Pistol Grip Drill Metabo BS 18 L BL 1700 RPM Keyless 900 g

The Metabo BS 18 L BL is the smallest 18 V pistol-grip drill/screwdriver in Metabo's range, featuring a brushless motor and keyless chuck for efficient standard drilling and screwdriving. Extremely compact and lightweight (900 g), it is designed for comfortable handling in overhead work and tight spaces. The kit includes a 74-piece mobile workshop set with wood and HSS drill bits, a wide selection of screwdriver bits in multiple lengths, a bit holder, socket wrenches, countersink, centering pin, cutter knife with spare blades, measuring tape, pencil and notebook. The tool comes with two 2.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries and supports all 18 V CAS battery packs.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides high efficiency and longer runtime while overload protection helps prevent motor overheating. The aluminium die-cast gear housing ensures robust, durable construction. An integrated LED work light with afterglow improves visibility in the work area. The compact form factor and low weight make the drill convenient for use overhead or in confined spaces, and the reversible belt hook and fixable bit case add carrying flexibility.

How to use

Charge compatible 18 V CAS batteries before first use and insert a fully charged battery into the drill until it locks. Select the appropriate drill or screwdriver bit and insert it into the keyless chuck, then tighten by hand. Set the required speed and torque on the tool and start drilling or screwdriving with steady pressure; use the LED work light for improved visibility. Observe overload protection: if the motor cuts back, reduce load and allow the tool to cool before resuming work. After use, remove the battery and store the drill and accessories in the supplied case.

Recommendations

Use manufacturer-recommended 18 V CAS batteries and chargers. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves) and secure workpieces before drilling. For prolonged heavy-duty work, allow periodic cooling breaks to preserve motor life and battery runtime.
