May 28, 2020 - Metabo Corp. introduces three new cordless brushless reciprocating saws.
Metabo’s new cordless reciprocating saws include the (12V) PowerMaxx SSE 12 BL Compact, the (18V) SSE 18 LTX BL and (18V) SSE 18 LTX BL Compact. These three new reciprocating saws complement Metabo’s current line of reciprocating saws (ASE 18 LTX and SSE 18 LTX Compact).
“The three-new reciprocating use Metabo’s brushless motor technology to produce powerful cutting capacity as well as long tool life and long run times. One feature of the saws is an adjustable shoe and a saw blade that is rotatable by 180° for working in confined spaces. The adjustable shoe allows users to set the cutting depth limit quickly and easily; this is especially useful when cutting into a wall to avoid cutting pipes and wires that lay behind it. Metabo’s “compact” reciprocating saws are the first to have this feature.” said Terry Tuerk, Metabo’s Senior Product Manager.
The (12V) PowerMaxx SSE 12 BL Compact and (18V) SSE 18 LTX BL Compact (18V) include a powerful Metabo brushless motor that delivers up to 3,000 strokes per minute with a stroke length of 5/8”. For versatility, either a reciprocating saw blade or a T-shank jigsaw blade can be inserted, a feature that is unique to the compact models. The PowerMaxx SSE 12 BL Compact (602322890) and SSE 18 LTX BL Compact (602366840) are available as bare models.
The SSE 18 LTX BL has a powerful Metabo brushless motor that delivers up to 2,700 strokes per minute with a stroke length of 1-1/4 in. The SSE 18 LTX BL Kit (US602267550) comes with two 5.5 Ah batteries, a five pack of blades, a charger and carrying case; it is also available as a bare model (602267850).
The new reciprocating saws have a tool-free Quick-change system which makes changing saw blades effortless, and the integrated LED work lights illuminate cutting areas for optimum visibility of the cut area. The ergonomic, angled soft-grip handle and lightweight design reduce fatigue.
Metabo has over 90 tools in their cordless line with many more on the way. They have the most complete range of cordless metalworking and industrial tools in the market. Metabo’s cordless tools deliver industrial productivity and POWER, eliminating the need for cords and hoses.
Metabo battery systems are 100% compatible with older and newer cordless tools. Since 2009, all Metabo battery packs, tools, and chargers in the same Volt class are interchangeable with each other. Ultra-M technology makes this possible due to the perfect communication between tools, battery packs, and chargers. Ultra-M technology allows batteries to be charged gently and efficiently, and patented air-cooled technology means they can be used again in just a short time.
Metabo batteries offer the latest cell technology, LiHD, high density lithium-ion, with 80% more available power and 100% longer run time than Metabo’s standard Li-Ion batteries. Both feature electronic monitoring of each individual cell for increased protection and maximum battery durability, while an LED charge capacity indicator shows the charge at the touch of a button. Metabo continues to set the bar for industry standards in battery technology through new innovations.
All Metabo cordless tools are backed by a 3-year warranty and offer a full 3-year replacement guarantee on the battery and charger systems.
