Cordless drill-driver Metabo BS 18 LT BL 18V 60/34 Nm with 2×4.0 Ah Li‑ion batteries

Metabo BS 18 LT BL is a cordless drill-driver with a brushless motor, operating on the 18 V Li-ion battery platform. The tool delivers up to 60 Nm of maximum torque and 34 Nm of nominal torque, and is supplied with two 4.0 Ah batteries to extend run time between charges. It is designed for drilling and screwdriving in wood, metal and common construction materials, combining compact size and professional-grade performance for tradespeople and home users who require a reliable cordless solution.

Advantages

The brushless motor increases efficiency and reduces wear compared with brushed motors, providing longer runtime per charge and a longer service life. Including two 4.0 Ah Li‑ion batteries allows continuous work with fewer interruptions for charging. The compact and lightweight design improves handling in confined spaces and overhead work. Variable speed and a two-gear gearbox provide control for both precision screwdriving and higher-torque drilling tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood, metal and masonry with standard drill bits
• Screwdriving tasks for furniture assembly and cabinetry
• Light to medium construction and renovation work
• Electrical and HVAC installations requiring a portable drill-driver

Key specifications

• Voltage: 18 V Li‑ion battery system
• Torque: 34 Nm (nominal), 60 Nm (maximum)
• Batteries: 2 × 4.0 Ah Li‑ion
• Motor type: Brushless (BL)
• Drive: 2-speed gearbox with variable speed control
• Chuck: Keyless chuck for quick bit changes
• Typical applications: Drilling and screwdriving in wood, metal, and common construction materials

How to use

Fit a suitable drill bit or screwdriver bit into the keyless chuck and tighten securely. Select the appropriate speed or gear for the material and the size of the fastener. Begin drilling or screwdriving with steady pressure, allowing the brushless motor to maintain speed under load. Use the torque setting and clutch to avoid overdriving screws into delicate materials. Monitor battery charge level and swap in the second 4.0 Ah battery when needed to maintain workflow.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill bit type and size to the material, pre-drill holes for larger screws, and use the lower gear and reduced speed for screwdriving to prevent stripping. Store batteries in a cool, dry place and charge them with the manufacturer-recommended charger to preserve battery life. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when operating the tool.
