Of all the brands it looks like Metabo might have the biggest range of cordless drills.
18V subcompacts, compacts, full size, tapper, 3 speed, sds, 36V sds…with some of these offered in both brushed and brushless, quick and non-quick, hammer and non-hammer etc.
Which drills do you own?
I have just one so far:
BS 18 Quick subcompact
Shoot don’t remember which one I owned but it was like BS 18 impuls something idk. Best cordless drill I’ve ever used by a long shot and it was tiny.
I’ve reviewed (and had in comparisons) 4 Metabo drills. I like them. They don’t need babying, very tough tools.
Having said that, they excel most in steel, which I don’t use much. They seem to be middle of the pack for raw torque / timber or masonry drilling.
@dwain have you tried Metabo’s new monster? or is it even out yet? The drill is supposed to have something like 1200 in/lbs of torque. Not sure what it is in Nm
No I haven’t Jronman. It will be interesting to see if that’s true.
My first hammer drill comparison had an 90 Nm Metabo that was almost the equal of the 120 Nm Makita. The second one had a 120 Nm Metabo that was hardly (if at all) more powerful.
It will be interesting to see if this 1200 in.lbs is the real deal!
Did I see Metabo has a heavy duty cordless right angle drill that is not like a Milwaukee hawg/super hawg but more like the Milwaukee corded right angle drill that has been around for years.
