Metabo, a German international manufacturer of professional-grade cordless and corded handheld power tools and accessories in the U.S., has introduced new 18V Impact Wrenches (SSW 18 LTX 800 BL and SSW 18 LTX 1750 BL). Both tools are powered by Metabo’s 2nd Generation Brushless Motor.
“We are excited to introduce and integrate Metabo’s latest 18V cordless impact wrenches into our line. The two new 18V impact wrenches are compact, powerful, brushless and are top in their class. They help reduce worker fatigue while speeding up work,” said Joseph Masters, Metabo’s senior product manager.
The SSW 18 LTX 800 BL provides a maximum tightening torque of 590 ft-.lbs., break-away torque of 885 ft.-lbs., no-load speed of 2,575 rpm and impact rate of 3,300 bpm – all driven by a ½-in. square drive with friction ring. It is available as a bare tool (#602403840) or as a 2x8.0 LiHD battery kit complete with the ASC 55 charger (#US602403620). Both versions come standard with a belt hook and metaBox 145 stackable carrying case.
The SSW 18 LTX 1750 BL provides a maximum tightening torque of 1,290 ft.-lbs, break-away torque of 1,545 ft.-lbs., no-load speed of 1,700 rpm and impact rate of 2,050 bpm – all driven by a ¾-in. square drive with friction ring and pin lock. This tool is available as a bare tool in a metaBOX 145 stackable carrying case (#602402840) or bare tool in a cardboard box (#602402850).
Twelve different speed and torque settings are available on a thumb dial, including APS Mode (Automatic Power Shift), which automatically downshifts to a lower rpm once breakaway torque is achieved to reduce lug nut spin-off and free-fall. Other safety features include: two integrated LED work lights to illuminate the work area, tethering point for lanyard attachment when working at height and rubber-coated non-slip grip for impact protection.
These Metabo Impact Wrenches are designed for HVAC, mechanical contractors, carpenters, metalworking, fabrication and automotive work. The tools can be used for fastening and anchoring applications in wood, metal and concrete.
