The Metabo BS 18 LT BL is an 18V brushless drill/driver sold as a bare tool, so it runs on Metabo's 18V LiHD batteries and chargers you already own. Its brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed motors, and at about 2.6 lb it is one of the lighter 18V drills in its class. It has a keyless chuck, two-speed gearbox, LED work light, and a belt hook and bit holder that mount on either side. It suits homeowners and trades who want a compact, quiet drill for driving and light drilling, but it has no hammer or impact function, so masonry and heavy lag bolts need a different tool.

Owners of Metabo's 18V brushless drills praise the light, compact body and smooth, quiet brushless motor, and many say it outlasts brushed drills in daily use. The main complaints are that it is sold bare and that it lacks hammer or impact modes.
The Metabo® BS 18 LT BL Cordless Drill/Screwdriver uses brushless motor technology, which minimizes friction within the motor and reduces heat buildup. This means the Metabo brushless drill/driver can run for longer even when it is running at maximum power, increasing your productivity and extending the tool’s life. Because the Metabo drill/driver is cordless, you aren’t tied to a power socket. Its compact size and light weight make it comfortable to use even during extended work periods. Carrying it around job sites is easy thanks to a belt hook and a bit holder, which can be used on either your left or right side. An integrated light illuminates the work area which means increased precision even in low-light working conditions.
