The Metabo BS 18 LTX-3 BL I Metal is an 18 V cordless drill/driver for drilling in metal and for construction and installation work. It has a brushless motor and a 3-speed gearbox with speeds up to 4,000 RPM. Hard torque is up to 1150.6 in-lbs.
The chuck has a re-tightening function to hold bits firmly and keep them running true under high load. Impulse mode helps remove damaged screws and spot-drill on smooth surfaces. Precision Stop electronic torque control is used for accurate fastening.
The gear housing is die-cast aluminum. Safety features include electronic kickback protection, overload protection that prevents the motor from overheating, and quick stop. An LED work light with afterglow function lights the work area. The drill accepts batteries from the CAS 18V platform and comes with a metaBOX storage case, a belt hook and a bit case.
