METABO HPT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about METABO HPT from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Metabo HPT and Metabo?
Metabo HPT is the North American brand for tools manufactured by Koki Holdings, formerly Hitachi Power Tools. Metabo is a separate German brand also owned by Koki Holdings. The two brands have distinct product lines, though they share the Metabo Cordless Alliance System (CAS) for battery compatibility. Metabo HPT tools are typically sold in North America, while Metabo tools are sold in Europe and other regions. 3G Electric supplies Metabo HPT products globally, including pneumatic nailers, vacuums, and MultiVolt batteries.
What is the Metabo HPT MultiVolt battery system?
The Metabo HPT MultiVolt system uses batteries that can power both 18V and 36V tools. A single battery pack, such as the 4 Ah/8 Ah model 382333M, delivers 18V when used in an 18V tool and 36V when used in a 36V tool. This is achieved through internal cell switching. The batteries are part of the Metabo CAS platform, meaning they can be used in tools from other CAS-participating brands. 3G Electric stocks MultiVolt batteries in capacities from 2 Ah to 8 Ah at 18V, and 2.5 Ah to 4 Ah at 36V.
What are the specifications of the Metabo HPT NP35AM pin nailer?
The Metabo HPT NP35AM is an air-powered pin nailer that drives straight, glue-coated pins in strip collation. It features sequential operation, a 1/4 in NPT air inlet, and a no-mar tip. The tool includes a dual trigger for safe and accurate fastener placement, a large-capacity magazine for fewer reloads, and comes with two no-mar tips, a 1/4 in NPT male plug, safety glasses, a carrying case, and a hex bar wrench. It is suitable for finish carpentry, cabinetmaking, and light assembly. 3G Electric supplies the NP35AM and related accessories.
What is the capacity of the Metabo HPT ASR 35 ACP HEPA vacuum?
The Metabo HPT ASR 35 ACP HEPA vacuum has a 9-gallon plastic tank for wet and dry pickup. It includes an 11 ft hose with a 1-1/2 in diameter. The vacuum is corded and designed for collecting dry debris and liquid spills in industrial environments. The HEPA filtration captures fine particles. 3G Electric carries this model and can provide replacement filters and accessories. For specific filtration efficiency ratings, consult the manufacturer's documentation.
Are Metabo HPT batteries compatible with other brands?
Metabo HPT MultiVolt batteries are part of the Metabo Cordless Alliance System (CAS). This means they can be used in tools from other brands that participate in CAS, such as Metabo, Mafell, and others. However, compatibility is limited to CAS-participating brands and specific voltage classes. Always verify that the battery model and tool are listed as compatible. 3G Electric supplies genuine Metabo HPT CAS batteries, including the 2 Ah, 4 Ah, 5 Ah, and 8 Ah models.
What should I consider when replacing Metabo HPT batteries?
When replacing Metabo HPT batteries, match the voltage and capacity to the tool's requirements. MultiVolt batteries can be used in both 18V and 36V tools, but older tools may only accept specific battery models. Check the part number and terminal type: Metabo HPT batteries use tabbed cells for secure connections. Capacity affects runtime; higher Ah provides longer runtime but adds weight. 3G Electric stocks a range of Metabo HPT batteries, including the 382310M (2 Ah), 382332M (4 Ah), 382311M (2 Ah), 382309M (5 Ah), and 382333M (4 Ah/8 Ah).
