So, I own this set and the 36v versions as well. With my experience and with the fact that I use these tools on commercial jobs (I do electrical work). These are great tools. The 3ah batteries are great with the impact. It's light, comfortable and easy to use in most any situation. The hammer drill is great as well and is better with the higher ah batteries. P on the impact is a power mode and ramps up the speed, whereas the S is a smart mode where it slows down so that you don't strip out the material in which you are fastening to. Absolutely great for what I'm doing. However, the 36v versions of these are amazing. The impact just goes and goes. And the hammer drill is just like a hole hog. Also, Hi Koki makes these tools. A Japanese firm that bought Hitachi. So in a nutshell, these are Hitachi tools. Hence the HPT (Hitachi Power Tools). Because of legal reasons, they could not keep the Hitachi name.
I just read your review and pulled the trigger on the 36volt hammer/driver kit. ( I fell into a great deal early this year on their 4 piece combo and have enjoyed using them) I bought the 36V rear handle circular saw and the reciprocating saw ( not a kit) one was 199 the other 179 and each came with a bonus Black Friday battery and charger 36 volt.. Thanks for your review now my set needs are complete.
The 36v version of these two are my favs and they’re freakin beastly with the torque and power they put out. Gotta at least use them with a 5 or 8 amp hour green multi volt battery. I’ve used and own all the big stuff from Red, Yellow and also Flex. Still love my Metabo HPT’s tho. Prob why RR buildings use them as well. Great vid man!
I have the same metabo hpt impact driver. The p mode is the fastest and most powerful mode. Speed 1 is for precision work, speed 2 is a faster speed but it is less powerful to preserve the battery life. The final mode labelled s is for self tapping screws into metal.
Wrong, P is for POWER! 😁😂 Triple Hammer is a solid tool. Not the fastest or the most powerful, but it works and gets the job done. And a little rIn or dirt won’t bother it at all! It will be working still, after others have failed. Peace!
@@plaid11 since I received this terse reply all this time later, from some ‘stank jaws’ person, I figured I needed to clarify my comment, since my facetiousness seemed to have been lost on some ? I was merely making the point that ‘P’ was indeed for power, as in the Triple Hammer does have Power! If that doesn’t clarify it for you, well, I’m sorry for you? Relax and try to take it easy. Peace ✌🏻 😁😂
I believe what the triple hammer actually does is increase IPM for lighter loads but skip a beat for a lower IPM and harder hits on heavy loads like big lags. I believe that is what you are hearing at 9:02.
Metabo = German made for world wide sale. Metabo HPT = Hitachi models made for the USA. Hikoki = Hitachi models made for Europe. All three owned by KKR.
@@reaperreaper5098 if you mean international everywhere else but the USA, then you are correct. The name may have been dropped, but these are still very much Hitachi tools. That's why they still have HPT on them here in the states. I wish they would have named changed it to Hikoki here too. There is sometimes some confusion between Metabo and Metabo HPT.
@@FyrFytr998 I mostly mean that there isn't just a 'Hitachi' power tool brand anymore. The way your original comment worded it makes it sound like HiKoki was just a Euro rebrand.
I just bought the kit yesterday. $100 bucks off, was looking at harbor freight, glad I saw them on Lowes website, I have thier corded skill saw and like it. I'm sold on Metabo.
I don’t know what you’re comparing it to but, from what I understand, the triple hammer gives it more torque and smoother driving ability. By the way, most tools do better once they warm up.
I got the 7 tool deal at lowes for $280. Drill / Impact/ 6.5 Saw / Flashlight / Cut off Wheel / Multi tool / and Saw Saw. Two 3AH batteries, charger, and a big tool bag that fits all the tools I love it. Im going to buy their palm router next.
The same company bought Metabo and Hitachi. They let German Metabo keep their name, and renamed Hitachi Hikoki everywhere except the US. They decided that Metabo HPT was less confusing. Lol.
Here in the netherlands we had Hitachi but it changed named its now Hikoki I have the normal drill with impact drill with two 5.0ah batteries and i am suprised what it can do! The impact drill have 207nm of torque and the normal dril having 70 nm of torque
The 36V triple hammer does perform a bit better than the 18V but the 36V Hammer Drill is in a completely different league than than the 18V The 36V Hammer Drill can hold it own against any other in the industry and lasted me over 3 yrs with heavy duty work U gotta get the 36V Hammer to test on your vs flex, Milwaukee and Makita I have the Milwaukee and Makita and prefer the Metabo HPT(36V)
I love Metabo HPT. Those tools are not made for heavy construction. Their market is more for woodworkers, carpenters, trim carpenters, and finish carpenters. They're not meant to be powerful tools by no means. They're meant to be ergonomic, light, and able to last throughout an entire days work. Every professional I know swears by these tools. I love their line of tools.
You must not have used the 36V as I have converted many of my Milwaukee and Makita tools especially Recip, Hammer Drill, Grinder, 10" Mitre, 10" Table, SDS rotary, full size 1/2" Router and a few others-had most of them over 2 yrs and all have held up to heavy use The AC adapter comes in handy and helps save longevity of the batteries and allows for not needing so many like I do for Milwaukee and Makita 18V tools are.good for the price/deals Nailers are also beat I. The business and have done me well for over 25yrs
Their 36v batteries convinced me to switch to HPT for what tools I can. They make a good reliable powerful tool, and their flex batteries opens up a lot more choice of what tool I can buy. I can get the 18v tool if I dont need heavy duty and a 4Ah 36v battery will last all day in it (since it downscales and runs at 8Ah then)....or, I can go for the native 36v tool if i need to.
Hitachi/Metabo is not in that endless war to produce "the most powerful" tool. They make a commitment to a long life cycle, which is why they warranty them for life and their slogan is Durability First. So they will almost never be first in overall power. I have the same hammer drill, and it is very powerful for what it is...their entry level. It has 620 in/lbs...the next model up has double that, and comes with a handle and metal casing and is probably more what you are expecting.
Metabo hpt has 3ah 18v batteries and then they have their multivolt batteries that are 18/36v depending on the tool it's in, they have a 5ah @18v/ 2.5ah @36v and a 8ah @18/ 4ah @36v. Only the 8/4ah have 21700 cells. Think of it like another brands take on flexvolt.
You need to sell merch with your signature phrase that you use in every video: "so... yeah." 😄😉 Just messing with ya! Keep the good videos coming! One suggestion I would make: do a bit more research on the product prior to unboxing (for example, the P is not "precision" but their Power mode, and the times showed it). Metabo is the dark green model, made in Germany. Metabo HPT (Hitachi Power Tool) is the former Hitachi line of tools, but now produced largely in China instead of Japan. Not really a different tier like Milwaukee, DeWalt and others have, but a different tool line altogether.
People get too caught up on speed and boring huge holes with tiny drills consecutively…. Hitachi has made underrated tools for a long time . The real test is when my daughter is a grown adult what tool will I have that still works. Also what tool will still have a battery that works. 😎
Yup...if you are going to warranty a tool for life you can't put that thing on the bleeding edge of what power it "can" put out, like these manufactures that only have 2-3yr warranties. In the real world of pros, saving 2 seconds on a 6" lag will typically be secondary to comfort, ergonomics, and reliability.
Like you stated in the title, the hammer drill is definitely their mid range model. A better 18v one with a large handle is out there as well. Metabo HPT has a 6.0ah 18v battery as well as the 2.5/5.0 and 4.0/8.0 18-36v batteries. Also, Metabo HPT has a ac adapter that allows you to plug these tools into the wall.
Great channel. I have a question. I'm looking for a budget friendly sliding mitre saw for diy. I'm looking at Ryobi 15amp 10 inch or the kobalt. In your review what one would you prefer. Thank you
Looking forward to the full review of these tools. Great deal on them imo. I considered these at one point, the triple hammer feature seems interesting. And I would love to see what that ip56 rating is worth... are any other brands it rated as such? Also, would like to know more about the brand in general. Anyways, I went with the red brand ultimately but I think I remember vcg giving that impact the ttr treatment... maybe a couple years back... anyways, Dude, thanks for the content!
I'm curious if 36 volt be different. that drill seems sluggish. i agree about handle. impact driver might be better. i do like tests for sure. i know lowes in Missouri doesn't show off metabo as other brands maybe.
Both the 18v & 36v flagship hammer drills put out double the torque of this model, keeps right up with with makita, milwaukee, dewalts of similar spec.
Do you have the 36v hammerdrill? Its at lowes rn for 80.00 bucks on clearance 😳 two 36v batteries fast charger and mv hammerdrill for the money you can't beat it dont miss out bro there gonna sell out
I have the same but hitachi I hate them because they've no battery level reader I'm going to change to bosch 12v and 18v because of better dealer backup will u do some bosch reviews? Thanks for a good video.
You should have gotten the Multivolt batteries they have battery level indicator and are top of the line They are also backwards compatible with the 18V batteries And the 36V tools Also The 36V tools can be used with their AC adapter which is great for the high use tools Table saw, mitre saw, recip saw, grinder, 1/2 " router, SDS rotary hammer, vacuum, and many others
The triple hammer is a classic and carries an ip 56 rating that often gets overlooked, and I think it runs with the flagships from other brands...but as far as the hammer drill in the kit...yes, those fasteners are larger than intended for their entry level hammer with only 620 in/lbs of torque.
Lowes, Acme, Menards, Ohio Nailers are (Hitachi) and have been the standard for over 30yrs and can be found in most lumber and contractor stores U must be young or did t know about the name change from Hitachi to Metabo HPT
The 18v triple hammer is still a beast. Not much difference at all between it and the 36v model. Yeah the hammer drill is definitely weaker than the next model up, but it’s more compact and still powerful enough to get the job done.
So, the 36v versions of any of their tools are the ones to have. You can use the AC adapter they offer and you can use them on 110 receptacle and forget about the batteries. And yes, the hammer drill in the kit isn't nearly as good as the 36v version but, it does have some juice.
Well…….if he pre drilled all the holes, every tool would pass. This is his version of “extreme” testing. And if anyone is gonna push a tool to failure, it’s Dave.
I'm not going to lie it looks nice I haven't used anything from Hitachi since they had nicad batteries so you talking way back doesn't matter if they change names the they're Hitachi even if they're under metabo HPT now I have a friend who has tHat impact driver and it says Hitachi on it instead of metabo HPT exact same tool just a brand change have fun doing the test
Exact same tools. The re-brand only happened 1-2 years ago, so there are still a lot of Hitachi out there in people's hands. I have some Hitachi branded still. People who cashed in on the low prices when they were clearing out the Hitachi brand really scored in my opinion.
This particular set is their entry level set. The 36v line is kind of their mid tier and the German Metabo tools are their high end. Call it good, better, best.
Most of the 36V tools are in fact superior or equal to my Milwaukee and Makita tools and their nailers have always been top of the line Having the AC adapter, the backwards compatibility if the 36V Multivolt battery, lifetime warranty and dependability and only 1/2" cordless router 10" full size table saw have had me replacing much if my red and blue tools
@@dangrimes5078 I think 12v is a dead platform walking. Most brands are jumping on the subcompact form factors rather than maintaining 12v. Milwaukee is different though, since they are so heavily invested in their M12 line...but everyone else?!? Metabo HPT just released their first subcompacts, they do have a few 12v you can get on Amazon, but I just don't see them pursuing that any further.
This green metabo is the Metabo HPT that is hitachi made for USA, and is the lower end from Metabo with not such great quality and not so much power as the the dark green Metabo which is the the german thing that is made in german for the whole world and much higher quality and much better than Metabo HPT.
Why change the name. When I see it I still see a Hitachi and it doesn't bother me but the name Metabo almost bothers me and I don't know why. It just sounds like a made-up name.
Yeah I was going to say, that’s not how triple hammer works, it’s not like all 3 are making contact at different times, it won’t affect momentum whatsoever. Only distribution of mass over a larger surface area
Metabo HPT is so under discussed. Awesome stuff.
So, I own this set and the 36v versions as well. With my experience and with the fact that I use these tools on commercial jobs (I do electrical work). These are great tools.

P is power mode. Speed 2 is for smaller fasteners. P mode gives you more of the triple hammer action and you can actually hear it.

Not Metabo. Metabo HPT. Big difference.
What’s up buddy
Dude I thought you would be flipping out over this
The guy in the hat looks faint. I think they are eating unhealthy.
Ahahah what?😂
@@P_steez See the guy at the door? In a red vest and a black cap. It doesn't look healthy. Maybe it has COVID? Or he reacted badly to the vaccine.
@@maranatha5473 I thought you were talking about Dave because he’s always wearing a hat as well😂
Instructions cure a few problems.
You never put these up against anything. Not even the impact battle :/
From 6.00 minutes on, what kind of screw is that?
This particular set is their entry level set. The 36v line is kind of their mid tier and the German Metabo tools are their high end. Call it good, better, best.
They don't make 12v do they? Almost all of the tools that I own now are Milwaukee 12v. As far as I know Metabo doesn't make anything comparible.
@@dangrimes5078 ACME tools has them
@@dangrimes5078 I do believe Metabo does, in fact, make 12v tools.
Most of the 36V tools are in fact superior or equal to my Milwaukee and Makita tools and their nailers have always been top of the line
Having the AC adapter, the backwards compatibility if the 36V Multivolt battery, lifetime warranty and dependability and only 1/2" cordless router 10" full size table saw have had me replacing much if my red and blue tools
@@dangrimes5078 I think 12v is a dead platform walking. Most brands are jumping on the subcompact form factors rather than maintaining 12v. Milwaukee is different though, since they are so heavily invested in their M12 line...but everyone else?!? Metabo HPT just released their first subcompacts, they do have a few 12v you can get on Amazon, but I just don't see them pursuing that any further.
It’s 1,859 in-lbs for the impact
Idt they're slow at all. Not the fastest but def wouldn't say they're slow
more tests will be coming
This green metabo is the Metabo HPT that is hitachi made for USA, and is the lower end from Metabo with not such great quality and not so much power as the the dark green Metabo which is the the german thing that is made in german for the whole world and much higher quality and much better than Metabo HPT.

Why change the name. When I see it I still see a Hitachi and it doesn't bother me but the name Metabo almost bothers me and I don't know why. It just sounds like a made-up name.
"It won't be able to build momentum with a triple hammer..." WTF? You a design engineer now? Also, is that your boyfriend behind you?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it
Yeah I was going to say, that’s not how triple hammer works, it’s not like all 3 are making contact at different times, it won’t affect momentum whatsoever. Only distribution of mass over a larger surface area
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😤😭😭
