Hitachi and Metabo have designed a new Metabo triple hammer impact and supposedly it is not a rebrand Hitachi either. It’s supposed to be better than the Hitachi version. It will be built in Germany and use a Japanese built triple hammer motor.
Gross
Whattt! I can’t wait to see it.
A brushless full sized recip saw would be great.

I think the Multivolt (36v) Hitachi version will still beat it.

It is also brushless, 12 speed via a dial, plus a mode similar to Makita tek mode.

Don’t like the idea of Hitachi flavored Metabo told. Mostly I just miss my Metabo tools.
Metabo 36V OPE with X2 LiHD would be great. I wonder if they have future plans for this.
There’s something appealing about Metabo green OPE. I nearly bought the 18V hedge trimmer.
Yea the Metabo impact driver was old its due for an update

Completely agree Metabo are slow to upgrade their impact drivers for some reason.
What Metabo is to drills Makita is to impacts. Metabo seems to regularly update their drills just like Makita seems to regularly update their impacts. The top of the line Makita, although good, is pretty old just like the Metabo Impact is old.
I wonder how the triple hammer Metabo will compare to the Hitachi.
Would be cool if hitachi and metabo shared a battery platform.

I would second this. I would be an advocate for any brand of battery fits any brand of tool.
