Screw gun Metabo TBS 18 LTX BL 5000 5000 RPM 18V 2 batteries

The Metabo TBS 18 LTX BL 5000 cordless drywall screwdriver is a high-speed, brushless motor tool designed for fast series screwdriving in gypsum plasterboard and similar materials. It features autostart (the tool starts when pressed against the work surface), a finely adjustable depth guide, low-noise claw clutch, integrated work light, and an ergonomically balanced, compact design for comfortable one-hand operation. The tool is supplied with a screwdriver magazine (SPEED FIX 57) compatible with screw strips of 25–57 mm and includes two 18 V batteries and three bits. It is compatible with all 18 V battery packs from CAS partner brands.

Advantages

The brushless Metabo motor delivers high speed and efficient performance for fast progress during series screwdriving while maintaining a compact and light build for low-fatigue use. Autostart improves ergonomics and economy by initiating operation only on contact with the surface. The selectable impulse mode allows precise lowering of protruding screws without removing the depth guide, and the finely adjustable depth guide together with the low-noise claw clutch ensures consistent screw countersinking. The removable SPEED FIX 57 magazine enables quick processing of standard screw strips, and the reversible belt hook and integrated light add practical convenience.

Suitable for

• Fast screwdriving of gypsum plasterboard and gypsum fibre board
• Series installation on wooden and metal substructures

How to use

Fit a suitable bit in the 1/4" hexagon bit holder, load a compatible screw strip into the SPEED FIX 57 magazine, attach the depth guide and adjust it finely for the required countersink depth. Hold the pistol-grip tool in one hand, press the tip to the work surface to autostart the motor, and guide screws into the material using steady axial pressure. Use the impulse mode to lower protruding screws precisely without removing the depth guide. Use the integrated work light to illuminate the contact area and switch the belt hook to the preferred side if needed.

Recommendations

For long continuous work, choose higher-capacity 18 V CAS-compatible batteries to extend runtime; for lightweight handling and compactness prefer a flat 2.0 Ah Li-Power battery. Always set the depth guide and check screw strip compatibility (25–57 mm) before starting. Observe standard safety precautions: wear eye protection and secure workpieces.
