This is one of the latest improved models of the firm's screwdrivers METABO - a powerful tool for drilling a variety of materials and loosening and twisting even tight fitting fasteners.
The kit, in addition to the screwdriver itself, includes two 18-volt batteries Li-Power Extreme, charger, side handle, belt hook and bit holder, keyless chuck, quick-change bit holder. All of this is packed in a sturdy plastic case. Tool weight - about 2 kg.
METABO BS 18 LTX Quick new 5.2 Is a professional model of a drill driver. It is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a record 5.2 Ah capacity. The batteries are equipped with power indicators to monitor the degree of contamination of the battery. The tool has a special control technology Ultra-M Is a multifunctional monitoring system for the protection of the screwdriver and the battery pack.
The gearbox is made of cast aluminum and has good heat dissipation. The brushless 4-pole motor is highly efficient for maximum efficiency. The drill can be used to drill holes in wood up to 50 mm in diameter, in metal - up to 13 mm.
The model has two speeds of 500 and 1700 rpm. The speed is switched from the top of the body. The tool is equipped with a stepless speed control. For more difficult tasks, a pulse mode is provided. In this mode, the spindle rotates with slight jerks and makes it possible to unscrew even deeply seated screws.
Another plus is the solid torque - up to 96 Nm. An 11-step electronic clutch provides precise tuning. The METABO Quick system allows for quick accessory changes - just turn the ring, pull and you're done! The spindle is equipped with an internal hexagon for convenient fastening of the bit. It is very comfortable.
The tool is equipped with very practical functional parts. It has a fairly bright built-in backlight that illuminates the work area well. It will help carry out work in poorly lit areas. The set includes a belt hook and a compartment for attachments. You can clip it to the instrument, either on the right or on the left.
My review - I'm satisfied. The tool is compact and powerful, the cartridge is removable, which makes it even more compact. It fits nicely in the hand, the body material is good. The batteries charge quickly. It seems that nothing is backlash. I tried a lot of screwdrivers. This one is out of competition in terms of aggregate: weight, power, convenience.
