Metabo HPT 18V Reciprocating Saw Cordless One Handed, Bare Tool CR18DAQ4M - imp.i284638.net/BX5ZY9
-----------------------------------------------------
We find the new Metabo HPT 18V Cordless One Handed Reciprocating Saw very interesting because it also takes Jigsaw blades and will reliably function as a jigsaw and recip saw. What makes this saw stand out is that there was nothing taken away from the new tools form or function as a one handed recip saw when they added the jigsaw blade acceptance. This is a one handed recip saw first and foremost, but the way these tools are designed, they function just as good as a jigsaw when needed. So interesting, at least to me.
Now this tool is not going to be used in fine woodworking like a barrel grip jigsaw, but in construction or as a pro-sumer tool, it will easily work back and forth without issue.
Metabo HPT is not given the credit needed with some of the tools they create. This is an 18-volt tool so it will accept hitachi or Metabo HPT slide on 18-volt batteries. It will also accept the 36-volt multivolt batteries. It will not take the 36 volt wall adapter.

Why Metabo did NOT make this cool tool “BRUSHLESS” leaves me baffled! Dang! Come on, Metabo HPT! Give us all a brushless one-handed recip saw! And a 36volt one, as well!

The last few minutes were so refreshing to hear. Personally, I like the Metabo HPT name. I would have also liked the name HiKoki had they chose to go that route like they did in the rest of the world. The green tools are solid and feel good to use. They aren’t the most powerful, but they don’t need to be; they just need to be dependable and enable a user to get the job done accurately and efficiently. Ultimately, tools are just tools. They are used to create, maintain, or destroy things. Who cares what brand if they work.

That would probably be great for drywall I'm thinking the little tail is actually to push on and guide when you have it flipped over as a jigsaw so you aren't pushing directly on the battery And... Metabo, Metabo HPT, and Hitachi are professional tools...and they're good...👍

Metabo is a quality brand. It is German engineered. I believe they also make a lot of their tools in Germany. To me Metabo seems like it is largely on the level with Bosch in terms of quality - they might be even higher! Anyway; it is a serious brand. It is quite common to see in places like factories or on industrial locations. Metabo is probably the best known for producing many different, excellent grinders. It seems like they are also expanding into new territory. Back to the tool; I like the jigsaw-idea, even if it turns out not to be a great thing. It is smart, innovative and creative.

Timestamp 2:20. That little tail tab is designed to keep it from hitting the bottom of the battery and causing it to dislodge from the tool body. It is a safety feature. Just like you mentioned, people use the bottom of the battery as a hammer. I purchased this for my wife for her pruning and other trimming needs. I had the old, heavy, Metabo sawsall and it was way too much for my wife to handle on small pruning jobs. Plus that old Metabo was not accepting blades anymore. The holding mechanism was just wearing out. Yea I know it has a lifetime warranty, but the cost of these cordless tools nowadays, it is just easier to purchase a new one. BTW, my total cordless tools are 100 % Metabo. Yea, I still have some old Hatchi corded tools as backups.

The little tab is cover the vent on the multivolt batteries(although the newer multivolt batteries have now removed that second vent leaving only the vent that links to the charger).

In regard to your comment about tool brands; I think by and large if it's not sold at the orange big box store, people in North America don't think it exists. I could walk onto a jobsite with 2000$ of Hilti tools and I'm certain everyone would think they're offbrand junk. People have been brainwashed that there's only Yellow, Red, and sometimes Teal.

@e.z.e.932 3 жыл бұрын

In the Midwest, many farm supply stores (fleet farm, theisens, tractor supply, blain’s farm and fleet) sell mainly DeWalt and Milwaukee power tools. Ace hardware too.They may have a small space reserved for other brands - porter cable, craftsman, maybe makita- but most tool aisles are reserved for yellow and red. I think this sways a lot of people into one of these two camps as well.

@jordan2104 3 жыл бұрын

No brand in the world makes every tool in their arsenal to be the best on the market. They all have their flaws and strengths. I use a lot of Bosh and Makita, but I also have Milwaukee, DeWalt, Skilsaw, Hitachi, Craftsman and even some surprisingly good off brands. As for this type of saw, I really like my DeWalt. No vibration like this Metabo and it seems sturdier and cuts faster, although that might depend on what blade you use.

I think it would be a perfect tool to bring along with say a remodeler to have in their packout to bring in to the house and a few blades of both recip and jigsaw for those really quick one off cuts. Also i think they shouldve kept the name and just added the company to their over all portfolio. Kinda like TTI owns several brands without having any common name space amongst them.

@kylefowler5082 3 жыл бұрын

The name change was/is confusing especially with metabo still being its own brand. People don't like being confused and are not interested in researching so they go red or yellow because of those brands assumed quality. In fairness people just want to get the work done and move on to the next thing. It's also a good idea to use "off brand" tools if they work well for you. Years ago I had three Eastwing hammers in a row stolen so I went to Walmart and got a hammer of similar construction with a pink handle. 10 years later nobody has stolen that hammer yet LOL. I'm an electrician so I don't need a fancy hammer to get by. Everyone used to make fun of my pink hammer but it's pretty aged and dirty now so the pink is pretty much gone.

Don't ride the saw. Just let it do the work at it's own pace. Adding extra pressure only slows the cut and makes it less clean. It also adds extra heat to the blade.

Brian- Thanks for reviewing the HPT tools. At some point could you speak to the issues people have reported with the HPT 36v table saw? I have read complaints about the the fence and blade adjustments. I believe these issues apply to both the 120v corded saw and the 36 volt (same body?). See this video for reference kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rs9dqK91157eqYk.html I'm hoping Metabo HPT updates the saw and addresses these problems. Would be the perfect (large) jobsite saw if the adjustment problems get solved.
