One Correction: LTX means you have the option to put the handle on. LT labeled models dont have the metal case with the option to put a handle on, but they are lighter and also have the metal chuck. I would consider those Premium too, just the lighter option. The base models are labeled Li and have plastic chucks.
If you won't use so deep screw socket, you would take the screws all the way in. The reason is that the bolt head causes too much friction to be able to slip through the socket sleeve during the screw operation. The wood hard resistance and the bolt diameter gives an opposite force and holds tight the socket surface. This makes any screw vertical movement much more difficult and that's why this kind of socket takes some of the drill energy and changers it into friction that occur inside a deep sockets of this type.
[Dwain] I disagree, because I make a point of not pushing the socket down onto the timber surface with any force. BUT it might make a tiny bit of difference I suppose.
Hi, I'm from Chile and I have this same cordless drill, it's very good but I tightened the mandrill and I can't get it out, could you help me if you told me how are the steps to get it out, maybe I'm doing something wrong, greetings and thanks
I have the older model hammer drill and I can't fault it. Although good quality masonry bits are a must as this drill has destroyed a few of the cheap and nasty carbide tips.
guys where is this drill made i love power tools quality over power numbers that being said who makes the best quality drill 2017 not the most powerfull now that would make a good video as people hate chuck wobble and such i notice makita flag ship impact driver is still made in japan and ther flagship combi drill the chuck is made in japan
[Dwain] Hi Chris, this drill is made in Germany. We have a comparison about to come out, but we can't really say who's is most reliable etc, because we can't use them long enough. I personally have a lot of faith in the German brands reliability.
I was surprised at how much slower the metabo was...Metabo informed me that this models performance was Increaced by reducing the speed in gear 2..maybe for higher torque but metal drilling needs high speed in my humble opinion 😊
[Dwain] definitely need high speeds for small diameter drilling, but of course speeds should come down as the diameter (and thickness) goes up. There's tables that provide the recommended speeds. We compared this drill along with the DHP481 and five others, results should be out in a few weeks :)
Hi there Dwain I purchased this model last yr in November and bought it because of its power n speed,just recently I picked up my Makita DHP481 and I noticed that the metabo was quite a lot slower they were both in second gear in drill mode and the Makita was running way faster Makita no load speed 2100 rpm approx and metabo 2050rpm no load speed the metabo was also cranked upto max setting on torque adjusting wheel at the base of the drill...I was a bit surprized so I did a tachometer test and found that the Makita was on average running just over there stated max no/load speed the metabo was running at about 1650/1700 rpm..so I contacted metabo U.K. I explaned what id came across and the tech guy there was very surprised as the drill had only seen light application work and was in brand new condition and was running way slower than the spec of the tool so he suggested contacting the firm I bought it off and have it sent in to metabo to get it checked out but in the mean time he was gonna run some tests of his own on the model that I owned down at the stores he tried all the ltx drills including the model I have and he found them all to be running at the same speed..So he contacted his German counterparts and they informed him that it had been done on all the brushless ltx models since January this yr 2017 the UK division was not happy that they weren't informed because on all there sales programs the stated rpm was around 2050,the guys at metabo were very helpful and sent me so heavy duty impact bits and some awesome metal drill bits😄 Dwain could you expound on any of this is happening down in Australia...Anyway love the show your analysis of power tools is phd level keep producing high calibre tool guide and performance uploads there among the best and most informative you guys and few others set the bar for power tool information all the very best Oz tool talk..😃
[Dwain] wow, that's really interesting stuff Shane! Did the drill still say 2050 RPM on the machine itself? I'll check our one to see what it says. I don't have a tacho, so will be hard to find out what RPM ours actually runs at unfortunately....
If you are going to go for German, go quality, go festool, they are high but well worth it. Festool makes dewalt look like a black and decker. I usually go Milwaukee or Dewalt for cordless drills for my HVAC work.. I like them both but Festool is the king, better everything over Dewalt and Milwaukee, more RPMs, better torque, longer battery life, all the way around. I never thought I would find a better drill than Dewalt but I did, I was skeptical because Dewalt is my go to for years and so far, (8 months) my Festool is out preforming the Dewalt all the way around, their 18V beats the Dewalt 20v and probably equal to the 24v. As I said, much more expensive but well worth it if you need your drill to last and stand up all day and give you the power you need go for it... Who does not like more power and durability? OHH, OHH Ohh as The tool man would say...
I agree about Festool but don't think Metabo drills are less than Festool. I own lot's of Festool stuff but my drills are all Metabo. The battery platform also offers more tools too.
i absolutely love mine. a few years old now

The drill to rule them all

namrur interesting point, I'll take it onboard and test your assumptions 👍🏼 (mike)

Thanks for the video 👌

hey jorge, I'd start with a google search ;)
@@OZToolTalk Thanks, but I already did it and nothing comes out, only the manual but it is not very clear
Can you please do a video on metabo cc 18 ltx bl angle grinder
unlikely sorry, but we LOVE Metabo grinders!
where can i pick this up in australia?
[Dwain] I believe United Tools have it. Not sure if others do yet, its VERY new to Aus.
¿cual es el precio de ese taladro atornillador metabo?
It's hard to choose an 18 Volt Battery Drill
[Dwain[ because we're so spoiled for choice. So many great drills.
Hopefully metabo will made universal voltage can plug to 110 to 220 volts.
Damn, I was hoping Metabo would boost the rpm on this one even more. Oh well, still looks good!
They have a new drill coming out that has 3 speeds and up to 3800 RPM. It will be out in North America around May.
Oh wow, so what was the point of bringing out this one then
Que. Precio. Tienen
I have the older model hammer drill and I can't fault it. Although good quality masonry bits are a must as this drill has destroyed a few of the cheap and nasty carbide tips.
[Dwain] yep it's a kickass tool. I think the same goes for any drill with cheap bits :)
I want to won.Very love it

Deutsche Qualität ist auch nach wie vor gut. Vor allem Metabo. Hervorheben ist sich deren hervorragend Reparatur Service und Internet Auftritt.

Even mafell chose metabo to make their drills so it proves that they are BUILT TO WORK
@@perrinekld7451 yes they do and the batteries are interchangeable
looks like the dewalt had more punch
[Dwain] different timber, so we'll have to see in the comparison!
Makita dhp481
996 Dewalt is better and more powerful
Big Daddy and you base that claim on......???
I've used both
ok but better is a very odd thing to say. Better how?
Better feel in hand and better built I find German made tools lack ergonomics even Bosch never feels good in your hand
Big Daddy better built? that comment makes me smile....
