The Metabo SB 18 LTX-3 BL I is a cordless electric screwdriver supplied with two 5.5 Ah LiHD batteries and a MetaBOX for transport and storage. Built on Metabo's 18 V platform and equipped with a brushless (BL) motor, the tool is engineered for fastening and decking tasks, offering higher efficiency, longer service life and removable batteries for uninterrupted work. The package combines the screwdriver, high-capacity batteries for extended runtime and a MetaBOX to protect and organise the kit on site.

Advantages

The brushless motor reduces wear and increases efficiency compared with brushed alternatives, resulting in longer runtime per battery charge and lower maintenance needs. Two 5.5 Ah LiHD batteries provide extended operating time and allow battery swapping for continuous use without downtime. MetaBOX provides protected storage and easy transport, keeping the screwdriver and accessories secure and accessible. Compatibility with Metabo's 18 V system ensures access to a wide range of batteries and chargers.

How to use

Fit a charged 5.5 Ah LiHD battery into the screwdriver until it clicks and select the appropriate torque or speed setting for the screw and material. Use the brushless motor settings to control speed and torque while fastening; start with a lower torque and increase if necessary to avoid overdriving. For continuous work, swap batteries using the second charged pack stored in the MetaBOX to avoid downtime. After use, remove batteries and store the tool and batteries in the MetaBOX to protect them from dust and impacts.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable screw bits and the correct torque setting for the material to ensure secure fastening and prolong bit life. Keep batteries charged and stored at moderate temperatures; avoid fully discharging the LiHD packs regularly to maintain battery performance. When working outdoors or on dusty jobsites, store the tool in the MetaBOX between tasks to protect electronics and mechanical parts.
