Whats the run time on these? Im in the market for a non air powered orbital with a small dia orbit... This might be a better alternative to a corded unit
And cheap at only $5500 with tax. That was both a joke and not, at a high volume production facility this will save the company alot of time and money hence the $5500 is a bargain. This tool is not for the small shop, but for those which can afford to splurge for it I'm glad. Funny tidbit, saw this here in Sweden at the Metabo rack in a tool shop and semi-looked at the pricetag while I was investigating this weird tool and thought "ooh, 5600SEK Is a rather good price". Then looked a little harder at the sign and it read "56000". 😮😅 "not for me then".
It is a shame that there is poor distribution of Metabo tools here in Canada. I also understand it’s probably very difficult market a high end premium product in a saturated international market where brand recognition and reputation isn’t as strong. It would also be easier if more North American tools ran on the CAS system. If I were a German tradesperson there would be no question I would use Metabo.
I like the idea of the tool. But I'm wondering if this can this gouge out a series of stitch welds that you're trying to remove? Obviously I can use a plasma cutter or gouge it out with oxy acetylene or a plasma cutter, but all of these methods introduce a lot of heat into the metal.
I'm a Hitachi tool user since 1983. My first was a steel-bodied power planer that I bought used for $40. It was the first planer I'd ever used in the early years of my carpentry journey. I loved that it cut a full 3-1/2", and easily plowed through oak at full depth. The party was over when I nicked the knives. Hitachi had discontinued every part for it except the cord! I kept it in the thin wooden box that was its shipping crate! There were three extra sets of brushes and 5 or so spare drive belts included! The cord was 10' long, great for working with long lengths of stock. I kept it for years after I ruined the knives, hoping to be able to replace them one day. I still used it for cutting crowns and twists out of pressure-treated deck lumber. When the original brushes finally blew, one of them blew its door right through the threads and into a Carolina marsh. I still couldn't part with that bad-assed workhorse. I kept it until around 2016!! My next Hitachi was the 8-1/2" slide compound miter saw that virtually every good trimmer I knew was using. I drove to a Hitachi dealer in a nearby tax-free state to buy that saw in '98, and 24 years and many blades later, I still use it for decks, framing, and everything except crown moulding! I hope I've made myself clear. Sure I have to buy other brands when the few stores that carry Hit/Met tools near me have limited stock, but I shop Hitachi first. I have had a Hit vibrating sander for 20 years and I love it. I'm going to buy the corded 2.8A orbital and a hammer drill soon. I hope Lowe's wakes up and stocks up on Metabo one day. They're losing a lot of sales, as I see it. Thanks for reading, and keep up the good work, so that we carpenters can continue doing ours! Bill T. in PA
If you have trouble finding Metabo HPT in store - start looking online. There are a few great dealers who will have stock and great promotions. ToolBarn, ACME Tools, and Amazon to name a few.Heres the site.www.metabo-hpt.com/us/main-navigation/find-a-retailer-service-center But this channel is for Metabo tools - not Metabo HPT. We've been around for 100 years and are known for our top of the line angle grinders and metal working tools. - Why do we have such a similar name? We were bought by Hitachi a few years back and teamed up to help provide the best tools in the industry. You can learn more about us at Metabo.com Cheers!
Hey folks! I own this beauty and I'd like to pick up the x3 torque attachment too. My question is - since there's an extra variant of that with a 16mm drill chuck (the DC version), is it also possible to mount non-Quick, 1/2'' chucks on the non-DC version as well? I'd like to mount a keyless chuck on top of the extension. Also, does the Power x3 extension work with hammer drilling (carrying over the impacts) or not? Thanks in advance for the help!

Bought the 6” grinder a year or so ago and had an issue with it that could not be fixed. I sent it to metabo and their customer service was awesome. Sent me a new one back in good time. I paid to have mine sent to them which is more than fair. Very happy with the level of service and I love the grinder. I bought another 4.5” grinder from them because of the service they provide. Definitely recommend them.
*I have used this grinder for over a month now and am very happy with it>>>**allmy.tips/NCandyMaker?63k ** In my opinion this is the best quality and well made grinder for the money on the market today.*
I hade a Metabo tool KHE 32 CODE year 2005, i use it for 20 hours work, yesterday i try to use it again and not working check it for brushes for cable problem but nothing, I send it for service and i waiting to pay about 80 euros now! Not happy.
In polishing concrete do you know if there is a difference between dry polishing and wet? I have been polishing concrete dry and found I get tiny holes in the concrete. If you are polishing wet will this issue be eliminated? I'm thinking that maybe you won't get little holes in wet polishing and left with a smooth impervious finish on concrete. Or would you still need to grout with slurry?
Ive been in the Building trade 33 years and these are the best tools I have ever used.Its not just the power its how smooth the power delivery is. Just pure Quality. :)
