Frequently asked questions
Common questions about METABO from 3G Electric.
What is the voltage and battery system used by Metabo cordless tools like the SB 18 LTX-3 BL Q I?
Metabo cordless tools in the LTX class operate on 18V DC lithium-ion batteries. The SB 18 LTX-3 BL Q I hammer drill uses the 18V platform and is compatible with Metabo LiHD and Li-Power slide-on battery packs. These batteries are also part of the Cordless Alliance System (CAS), allowing use across participating brands. The tool is available as a bare unit, so batteries and chargers are purchased separately. Metabo offers batteries in capacities such as 5.5 Ah with LiHD technology, which uses tabbed cell construction for high current delivery. Chargers like the ASC 55 support 12V, 18V, and 36V batteries, providing flexibility across the range.
What are the specifications of the Metabo BSA 18 LED 4000 jobsite light?
The Metabo BSA 18 LED 4000 is a cordless jobsite light powered by 18V DC. It delivers up to 4,000 lumens with a 270-degree light distribution pattern. The maximum height is 11 inches. It is supplied as a tool-only unit, requiring a compatible 18V battery. The light is designed for illuminating construction, maintenance, and industrial work areas. It does not include a battery or charger. For extended runtime, Metabo LiHD batteries with higher capacities can be used. The light is part of the Metabo 18V cordless system, sharing batteries with other tools in the range.
What is the oscillation angle of the Metabo MT 18 LTX BL QSL oscillating tool?
The Metabo MT 18 LTX BL QSL cordless oscillating tool has a 1.6-degree oscillation angle. It operates on 18V DC with a brushless motor and is compatible with the LiHD battery system. The tool is supplied as a bare unit, without battery or charger. It is compatible with 2.0 Ah and 4.0 Ah batteries. The brushless motor design reduces maintenance and improves runtime compared to brushed motors. The tool is used for cutting, sanding, scraping, and grinding in renovation and maintenance applications. Accessories are available separately for different materials and tasks.
What Metabo dust shrouds are available for angle grinders?
Metabo offers dust extraction shrouds and filters for angle grinders. The convertible shroud (MPN 655153000) is designed for the W 850-125 model. The cutting extraction hood (MPN 626731000) is for the WEQ 1400 model. A dust protection filter (MPN 630835000) is compatible with model 60NK69. These accessories capture dust and debris during grinding and cutting, helping to reduce airborne particulates. They are used in construction, metal fabrication, and maintenance tasks where dust control is required. Compatibility should be verified with the specific grinder model before ordering.
What charger is compatible with Metabo 18V LiHD batteries?
The Metabo ASC 55 battery charger is a single-port charger for 12V, 18V, and 36V batteries. It operates on 110-120V AC input and can charge a 1.5 Ah battery in one hour. It is compatible with all Metabo Li-Ion and LiHD slide-on battery packs from 12V to 36V. The charger features monitored charging and is suitable for recharging batteries used in cordless power tool applications. It is not a multi-port charger, so only one battery can be charged at a time. For higher capacity batteries, charge times will be longer than one hour.
What is the concrete drilling capacity of the Metabo SB 18 LTX-3 BL Q I hammer drill?
The Metabo SB 18 LTX-3 BL Q I cordless hammer drill has a 5/8-inch concrete capacity. It features a 1/2-inch chuck and a three-speed gearbox, allowing drilling into concrete, masonry, wood, and metal, as well as driving fasteners. The tool operates on 18V DC and is supplied as a bare unit with a side handle. The three-speed gearbox provides flexibility for different materials and applications. The brushless motor and electronic safety clutch are typical of Metabo's premium cordless tools. For optimal performance in concrete, use appropriate carbide-tipped drill bits.
