JimboS1ice Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Good engineered stuff, quality tools but a hefty price tag too. Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Glassey Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Typical German engineering. Most of its tools are made in Germany some in China. Limited lineup and limited availability. But overall quality tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[emoji41] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Im gonna get flak for this but.... Great tools on thesame standard as Bosch/Makita/dewalt. Keep in mind im from Europe. Metabo is nothing special here. You Find metabo in alot of stores ( although in belgium it doesnt dell that good. It does in Holland tho ) . Its also in completly thesame price category als dewalt/Bosch/Makita here. Here in belgium the metabo after sales service sucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 They do make the best grinders ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 i think their cordless drills and grinders are best-in-class. their compact impact wrench probably is too. everybody loves their grinders (as mentioned). My (fairly uneducated) opinion is that they are a small step above the usual suspects (bosch, dewalt, makita, milwaukee etc) in terms of quality. Not necessarily in every tool though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz2084 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hey @dwain have you heard about their new 18v brushless compact and full size drills? ps when will the makita bl recip video drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 They have a new brushless top model. 2050 rpms. 120 hard torque. 60 soft torque. 2.4 kilo. Havent held it yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've own Makita, Bosch and Metabo and have used Milwaukee and Dewalt. I love the Metabo! From what I've seen they're quality is better than the brands above and the price is totally worth it. I can't speak for their longevity at this point but I would have to imagine it will be pretty good as well Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent held it yet though Metabo don't count the weight of the removable quick chuck do they as they list the old brushless as 2kg? Have you seen the compact model 2100/600 rpm 60/34 nm hard/soft torque 1.5kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Metabo has some great stuff. Really want their brushless cordless grinder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glassey Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Metabo is on my list of next tool purchase. I too would want to get their grinder and try out their impact wrench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm really interested in the line myself but don't see spending any cash On them yet. I really like the compact 18v tools they have and their batteries are supposed to be the bees knees but that'll mean selling off my Bosch 18v tools and I just like them too much and introducing another battery line and having another drill is just not my speed yet. The sanders though, like routers, you can never have too many! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Metabo is on my list of next tool purchase. I too would want to get their grinder and try out their impact wrench. Which impact are you looking at, the LTX 400 or 600? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well grab the Metabo now! [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Kruton, I was looking at the SSW18LTX600BL just the price is stoping me from getting right now. I was hoping to get it as a bare tool but I would like to get the grinder kit with the batteries. Everyone that owns this impact, raves about it.

I like the size of the 400, but the 600 looks nice. I may have to sweet talk the wife and this can be my early birthday present!

John Glassey Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Yes I agree the 400 is nice, but the 600 will compete me! Lol. Now I need the WP 18 LTX 125 QUICK (613072500) CORDLESS ANGLE grinder first. Oh ya the funds too haha.

ChrisK Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Same here Kruton. Nary a Metabo to be seen in NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspeed Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Metabo is a great brand. They are hard to find in stores but they are very good tools. I love the pulse action on the drill they have and there impact wrench is in my opinion the best on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
