The Metabo SB 18 LTX-3 BL I Metal is a powerful three-speed cordless combi drill designed for demanding metalworking applications. It delivers maximum torque of 65 Nm in soft applications and 130 Nm in hard applications, with adjustable torque from 1 to 18 Nm for controlled fastening. Its powerful chuck automatically re-tightens to counter bit slippage and provides a high degree of concentricity. Meanwhile, three no-load speed ranges of 0–450, 0–2,000 and 0–4,000 rpm extend the application range and enable fast drilling progress, particularly in metal. The drill handles diameters of up to 16 mm in steel and 68 mm in softwood, while its hammer function delivers up to 38,000 impacts per minute for drilling in masonry up to 16 mm. The Metabo QuickPlus System enables quick changes between the chuck, bit holder, angle adapter and other compatible attachments for flexible, heavy-duty working. In addition, selectable impuls mode helps remove stubborn or damaged screws and supports spot-drilling on smooth surfaces. The efficient brushless motor provides long battery pack runtime, while Precision Stop electronic torque control supports accurate, delicate work. A robust die-cast aluminium gear housing provides durability, and the magnetic hexagonal spindle recess allows screwdriving without the chuck. Electronic safety shutdown prevents kickback if the drill bit stops unexpectedly, while overload protection protects the motor from overheating. Furthermore, the 43 mm Euro collar supports versatile use, the LED work light with afterglow illuminates the work area, and the belt hook and bit case can mount on either side. This kit includes two 18 V 5.5 Ah LiHD battery packs, an ASC 145 AIR COOLED quick charger and a metaBOX 145 L for transport and storage.
Compatible with all 18 V battery packs and chargers from participating Cordless Alliance System (CAS) brands within the same voltage class. The Metabo QuickPlus System supports quick changes between compatible chucks, bit holders, angle adapters and other attachments. The spindle’s magnetic hexagonal recess also accepts screwdriver bits for use without the chuck.
