Pistol Grip Drill Metabo BS 18, 1600 RPM, 1.3 kg, Keyless Chuck

The Metabo BS 18 pistol grip drill is a compact, lightweight cordless drill designed for general drilling and screwdriving tasks. It features a keyless chuck for quick bit changes and a maximum no-load speed of 1600 RPM. With a drilling capacity up to 20 mm in wood and 10 mm in steel, and an overall weight of 1.3 kg, the tool balances portability and capability for both professional and DIY use. The package includes two Lithium‑Ion batteries for extended runtime and continuous work periods.

Advantages

The keyless chuck enables fast and tool-free bit replacement, reducing downtime between tasks. Low weight and pistol grip design improve handling and reduce fatigue during prolonged use. The cordless battery power provides freedom of movement on job sites or at home without trailing cables. A relatively high idle speed of 1600 RPM allows effective drilling and screwdriving in a variety of materials. The drill’s compact dimensions make it easy to use in confined spaces.

How to use

Ensure batteries are fully charged before first use. Fit the desired drill bit into the keyless chuck and tighten by hand until secure. Select the appropriate speed setting and torque for the material, then position the drill perpendicular to the surface. Apply steady pressure and allow the drill to reach operating speed before starting the cut. For screwdriving, choose a matching driver bit and control speed to avoid over‑tightening. After use, remove the battery and store the drill and batteries in a dry, cool place.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use sharp, appropriate bits for the material and maintain a fully charged set of batteries. When drilling in metal, secure the workpiece and use cutting fluid or reduced speed to prolong bit life. Wear suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves while operating the drill.
