Cordless Hammer Drill Metabo SB 18 L BL Q 18V 2.0Ah Brushless 1700 RPM 13 mm 4 cm Wood

Metabo SB 18 L BL Q is a compact cordless hammer drill with a brushless motor, 18 V battery power and 2.0 Ah capacity. It delivers up to 1700 RPM no‑load speed and accepts drill bits up to 13 mm in the chuck, enabling drilling in wood to a depth of approximately 40 mm. The tool combines a pistol‑grip design for controlled handling with a hammer‑drill function for work in masonry and a Metabo quick system for fast accessory changes.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides higher efficiency and longer runtime from the 18 V battery. Its short, lightweight construction improves handling in overhead work and tight spaces. Integrated LED illumination with afterglow improves visibility at the work surface, while overload protection helps prevent motor overheating. The tool includes a reversible belt hook, a side‑mountable bit case and is supplied with a metaBOX for transport and storage. The product is compatible with all 18 V CAS‑system batteries.

Suitable for

• Drilling and screwdriving in wood, metal and plastics
• Masonry drilling with hammer action for anchors and plugs
• Light to medium construction and renovation tasks
• Work in confined spaces or overhead due to compact pistol‑grip form

When it may not be suitable

This compact hammer drill is intended for standard drilling and screwdriving tasks; it is not designed for heavy industrial drilling or prolonged high‑load applications where larger, higher‑torque percussion drills or corded hammer drills are required. For drilling significantly deeper than 40 mm in wood or for large‑diameter masonry cores, a more powerful specialist tool is advised.

How to use

Fit the appropriate bit into the chuck or use the magnetic hex recess for screwdriver bits when working without the chuck. Select the required speed and torque settings, engage the hammer function when drilling into masonry, and position the tool securely before applying steady pressure. Use the LED light to illuminate the work area and activate overload protection will limit motor stress; allow the tool to cool if the protection engages. Store accessories in the supplied bit case and transport the drill in the metaBOX.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: standard drilling, screwdriving and light masonry—check if you need higher torque for heavy tasks
