I feel experienced enough with Metabo now to know that they are a working man’s tool. Â They provide power and comfort for the user and the air cooled charging system means less downtime. Â Add the new 4.0 Ah battery and you have longer runtimes which means more productivity. Â You wont find any gimmicky features on this saw it is built to be abused and work when needed. Â The 7.9lb saw puts out 0-2700 SPM with a 1 1/16th stroke length.
The blade can be inserted normally or rotated 180 degrees. Â A lever on the side allows for a tool less blade change. Â The shoe is adjustable, however not tool less, Â there is a hex wrench that fits into the handle to loosen the screw. Â I would like to have seen this tool free as it saves time. Â The tool feels solid in your hand and has an over molded rubber grip at the front. Â With gloves it is very easy to hold and control. Â It absorbed most of the vibration and the overall feel was that of quality.
The power of this saw allows it to plunge cut like you are going through butter. Â For heavy duty work this saw really excels. Â With a metal blade the saw slices through metal faster than any other cordless reciprocating saw I have used. Â It has Metabo’s 3 year warranty and comes in kit and bare tool versions. Â Metabo has become one of my tools of choice for most jobs. Â The battery packs charge in about 30 minutes and have a fuel status gauge on the pack itself. Â The air cooled charging technology is awesome. Â You can put a hot battery pack on the charger and it will start cooing it as it charges. Â 30 minutes or so later you have a fully charged and cool battery ready to work. Â If your tools pay your salary, you can trust Metabo!
i really like how you guys are starting to review more of the big boys! keep em coming! hilti, festool, metabo… love it!
To be honest I have never heard of Metabo or have every seen one on a job site but it sounds like a pretty nice tool. Where do you even buy this brand besides the internet?
My local welding supply store carries the grinders
I need to save up and buy one of these 🙂
