Our take on the Metabo HPT 18V Lithium Ion Impact Driver

The Metabo HPT WH18DGL is a compact 18V brushless impact driver built for driving screws and bolts in tight spaces. It delivers 1,280 in-lbs of torque, up to 2,400 RPM and 3,200 impacts per minute, yet measures about 6.5 inches long and weighs roughly 3.1 lbs with a battery. The kit ships with two 1.3 Ah slide-type lithium ion batteries, a built-in LED light and a freestanding battery base. It suits homeowners and trade users who want a light, short driver for cabinet, deck and assembly work; it trades runtime against bigger-battery rivals like the Milwaukee M18 and DeWalt 20V Max lines.

What reviewers say

  • 4.8 / 5139 ratings

Owners rate it highly, praising the compact size, light weight and torque for the money. Complaints center on the small 1.3 Ah batteries running down quickly on big jobs and the lack of a battery gauge.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the short body gets into cabinets and tight framing where longer drivers will not fit.
  • WeightPraisedReviewers like the low weight for overhead and ladder work.
  • TorquePraisedUsers report it drives long screws and lag bolts without bogging down.
  • Battery lifeCriticisedThe 1.3 Ah packs run down quickly during heavy driving, so owners often buy larger batteries.
  • Battery gaugeCriticisedThere is no fuel gauge, so users cannot tell how much charge is left.

About the Metabo HPT 18V Lithium Ion Impact Driver

The 18 Volt Impact Driver WH18DGL is a powerful, yet compact addition to the 18 V lithium ion cordless tool series. Even at about 6.5 inches in length and just 3.1 lbs, this impact driver has the power to drive stubborn screws and bolts, and can do so in tight quarters. With 1280 In./lbs of torque, up to 2400 RPM and 3200 impacts per minute, there are few jobs the WH18DGL can't handle. This tool comes standard with two 1.3 Ah lithium ion slide-type batteries for fade free power and less weight than traditional NiCd batteries. Throw in a built-in LED light, an extremely ergonomic design, and a free standing battery design for sitting upright between uses and you have an impact driver with the power, quality and design that users have come to expect metabolically. Covered by Metabo HP-T's lifetime lithium ion tool warranty.

Questions and answers

Is the WH18DGL brushless?
Yes. It uses a brushless motor, which runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed motors.
What comes in the kit?
The standard kit includes the driver, two 1.3 Ah 18V lithium ion batteries and a charger. Check the specific kit for a case.
Does it use the same batteries as other Metabo HPT 18V tools?
Yes. It takes the slide-type 18V lithium ion packs used across the Metabo HPT 18V line, including larger Ah batteries.
How does it compare with the Milwaukee M18 impact driver?
The Metabo HPT is shorter and lighter but ships with smaller batteries and fewer drive modes. The Milwaukee offers more runtime and mode settings at a higher cost.
Can it drive lag bolts and deck screws?
Yes, within reason. The 1,280 in-lbs of torque handles deck screws and smaller lag bolts, but very large lags may need an impact wrench.
Does it have a belt hook?
Most WH18DGL kits include a belt hook that mounts on either side of the tool.
