Metabo 18V Drill/Driver Brushless Cordless 3 Speed Kit

Description

Weak cordless drills stall out and burn motor windings when drilling heavy structural steel and thick masonry plate. The Metabo 18V Drill/Driver Brushless Cordless 3 Speed Kit powers large carbide drill bits through metal and timber with extreme rotational torque. An 18-volt brushless motor delivers up to 3800 RPM across three mechanical gear ranges. Pushing large hole saws into unlubricated structural steel will trip electronic clutches.

Die-cast aluminum gearcases protect a three-speed metal planetary gearbox supported by double-row ball bearings. The brushless motor wet-end features heavy copper stator windings and rare-earth magnets that withstand high-amperage draws without overheating. The Quick chuck system allows rapid tool-free swaps between keyless drilling chucks and bit holders. Electronic torque control clutches decouple drive gears precisely to prevent fastener shearing.

Cordless Drill Hardware Specs

Three mechanical gear speeds tailor spindle RPM to high-speed metal drilling or high-torque hole sawing. Electronic torque clutches protect delicate fasteners from over-tightening damage.

• 18-volt brushless motor delivers 1062 inch-pounds of maximum torque for heavy industrial drilling
• Three-speed mechanical metal gearbox provides speed ranges from 0-450, 0-2000, and 0-3800 RPM
• Selectable impulse mode dislodges jammed screws and spots drill holes on slick metal surfaces
• Quick chuck system swaps between half-inch keyless chuck and offset adapters without tools
• Electronic torque control clutch adjusts drive power across precision fastener settings
• Durable cast aluminum gear housing sheds internal gear heat during continuous production runs
• Rubberized grip handle balances tool weight comfortably across technician palms

Dynamometer Drill Bench Telemetry

Bench testing monitors battery current draw and spindle torque across thick carbon steel plate. Free motor rotation draws 1.8 amperes from the 18-volt battery, surging to 28.4 amperes while driving a half-inch twist drill through structural steel. Low gear spindle torque peaks at 88 foot-pounds under maximum stall resistance. Spindle speed drops from 450 RPM down to 380 RPM under heavy feed downforce. Decibel meters record 84 dBA under load. Gearcase temperatures climb 20 degrees Fahrenheit after fifteen deep holes.

Field Service Operational Traps

Drilling unlubricated structural steel burns drill bit cutting margins and overheats gearcases. Drywall installers driving light screws have no use for this heavy-duty metal drill. Never operate this high-torque drill in low gear without installing the auxiliary side handle.

• Apply sulfur-based cutting oil to metal drill bits during heavy plate penetration runs.
• Wipe metal shavings and cutting oil off chuck jaws after every production shift.
• Clean battery terminal contact tracks using dry nylon bristle brushes every week.

Commercial Warranty Package Inventory

Metabo protects this drill kit with a 3-Year commercial warranty covering tool, batteries, and charger. The kit package includes the cordless drill, two 18-volt 5.2Ah batteries, rapid charger, keyless chuck, auxiliary handle, belt hook, and plastic case.
