D W Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I've been scouring the internet for months looking for an image or some info. I've finally found something! http://www.rsis.co.uk/power-tools-c149/impact-drivers-and-wrenches-c1221/impact-drivers-c1227/metabo-impact-driver-ssd-18-ltx-200-bl-body-only-in-metaloc-p19785 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 ...and it's finally up on the Metabo website. https://www.metabo.com/uk/en/tools/cordless-tools/cordless-impact-wrench/ssd-18-ltx-200-bl-602396650-cordless-impact-wrench.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 This is now available in Australia. $329 AUD for the bare tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 129mm in length according to this video. I really like Metabos approach with a speed selector wheel. This would be much more intuitive to use than the button approach. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W1pmfcR4HAQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 In my hands now! I am impressed. And I love the selector wheel approach. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 That's awesome @The.Handyman Thanks for the pics/info. There's literally nothing else online other than a Metabo promo vid. Looking forward to seeing how it compares. Such a great looking impact. Great looking battery as well! I'd be all over one if I didn't slightly dislike the Metabo grips (good, but not Dewalt or Makita good). Do you have anything to compare it to? It's $329 here, that's about $50 more than a Makita TD170! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Oh, where's it manufactured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Oh, where's it manufactured? It is made in China, just the same as the Hitachi triple hammer impact.I have a whole slew of impacts for comparison. Most of the top dogs including the phenomenal and current favorite Makita TD171.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 All the ingredients for an epic comparison. It's looks similar to the Hitachi. Same length (129mm), same shape (except the grip), similar air verts, and the same metal ring at the base of the chuck/bit holder. The quality looks great in the photos.

Same base Mechanicals. Not sure if it uses the same motor or not. I'll be opening it up to compared to the triple Hammer I opened up.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how an impact of this size, even with a triple hammer setup, could reach those power numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Must be a typo. I love the slimline 4.0! Still waiting for them and the 8.0 here 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan-paul Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Will the Hitachi 18v slide battery fit this drill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
