. I can’t say I had heard of this brand before, I even asked my brother in law who is a mechanic and he hadn’t heard of it either. I had to do some research on the brand and it’s actually a top tier brand. Metabo was acquired by hitachi, which is a brand I have heard about, which is why the name was changed to Metabo HPT ( hitachi power tools). Metabo is originally known for expensive high end tools but has recently released inexpensive tools that perform really well for the price.The drill itself is very well made, the rubberized coating is thick so it feels great to hold and it’s been offering great protection for my drill so far. I’ve set the drill down in concrete and on the shingles of my roof while installing a solar panel and the drill has no scratches on it. The shape of the handle is super comfortable to grip, to me it feels better than the dewalt drill I had.The drill also looks to have plenty of strength, speed and battery power. I installed a small solar panel next to my roof for a spot light and it drilled holes and drove the larger bolts perfectly fine. I also scrubbed my shower with a round drill brush attachment which requires long spin times and speed and the drill worked as well as the corded drill I typically use. After doing both jobs plus also scrubbing my car wheels with a smaller drill brush and drilling some screws the battery still has 75% power and this is after the first charge, it takes several charges for the battery to reach optimal level.The charger works fine and the carry bag is very convenient. Overall this drill is pretty awesome especially for the price, it’s basically a less expensive tool made by a company that makes high end products. The tool is very well made that literally the only reason it’s at its current price is because the motor is brushed, brushless is superior but it’s also more expensive so brushed is what you’ll typically see below 200.The only downside to power tools like these in general is that they all use different batteries, every brand’s batteries are only compatible with their products. I currently don’t have cordless power tools so I wouldn’t mind starting a Metabo collection of their other products are as good as this one but if you already have a collection form a certain brand then not being able to interchange batteries would be something to keep in mind.

. My s/o has tools aplenty, but I wanted to have my own drill that I know where it’s stored, I know how long it’s been since it’s been charged, and I’m tired of being the primary suspect if a drill isn’t in a place where it should be, lol.This drill is comfortable for my smaller hands to hold, it’s not too heavy but doesn’t feel flimsy, and it seems well made. Using it seems to be on par with the Dewalt drills that we have and use often, and it has already come in handy many times for me.This drill has enough torque to dig into thick and hardened fence posts for affixing floodlights, and has helps to make furniture and fencing assembly come together in a more timely manner.This drill is quite comfortable for me to use, even at head level. The battery charges quickly, and still has not needed a recharge despite all of the use I’ve put it through.I’m quite satisfied with this power drill and how well it handles the jobs I’ve used it for.Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt Power Drill Driver | Cordless | 1-2.0Ah Li-Ion Battery w/Fuel Gauge | 470 in-lbs of Torque | 22+1 Stage Clutch | LED Light | Lifetime Tool Warranty | DS18DFX

. I ordered the drill becuase my old drill was not strong enough to drill easily in studs ans this product was a good choice.To begin with; it has two drilling power. On the high setting; you can drill studds in like no time; while on low setting you can use it on dry wall. The speed is decent and works perfectly.Secondly; it came with many heads that you attach for my many uses start from drilling to tighting screws. It is useful in many home use occasions.However; the button that trigger the lock or changing the drilling from left to right and vice versa was faulty it get stuck some times which is not acceptable for a new product.
