ZDA-18. It also confirms that battery power can provide fairly high power. The Zubr network tools represent a traditional and still wider range in terms of energy supply source. Reviews of such models mainly indicate two advantages - non-stop workflow and compactness. This is a light and easy-to-use tool, which, however, also has a significant flaw when compared with battery analogues. By definition, the power tool is dependent on the outlet, which limits the user in movement.
Toolkit Reviews
The company offers several sets with tools, and for the most part with nozzles and accessories that are designed for locksmith, carpentry and trimming. Among the most successful kits, the Zubr 27635 H94 tool kit stands out. The reviews of the masters, whose activities are related to the maintenance of threaded connections, indicate the strength and durability of the components. This is explained by the fact that the basis of the material for heads and fasteners is chromium-vanadium stainless steel. Many users talk about the usability of the tool. In particular, they emphasize the ease of handling of the FLANK profile, which simplifies the packing process. Already during operation, reliable fixation also eliminates the risk of disruption of faces.
Reviews on drills and screwdrivers
This is one of the most popular segments not only within the Bison family, but also in general in the market. Therefore, in conditions of fierce competition, the manufacturer seeks to offer special combinations of performance. Most successfully, this problem is solved in the elementary class. For example, the combined drill-screwdriver ZSSh-300-2 for only 2 thousand rubles. Demonstrates good working qualities and ergonomics. From the point of view of domestic use, this is the optimal Bison hand tool. Reviews characterize it as lightweight, compact and at the same time powerful. Although the power potential of 300 W, of course, allows you to cope only with typical tasks only within the household. As for the minuses, switching between the drilling / twisting modes is too easy.
Pneumatic Tool Reviews
This group is not so widely represented by domestic developers, and yet users of compressor spray guns can pay attention to the very successful model KPE-650. The owners of this tool indicate versatility, lightness and ergonomics. This is a simple apparatus in its design, with which you can perform spraying of varnishes and paints of medium viscosity. And again, structural optimization, which distinguishes many of the Bison tools, can be traced. Reviews indicate that the minimalism of the spray gun was offset by the possibility of using additional accessories. So, the owner can use nozzles of different diameters and increase the capacity with paint, which increases the productivity and functional flexibility of the tool.
Circular Saw Reviews
The company is mainly engaged in saws for domestic use, which can be used for cutting in longitudinal and transverse sections. Perhaps the most serious in terms of performance and the most striking representative of this group is the modification of ZPDE-235. Users of this saw respond positively to its working qualities and ergonomics. As for the first, the power potential is enough for full-fledged work with boards designed for building a house. Practice shows that the model even copes with the transverse cutting of raw solid wood. By the way, for additional processing operations with lumber, it is worthwhile to look at the less powerful Correction tool βBisonβ - a milling cutter, the reviews of the owners of which emphasize the accuracy and accuracy of cutting, in particular, it will help to adjust the workpiece to the required parameters. And with the help of jigsaws of this company, many users also form decorative products by curvilinear cutting.
Car Tools Reviews
For the Zubr company, a car tool is not targeted, but you can also find interesting offers in this niche. Particularly noteworthy are kits with compressor equipment. Kit 06458-H5, in particular, is highly praised by workshop workers for the quality of the materials. Since compressors are very demanding on consumables, having a kit with durable nylon hoses, nozzles and nozzles will not be superfluous. For locksmithing work, both in the workshop and in the garage, the Zubr 27670 H58 tool kit is suitable. Reviews of this kit also emphasize the durability and overall high resource elements. A set of 58 components is formed by wrenches, pliers, bits and screwdrivers.
Reviews about accessories and consumables
In construction and repair work, regardless of orientation, consumables or accessories are almost always required. Needs additional material with accessories and email. tool "Bison". Reviews of nozzles, adapters, cartridges, hardware and various mixtures of this brand as a whole receive positive reviews. This is partly due to the versatility and basic quality of consumables, but the low price tag also matters.
Conclusion
Despite the significant advantages due to which Russian products can compete in the market with giants such as Metabo, Bosch and Hitachi, there are still some weaknesses. Technological development and structural flexibility are the main and also significant characteristics, according to which the Zubr company is still inferior to eminent competitors. Tools, reviews of which emphasize the functionality and versatility of use, together with this may have insufficient power and a lagging adjustment option. For example, a comfortable screwdriver may not have the ability to adjust the speed and smooth start. But similar flaws are logical in their own way, since the manufacturer focuses more on the middle and initial segments, only pointwise invading the premium class.
