I have recently been doing some repair work on a house where the cellar got flooded.
I uncovered a Dewalt 14v drill that was soaked through and had been for years as this area had been untouched for some time.
I dried it out slowly and was amazed when both batteries took a charge and other than the chuck being solid and will not loosen,the drill works fine.

Everyone makes a big thing out of power from a battery drill.
By now any regular readers know I am a fan of Metabo's 4 pole 18v line, and that Metabo do not make a brushless version.
However the 18v LTX has well over 800 lb-ft of torque which is well above any brushless drill.
It is great that Makita are beefing up and strengthening the 18v drill they produce.
My only concern is the Makita battery which has a very very bad reputation over here in the U.K on the job site.
And I have seen a few smoke when under load because of protection issues.
I am not a Makita hater in any way,I just hope this drill has addressed these issues and that we hear good feed back from users.

That is the downfall of Metabo.They make fantastic tools but the sales and marketing is useless.

I rent my tools out all the time.They come with me holding onto them

I think it covers everything spot on. Well done on a great and honest review.

Well I can honestly say the 18v Metabo gear has been flawless and in my opinion it is the best I have ever used in over 33 years which I don't say lightly.
My gripe with them has been they are not easy to get hold of.
-
I let that go as the picture shows the right kit, but being over in the U.K the other Moderators are better placed to know stockists in the U.S.A.
-
I would advise to e-mail and make sure U.S.A voltage is available for the charger.
The guys at toolstop are great folks and if they don't do the kit you want I am sure they will try and point you in the right direction.

It depends which batteries and how many there are.
Make sure you get the power extreme batteries 3ah or 4ah.
Also that all the tools are LTX as there are lower spec models and some crafty sellers will only have 1 top spec tool in there.
And the last one is just to point out that the drill in that kit is only a drill driver and does not have the hammer function.
I recomend investing in the LTX impact driver though it is brilliant although its 12v max little brother is more than powerful enough for anything up to 3 inch wood screws with no problem.
These are my personal fave tools and the ones I use and have been just fantastic.

Go to www.metabo.us and you can enter your zip code for the nearest stockists.
Also give toolstop.co.uk a try but just be sure to make it clear you are in the U.S.A so you get the right voltage.
-
If you go on the Metabo web site,there should be a list.
If not just drop them an e-mail meanwhile I will have a look for you.

2nd most powerful 18v drill on the market lol don't forget my fave the Metabo LTX which kicks both up the backside but is not brushless.

Thanks to our friends at toolstop.co.uk for this information.

We are speaking about the kind that send spam e-mail and try to get free advertisements.It is not a racist remark against Chinese people it also applies to spammers from several other countries.

I'm sure they already make a 4v lithium ion screwdriver because I have seen one advertised over here.
-
No But this winter they should be on the market with the new 4ah batteries.
-
-
Looking at the English used by the writer of the topic this is from China.
I will be keeping an eye on them because next minute an advertisement sneaks in and we end up banning them.
