The Metabo BS 18 L BL Q (613156840) is a compact pistol-grip cordless drill/screwdriver with a brushless motor designed for standard drilling and screwdriving tasks. Delivering up to 1700 RPM and capable of drilling up to 40 mm in wood, this 18V tool combines high efficiency and long battery runtime with a lightweight 900 g design. It features an aluminium die-cast gear housing, integrated LED work light with afterglow, and includes a metaBOX for transport and storage.
