Perforator Metabo BH 18 LTX BL 16 730 RPM SDS Plus

The Metabo BH 18 LTX BL 16 730 RPM SDS Plus is a compact cordless perforator designed for drilling and light chiselling in concrete, masonry and other building materials. Equipped with a brushless motor and an 18 V battery platform, this SDS Plus rotary hammer delivers a rated speed of 730 RPM and an impact energy of 1.3 J while weighing just 1.9 kg. Its compact size and low weight make it easy to handle in confined spaces and for overhead work, while the robust construction supports frequent site use.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides higher efficiency and longer run time compared with brushed motors, reducing maintenance requirements. The low weight (1.9 kg) improves manoeuvrability and reduces user fatigue during prolonged use. The SDS Plus chuck system enables fast and secure bit changes suitable for drill bits and chisels. The combination of 730 RPM rated speed and 1.3 J impact energy gives reliable drilling progress in masonry and smaller concrete tasks. The green and black housing offers clear visual identification and durable protection for the tool.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in masonry and concrete up to 16 mm diameter
• Installing anchors, plugs and fastenings in walls
• Light chiselling and material removal in renovation work
• Work in confined or overhead positions where low weight improves control

How to use

Select an appropriate SDS Plus drill bit or chisel for the task and ensure the battery is fully charged. Insert the bit into the SDS Plus chuck until it locks, and set the tool mode according to drilling or chiselling requirements. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, position the bit on the marked spot and start drilling at low speed to create a guide. Gradually increase speed and apply steady pressure; allow the hammer action to do the work rather than forcing the tool. For chiselling, use short controlled movements and change the angle as needed. After use, remove the battery and store the tool and accessories in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust extraction or a dust mask when working in concrete or masonry. Match drill bit diameter and type to the intended anchor or fastener and avoid excessive side load on the bit. For extended heavy use, use the tool with recommended high-capacity batteries from the same 18 V platform to maintain performance.
