Pistol Grip Drill Metabo PowerMaxx BS BL Q, 12V, 2Ah, 1500 RPM, 900g

The Metabo PowerMaxx BS BL Q is a compact pistol grip drill with brushless motor technology, designed for efficient drilling and screwdriving. Powered by a 12V, 2Ah battery and weighing approximately 900 g, the tool provides a balance of portability and capability. With a maximum idle speed of 1500 RPM and two gear settings, the drill handles light-to-medium tasks and achieves drilling diameters up to 32 mm in wood and up to 10 mm in steel. The tool features a 10 mm chuck capacity and a design focused on comfortable one-handed operation.

Advantages

Brushless motor technology increases efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed motors. The lightweight pistol grip design improves handling and reduces user fatigue during extended use. A 12V battery with 2 Ah capacity offers a practical balance between runtime and compact size. Two gears provide flexibility for both higher-torque and higher-speed applications, while the 10 mm chuck accepts a wide range of standard drill bits and screwdriving accessories. The tool’s compact dimensions and modest weight make it suitable for work in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood up to 32 mm diameter
• Drilling holes in metal up to 10 mm diameter
• Screwdriving tasks for furniture assembly and fittings

How to use

Fit an appropriately sized drill bit or screwdriver bit into the 10 mm chuck and tighten securely. Select the suitable gear for the task: a lower gear for higher torque when driving screws or drilling larger holes, and a higher gear for faster rotation when drilling smaller holes. Ensure the battery is fully charged before beginning work and observe correct clamping and support of the workpiece. Hold the pistol grip with a steady, controlled posture and apply consistent pressure while drilling or screwdriving.

Recommendations

Use 2 Ah batteries for typical tasks and carry at least one spare battery for extended work sessions. For metal drilling, use marked metal-cutting bits and reduce speed if necessary. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when operating the drill. Store the tool and batteries in a dry, cool place and follow manufacturer instructions for battery charging and maintenance.
