WEST CHESTER, Pa. February 2008 - Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, now offers an 18 V lithium-ion hammer drill, the SBZ18, that weighs only 4.4 Ibs and provides up to 40% greater performance than cordless tools with traditional rechargeable batteries.

In first gear, the drill offers 0-400 rpm, ideal for high torque applications such as driving in large diameter fasteners. In second gear, the tool features 0-1,450 rpm, making the drill suitable for drilling into metal and fast impact drilling into brick, block and concrete.

The SBZ 18 offers a drilling capacity of up to 1 3/16" in soft wood, 1/2" in steel and 3/8" in concrete and features a screwdriving capacity of up to 5/16" in soft wood.

The hammer drill's distinctive "Z" shape provides the user with a perfectly balanced tool offering greater comfort for extended hand-held use as well as increased productivity with less user strain and fatigue.

This cordless impact drill showcases a forward and reverse acting motor and an all-metal, quick-action 1/16"-1/2" keyless chuck. In addition, the tool has three-stage planetary gears with durable all-metal gearwheels and sealed bearings.
