The Metabo HPT SB 18 LTX-3 BL Q I METAL is a brushless, 3-speed cordless hammer drill. It runs on an 18 V LiHD battery system and is built for demanding metal applications. The third speed setting has high torque, with a maximum of 4,000 rpm, for faster drilling progress in metal. A hammer drill function is included for drilling in masonry.
The chuck re-tensions to keep the bit from slipping and has a high degree of concentricity. The Metabo QuickPlus system allows quick changes of the bit retainer and bits. An optional "impuls" mode helps remove stubborn screws and spot-drill on smooth surfaces. Precision Stop electronic torque control allows precise, delicate work.
Overload protection guards the motor against overheating. An electronic safety shutdown prevents kickback if the drill bit stops unexpectedly. An integrated LED work light has a night light function. The drill has a belt hook and a bit case that can be fixed on either the right or left side. It can be used with all 18 V battery packs and chargers of the CAS (Cordless Alliance System) brands.
