Metabo HS 18 LTX 55 Double blade 2.6 kg Battery 18 V Lithium-Ion

The Metabo HS 18 LTX 55 is a cordless shrub and grass shear with a double blade design, powered by an 18 V Lithium‑Ion battery. Weighing approximately 2.6 kg, it is built for precise trimming and efficient cutting of hedges, bushes and grassy edges. Compact dimensions and low weight improve portability and make it suitable for gardening, landscaping and general grounds maintenance.

Advantages

Lightweight construction and balanced design reduce user fatigue and allow comfortable working even during extended tasks. The specialised drop‑shaped blade teeth provide high cutting output and prevent twigs from escaping while cutting, with a maximum cutting thickness up to 19 mm. The tool includes an additional safety switch and stops within 0.08 seconds for increased user protection. Compatibility with Metabo’s 18 V battery system and the Cordless Alliance System (CAS) enables cross‑brand battery interchangeability.

Suitable for

• Trimming hedges and bushes
• Shaping shrubs and small branches (up to 19 mm)

Inspect blades regularly and maintain them according to the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to ensure safe, precise cutting.
