I have been waiting for this tool for so long and its finally here in Australia any thoughts and opinions on this? Has anyone used this yet? Its either this or the milwaukee fuel range, what do you guys think?
cheers fella’s
What are the bonus bare tools, a grinder, impact driver, and what is the last one? I doubt anyone has used it. It is fairly new.
Wow. I think I just had a “moment”! Only thing missing was the Miss Makita girls standing next to that! That’s a sweet kit but here in the good ole USA, or at least in the North East, Metabo is not readily available at stores. I have heard NOTHING but good about their cordless line but I’ve never used them. I do have the M18 Fuel impactor plus a bunch of M18 tools and absolutely love them. Good luck!
I have never felt the need for 18 volt tools To me they are too bulky/ heavy
Even with Lithium. Of course that is specific to my trade
I am sure plenty of you prefer the extra power
Just curious if you know the inch/pounds of torque
The drill provides?
One of my guys uses a Metabo corded SDS
Hammer drill and loves it. I have not used their cordless products
It gets 796 inch lbs. The new brushed drill gets 973 inch lbs.
Those batteries are huge(ah)!!! Thats awesome.
Thrillhouse you’re going to have a hard time finding anyone thats tried both metabo and milwaukee to compare. Atleast here in the U.S.
@ Nicholas, that bonus tool looks a lot like the impact so I would assume an impact wrench
Oh i see now, it looks like a socket on the end now. The only one who would be if any help would be wayne
Awesome power. My tools ( not impact ) are 390
I would be proud to have that Metabo drill in my collection on red tools 🙂
I’d grab that in a heart beat, especially with the bonus tool.
I can’t speak personally to Metabo’s quality, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything bad at all. Only praises.
