The German-made Metabo BS 18 LTX-3 BL Q I METAL 5.5 Kit MB 18V Brushless Cordless 3-Speed Drill/Driver excels in all drill-driving applications, but uniquely incorporates an additional 3rd gear specifically for high-speed drilling in metal. This specific model includes the “Best in Class” Rohm Supra SK drill chuck with the highest clamping force on the market. Moreover, operator safety is greatly enhanced by Anti-Kickback functionality that utilizes on-board gyroscopic sensors to cut-out power upon bit lock-up. Bits are easily loaded into the re-engineered quick-change tool-free chuck with 100% more bearing reinforcement for even stronger drilling performance, while still retaining the ¼” hex magnetic bit holder in the spindle for driving screws. Greater functionality is achieved with the convenient torque-selection wheel that dials into 12 individual settings for precision operation, including “Impulse” mode to help initially set bits and screws. Performance is further improved with Metabo's 2nd generation long-life brushless motor mounted in a re-designed tool housing to increase airflow and reduce overheating. Handling and durability have been further optimized with the ergonomic rubberized slimline handle coupled with a more-responsive trigger mechanism. The integrated LED work lights illuminate the work area for ease of operation in dark spaces. The package includes (2) 5.5 Ah LiHD battery packs, ASC 145 Charger, Futuro Top quick-change chuck, belt hook, bit holder, and metaBox 145 L.
