Impact Wrench Metabo SSW 18 LTX 800 BL 1/2 inch 800 N⋅m 2575 RPM

The Metabo SSW 18 LTX 800 BL 1/2" is a cordless impact wrench designed for high-torque fastening and loosening tasks. Powered by an 18 V battery and featuring brushless motor technology, the tool produces up to 800 N⋅m of maximum torque and an idle speed of 2575 RPM. At a net weight of approximately 1.95 kg, this impact wrench balances portability with robust performance and is supplied with three batteries for extended runtime.

Advantages

The brushless motor improves efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed alternatives, while the compact 1/2" drive allows use with common sockets for automotive and industrial applications. Adjustable speed control provides more precise torque application, and the relatively low weight supports longer operation with less fatigue. Battery operation removes the need for cables and enables use in remote locations.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension maintenance
• Heavy-duty assembly and disassembly in workshops
• Construction site fastening tasks where portable high torque is required
• Maintenance and repair work in industrial settings

How to use

Fit an appropriate 1/2" socket to the anvil and set the desired speed using the speed control. Secure the battery in the tool until it clicks in place. Position the socket on the fastener and apply steady pressure while operating the trigger to tighten or loosen bolts. Use short bursts when approaching final torque to avoid overtightening and to maintain control. After use, remove the battery, clean the tool exterior, and store in a dry place.

Recommendations

For consistent results, select sockets rated for impact use and match torque settings to fastener specifications. When working on vehicles or sensitive assemblies, verify torque with a calibrated torque wrench after final tightening. Charge batteries fully before prolonged tasks and allow the tool to cool if used continuously at high loads.
