METABO BS 18 Quick Compact 18V Drill

hyper tough impact wrench corded 1/2 7 5 is it good enough to own.thanks

What's going on with the black and decker hot glue gun? I can't find it anywhere except on top of your dewalt box.

I like it

Hard torque is when the motor is locked up and whatever you're drilling or driving isn't moving like when the head of a lag lands. Soft torque is while it's still working like in the middle of driving a lag. It's a strange property of motors because the max power they can deliver limits the torque while it's moving.

Love the metabo line I just wish the impact driver was a little sexier. The wrench you guys reviewed was awesome, the grinders are the Benz of metal work and the drills are fantastic. Just now match all that stuff with a beautiful brushless impact and I might have to start justifying rediculous purchases to my wife.

Man I've been waiting patiently for a video on this one. Great job guys!

Wow when compared to the 12 v you could really see how small it is... You should get that sleep apnea check out b4 trump throws that Obamacare out the White House window lol

Metabo - simply the best.

One hell of a compact drill and she's got some speed

That's a great little drill small with a big punch # TIACREW

A big beast in a small package. Nice job guys

Soft and hard - soft is 2 speed, 1 speed is hard.

Since they couldn't find a price - online for $149 with 2 2.0 batteries.. Killer at that price if you don't have a BS 18 LTX Quick already.

Wanting... again.

So new marketing idea is to really advertise 18 volt? With just about all batt operated tools, it's all about the batteries swapping and longevity.

Man that is amazing,i'm hoping to get at least one Metabo item this year.

Seems great as a back up drill to throw in a truck or the ultimate drill for an apartment dweller or casual home owner.

👍

Sounds like a new contender in the drill race. 149 is a decent price for this drill, I would like to get my hands on one to check it out. # TIA CREW

Just watching this video, the thing looks precision made.

Hard versus soft torque is a pretty interesting topic! Hard torque is the maximum instantaneous torque, basically spinning the drill at maximum speed and testing how much torque it can produce at any given time. Soft torque is the amount of torque that can be generated continuously under load. That is why the soft torque value is a lot lower than the hard torque. Its easy to spin the drill up to full speed and get a lot of torque for one quick burst, but generating it over a period of time while under load is much more demanding. Most manufacturers will advertise their hard torque numbers which look great on paper, but tell nothing about how their drills/drivers operate under full load. A good example of this is driving a large lag screw into wood, since the torque needed to drive the screw is constantly putting the drill under load. Compare that to something like a self-tapping screw where it is primarily speed dependent, moreso than torque.

Metabo makes awesome tools I really want to get metabos impact wrench

Hitachi ! Muy Muy bueno.
In West( Bah Gawd) Vaginny that means: Thissy har thangza good shit man !

The nose piece coming off is pretty slick. Does seem down there as far as torque numbers go, but it does seem an ok trade off for it being so compact.

I have to agree that I prefer smaller drills for my go to unless I really need the power. My m12 fuel impact driver is like an extension of my hand. small light and powerful. I can see why Eric likes the compact Metabo. But if you can get the same power from a 12v, why carry around the bigger battery? I suppose it gives you the nice small drill without having to go to another battery platform.

only $149?! that is a great price and may have to expand my battery platforms for it!

I too invested in Metabo after seeing them in your videos...I LOVE METABO! The impact is super sweet!

Nice review, hey Dan I know the grip size is important to you, that's why you prefer the Dewalt grips. How does this compare to the Dewalt and even the super comfortable Makita LXT grips. It looks thicker than the Dewalt and Makita, keep up the great reviews.

black and Decker originaly came out with the double Chuck

Looks like a baby beast 👹

Here's hoping that Hitachi-Koki's recent acquisition of Metabo AG will mean more distribution in N. America.

The Makita grip is Dewalt like, small and very ergonomic, how does the Matabo compare to the Dewalt? The Metabo's grip just appeared to be thicker in your hands, thanks

What are the screw bits with the collar you's use ? Thanks

That's exactly the same shape as the 10.8v metabo bs quick which I have and the fit in your hand is amazing

sleep apnea*

ebay has better prices than amazon. idk about lowes

Lmao sleep apathy

The BS 18 Quick belongs to the entry level line made in their Chinese factory. The German-made BS 18 LT BL Q (brushless) is a lot stronger but also very compact and almost as light. Yet more expensive of course.

So 5 years later...is this still the one to get for this price?
