Multi-tool Metabo MT 18 LTX Black Green Red

The Metabo MT 18 LTX Black Green Red is a cordless multi-tool for scraping, sawing, rasping and grinding in a compact form factor. It runs from a battery source and delivers an adjustable idle oscillation rate between 7,000 and 18,000 oscillations per minute (OPM) with an oscillation angle of 1.6°. The tool's compact dimensions — 82.9 mm width, 271.6 mm depth and 107.8 mm height — and a measured sound pressure level of 77 dB support use in confined workspaces and renovation tasks where maneuverability and moderate noise are important.

Advantages

The MT 18 LTX combines multiple functions — grinding, rasping, sawing and scraping — in one cordless unit, eliminating the need to switch between separate tools for many common repair and finishing jobs. Variable speed control across the 7,000–18,000 OPM range allows matching oscillation speed to material and accessory. Its small footprint and lightweight ergonomics improve access in tight areas. The stated 1.6° oscillation angle targets efficient material removal while maintaining control during precision tasks.

Suitable for

• Removing old paint, adhesives and sealants by scraping
• Cutting or trimming wood, plastic and thin metal with saw blades
• Shaping and leveling surfaces with rasps or sanding attachments
• Detail grinding in renovation, carpentry and installation work

How to use

Fit the appropriate accessory for the task — a scraper blade for removing coatings, a saw blade for cutting, a rasp or sanding pad for shaping — and secure it according to the manufacturer's accessory-mounting method. Select an oscillation speed within the 7,000–18,000 OPM range that matches the material and the accessory; lower speeds are generally better for controlled removal and delicate materials, higher speeds for faster stock removal. Hold the tool with a firm two-handed grip when needed, keep the workpiece stable, and proceed with steady, even pressure. Allow the tool's oscillation to do the cutting or sanding rather than forcing it; pause periodically to inspect progress and avoid overheating the accessory or the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask and hearing protection, and secure loose clothing or jewelry. Choose accessories designed for oscillating multi-tools and match accessory speed recommendations to the tool's 7,000–18,000 OPM range. For indoor or noise-sensitive environments, consider working at lower speeds and use dust extraction or containment when grinding or sanding.
