November 19, 2018 -  Metabo Corp., West Chester, Pennsylvania, announces two new tools; 18V Impact Driver (SSD 18 LTX 200 BL) and 18V High Torque Impact Wrench (SSW 18 LTX 300 BL).

“We are excited about these strong additions to our continuously expanding line of cordless tools. These two brushless tools are more efficient, compact and have increased torque over previous models, allowing the user to work longer and more effectively when fastening or drilling. Most importantly, our users will notice the incredible increase in working speed, making these impact fastest in their class”, says Antoine Derché, Metabo’s Director of Product and Marketing. 

The 18V Compact Impact Wrench (SSW 18 LTX 300 BL) has a no-load speed of 2,650 rpm, 221 ft lbs. of torque and 3,750 BPM. While the 18V Impact Driver (SSD 18 LTX 200 BL) has a no-load speed of 2,900 rpm, 1,700 inch lbs. of torque and 4,000 BPM. Both have 12 speeds/torque levels that allow for a wide range of applications.

The 18V Impact Wrench and Driver are extremely fast and have an industry leading power to size ratio, reducing worker fatigue and speeding up work. These tools include powerful brushless motors, increasing the number of screws or bolts that can be processed in less time. The Cordless Impact Wrench and Driver have a unique feature called Automatic Power Shift or APS, which supports working with self-tapping screws; automatic torque reduction after drilling to prevent stripping. This feature gives a lot of control to the users while maximizing working speed and efficiency. The tools also include electronic overload protection to keep the motor from overheating, prolonging the tools life. Additional features include a belt hook that can be placed on the left or right of the tool and a LED light for illuminating work.

September 20, 2018 -  Metabo Corp., West Chester, Pennsylvania, manufacturer of professional grade cordless and corded hand-held power tools and accessories announces their new “World’s First” large angle grinders with safety brake. They offer a 7 in. version (WEPB 24-180 MVT) and a 9 in. version (WEPB 24-230 MVT), both made in Germany. 

“Safety is an integral part of Metabo’s philosophy, so introducing these two new large grinders with safety brakes was just a natural progression. They complete our lineup of 4-1/2 in., 5 in. and 6 in. safety grinders, corded and cordless” said Terry Tuerk, Metabo’s Senior Product Manager.

The new safety brake grinders stop the wheel in 2.5 seconds of releasing the paddle switch, significantly reducing the risk of injury in the event the operator loses control of the tool. Keeping the end user's safety in mind, other safety features of these tools include: a non-locking paddle switch and an electronic clutch, which helps protect the user against kick-back if the wheel binds. Both grinders also include electronic overload protection to keep the motor from overheating, prolonging the tools life, and restart protection, which prevents the tool from restarting on its own in the event of a power interruption. They are also equipped with an advanced anti-vibration side handle.

The WEPB 24-180 MVT and WEPB 24-230MVT both have high torque LongLife 15.0 Amp motors. The WEPB 24-180 MVT has a 7 in. wheel diameter and no-load speed of 8,500 - ideal for weld seam prep and beveling work.  The WEPB 24-230 has a 9 in. wheel diameter and no-load speed of 6,600 - for covering a larger surface area when grinding and adding extra depth capacity for cutting. Additional features of the tools include; 3 position anti-vibration side handle and a 3-position vibration dampened back handle for cutting or grinding applications.
