Metabo HPT 36V Multivolt AC/DC Adapter On The Triple Hammer! 

This is gonna be a game changer in my opinion, to have the option ac/dc with one platform etc,

a lot of people are mentioning that the cord should come out the back of the battery pack instead of the front, but I think that Metabo HPT designed it this way because the battery on the tools you'd actually need this for slides in backwards. On those high battery consumption tools like saws & rotary hammers, the battery usually mounts in reverse, hence the cord will be facing the back.

Everything manufacturer should offer one of these as a option

It’s great to have options! Good information 👍🏻😊

Awesome video Vince nice to see new concepts keep up the great work

This is going to set the standards at the job site forcing others to do the same. Love HITACHI. These make everything!!!!

Omg that nail came out fast! Quick

Really enjoy your videos bro! I'm a hvac technician up north in lehigh Valley and you helped me score some good deals!!!!

Wowwwww!! Deff a ground breaking design. However it reminds me of the first cellphones... with the backpacks.🤣😂. I think this cord would sit in the truck. It would be talked about often but not used much. Streamline the design. Put the transformer on the battery, or plug, just not in the middle. But i cant wait yo use one. Friggen awesome stuff coming out from metabo!!

Now we need Milwaukee to make one for my lights

Would this work in conjunction with a Milwaukee M18 battery adapter so it could possibly be used for high demand M18 tools? Any chance in trying this out Vince if you haven't? Cheers.

Wish dewalt would do this for the 60v flexvolt (they do for the 120v). I have the cordless compressor and would be nice to have options. I’ve thought about making one

You could modify any battery to be corded but you need a good dc buck-converter with high amps.

Your "VCG" Logo is the bomb! Never realized that it was a 3D Gif(assuming) as it moves😱 when I actually got the notification of this vid(yeah, was notified...amazingly awesome). So, whomever made that did a great job. Ok, may comment again, as just started this vid, but wanted to throw that out there before I forgot 👍🏻

Never heard of the 'Metabo' here in New Zealand ....we have the Hikoki C3610 DRJ 36V 254mm Brushless Professional Worksite Table Saw Kit here in NZ ...👍👍👍

Now that we made a cordless tool corded again can we make a corded tool cordless?

Another good video , 👍

Testing the AC/ DC adapter with high current draw tools should be fun. Instructions say the AC/ DC should not be used with grinders. I wonder if the Mitre and Table Saw blades spool up, brake better or sound different with the adapter installed?

These are great. I bought three of the battery 18 volt framing nail guns, they will run on the 36 volt batteries too. But im not sure about the adapter working with the 18 volt stuff. We are gearing up to make a run for totally cordless job site. We will be buying the Hitachi 36 volt sliding miter saw also. Again, these multi volt batteries are compatible with all the older Hitachi lithium 18 volt tools. You get 18 volt and double amp hours.

That's an awesome feature. I love options!

Genius.

Will the adaptor work on the older 18v models?

Hi Vince I am thinking about getting into the Metabo line because of this adapter. Will this adapter work on their 18v line of tools?

What other brands provide this option?

I kind of feel like the should have just went full metabo or full hitachi. I also am unsure if Id want to jump into a system where entry to their nicer stuff is 400+. I'm more curious of their nail guns from hitachi and the road they will take. They seem to have a deep discount right now, Im expecting a rebrand but Im not caught up on the news.

Milwaukee should do this too.

That thing looks like something that an alien left behind. It even has superior corded/cordless technology! I'd hide one away under my bed. Heck, you could grab the cord and swing that thing around like a Gogo Yobari chain mace if you had unwanted intruders!

i like that plug in option but the chior is still out on. durability

Does that exist for Milwaukee?

The Transformer brick is a step Down Transformer to step the voltage down from 120v to 36v thats why the brick is so large takes a ton of chips and capacitors and resistors to drop that voltage @vcgconstruction

Thanks for the unboxing Vince. My thought is that is it is more for tools that are/will be coming out like circs,table saws etc but they wanted to get it out there. TBH I wish I new they were gonna make one for the Milwaukee saws. I’d like to get the 10” mitre but do not want to be limited to battery only. Most of the time it would be in a shop environment so plug it in and forget about it. I’m sure all brands will have this going forward. Sexy Flexy has it already correct? Can that be used on all 60v max tools?

HiKOKI Table Saw 254mm $NZD 1,349.00 each

Let me know do dewalt has 18v multivolt 5amp AC DC adapters if yes kindly send me the details

I’d like to see an adapter like this from Milwaukee it would be nice for the new m18 miter saw/table saw or maybe even a hammer drill if you had a lot of drilling

4 years fast forward i am still waiting for makita and milwaukee to release something similar for their tools =)))

nice....

It’s great to have those options, but that that transformer box is huge.

How much with charger an 2 batteries ?

i tried to make one of these about 8 years ago from a broken Makita battery and a laptop charger. Its about time makita made there own. Do you think there will be one for the new 40v xgt tools Vince

Would be great to have that ac/dc converter on Milwaukee or dewalt and Makita’s battery skill saws

Vince my local Home Depot has Milwaukee cordless drill driver impact gun in a pack out for 199 was 318 I passed on to you guys

I’ve been looking for one of these, for makita. Do they exist? I found one, made by a 3rd party, for $400.00, which seems like a lot.

Why can’t the big box be right next to where the cord plugs into the wall maybe like 1” away from the plug in so the rest is usable cord?

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MATABO HPT TRIPLE HAMMER IMPACT DRIVER VS MILWAUKEE'S GEN#2, OR MILWAUKEE'S SURGE IMPACT DRIVER IN/ON #T.T.R., HOPEFULLY TOMORROW CUZBRO !!!! # JUST SAYING !!!!

Doit vs milwalkee. And doit all screws long short big small bolts

That was probably as far as they could go without stepping up the wire gauge and i assume you are not moving much if you plan on using that

It's a good idea...but like you said the cord is not a good idea for a drill...its good for a table saw or miter saw or other big power tools. That whole set up is not cheap but it's a very good quality tool.

Can this be used on 18 and 20 volt Dewalt and other brands?

I bought one couldn't get it to fit my impact wrench and threw it away

How does this compare against the Metabo hammer drill? I don't know if I trust Hitachi with making power tools.

In my opinion, the HPT tools could be competitive with other brands because of Metabo's willingness to create this adapter... The problem is, the adapter is prohibitively expensive! Why not take a loss on selling the adapter, to help build brand loyalty? I'm looking to buy my next sawzall and unfortunately I'm forced to stick with Milwaukee or buy corded because I have a bunch of M18 batteries.

The cord location for impact drilling is not ideal. I agree that this would be more useful for high draw tools.

Wish the cord power adapter cord itself came out of back, instead of the front; as, I can see it probably getting in the way when using....from the back of tool, might have been a better choice, just sayin'. That inverter is huge. Wish they could come up with something little smaller to take AC to DC for the tool..... Maybe they could had built the inverter directly into that battery adapter?, might have been tad bigger, but rather that than huge brick😉

Just keep extra charged batteries on hand.

They should have put the cord in the back on the adapter so it doesn't get in the way

My dumbass bought one from a individual off Facebook , brand new, never opened, for $50 . I didn't think , read the box , got it home then realized , no battery or charger. But still , I got a deal, he had 3 more , might have been a steal of a deal

Will ridgid ever come out with this I surely hope so

i need for dewalt please

Why don’t they have the cord on the back side of the adapter?

Do the HPT batteries work on the German Metabo tools?

👍👍

Y not build the transformer into the adapter

It would be great to have the Metabo ac/dc adapter work on all of their cordless tools but it doesn't. I have the Metabo HPT DV 18 DBFL2 Cordless Hammer Drill , that uses a multivolt 36v / 18v battery, I purchased the Metabo ac/dc adapter but the Metabo hammer drill does not attach to the drill. Hugh Bummer. Stuck with useless adapter.

Don't you think that cord should enter the back of the tool instead?

from Tampa bay

Would that work on the mafel 18v plung saw

You have that big Transformer so why does the battery looking adapter have to be so big. Make it like a 2ah battery size not a 5ah battery

What's your overall opinion on this drill, you seem a bit iffy about it??

Has anyone tried to make an adapter for Metabo HPT MultiVolt AC Adapter so that it can be reduced to a 20V Dewalt tool or an 18V Milwaukee or Ryobi tool by use of an adapter? I can find an adapter for all tools except Metabo.

i just mod my makita 18v battery adapter ,using a converter 220v to 18vdc 20A😂😂

think you mean batteries have a finite lifespan...not infinite. I think we all knew what u meant though

I love options but that is just looks like a hell of a mess on a job site

Milwaukee should make a adapter like that and improve on the design

Yo Vince, a little insomnia here, so just went to 24 hr Whataburger!!!, Ummmmmmmmm, yo nice vid too, Peace Out!

"with Little to No Power Loss." "In an AC circuit, the product of the rms voltage and the rms current is called apparent power. When the impedance is a pure resistance, the apparent power is the same as the true power. But when reactance exists, the apparent power is greater than the true power." (whatis.techtarget.com) Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is what they mean with Little to No Power Loss.

I cant see carrying that on the job site it's a huge brick

LIKE and like!!!

Finite not Infinite. Battery supplies although rechargeable, their life as said, will degrade. Good stuff.

BAADAAPTER

Read the instruction Vince 😄😅😄. Naaah nobody reads it 😅

Power loss: converting 230V or 115V to 36V is not free.

Wow, those HPT batteries are huge, and they do not look well-balanced. It looks as though the tool sits too far back on the battery.

I think the cord is a great option, but this thing needs to be redesigned. They need to make the invertor/transformer much smaller and maybe close to the plug and maybe make it fit into the battery size part of the connector, and make the cord come out the back not the front of the tools. Way to big and awkward. Thumbs down on this good idea.

FINITE not infinite battery life

I think it's a ridiculous idea ,the whole point of me buying cordless well was to go cordless

Only cheap old men will buy this comically-large corded option instead of a second battery!
