Pistol-grip cordless drill Metabo SB 18 L BL Set — brushless, 18 V, 2x 2 Ah, 1700 RPM, keyless chuck, 1.3 kg, 54 pcs bits

Metabo SB 18 L BL Set is a compact pistol-grip cordless hammer drill with a brushless motor, designed for standard drilling and screwdriving tasks. The 18 V system (two 2 Ah batteries included) provides efficient power and long runtime while the hammer function enables drilling into masonry. The kit contains a selection of drill and screwdriver bits plus accessories to cover common household and light professional jobs.

Advantages

The brushless motor increases efficiency and extends battery runtime while the aluminium die-cast gear housing ensures durability. The tool is extremely short and light for comfortable handling in overhead or confined-space work. Additional features include overload protection, an integrated LED work light with afterglow, a reversible belt hook and a bit case that can be mounted on either side. The drill is compatible with the CAS 18 V battery system.

Suitable for

• Drilling and screwdriving in wood, metal and plastics
• Light masonry drilling (with hammer function)
• General household repairs and furniture assembly
• Light professional on-site tasks where portability matters

When it may not be suitable

This compact pistol-grip drill is not intended for heavy industrial drilling or prolonged high-torque applications; larger hammer drills with higher power and larger batteries are better for continuous heavy work. For very deep holes or large-diameter masonry drilling, a dedicated rotary hammer would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

How to use

Install a charged 18 V battery pack and select the appropriate drill bit for the material. Choose the required mode (drilling, screwdriving or hammer drilling) and set torque and speed according to the task. Use steady pressure and let the tool do the work; for hammer drilling apply light forward pressure while controlling the drill position. After use, remove the battery, store the bits in the provided case and keep the tool in a dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: light-to-medium drilling and screwdriving vs heavy continuous work
• Battery compatibility: works with CAS 18 V battery packs from multiple brands
• Included kit: verifies that supplied bits and accessories meet your application needs
• Chuck capacity and maximum drilling diameters for your projects

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the brushless motor with fully charged 2 Ah batteries for typical household jobs; choose higher-capacity 18 V packs if longer runtime or higher load capacity is required. Switch off the hammer function when drilling into metal or wood to avoid unnecessary wear.
