Pistol Grip Drill Metabo BS 18 LTX-3 BL Q I Metal 4000 RPM 3 kg

The Metabo BS 18 LTX-3 BL Q I Metal is a pistol grip drill with a brushless motor designed for demanding drilling and screwdriving tasks. Running from an 18 V battery, the tool delivers a maximum idle speed of 4000 RPM and supports a three-gear transmission to match torque and speed to the work. The compact chuck accepts bits up to 13 mm and the drill achieves a maximum drilling diameter of 68 mm in wood and 16 mm in steel while weighing approximately 3 kg for balanced handling.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides higher efficiency and longer runtime compared with brushed motors, while the three-gear setup enables precise matching of speed and torque for different materials. Its pistol grip design improves handling and control for one-handed or two-handed operation. The combination of a high idle speed, compact 13 mm chuck and robust drilling capacities makes this model suitable for both installation and renovation tasks where power and portability are required.

Suitable for

• Drilling large holes in wood, up to 68 mm
• Drilling and fastening in metal, up to 16 mm diameter
• Screwdriving and assembly work with variable torque demands

How to use

Install a compatible drill bit or screwdriver bit into the 13 mm chuck and secure it according to the chuck instructions. Select the appropriate gear for the material and task: lower gears for high torque operations such as large-diameter drilling in wood or screwdriving, and higher gears for faster drilling in softer materials. Operate the tool using firm, controlled pressure and allow the brushless motor to maintain speed under load. Use appropriate battery charge levels and replace or recharge batteries as needed to maintain consistent performance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection. Match drill bits and accessories to the material being worked on and avoid side loads on the chuck to extend tool life. For repetitive heavy drilling, allow the motor and battery to cool periodically and follow Metabo battery care guidelines to preserve runtime and battery life.
