Metabo 6 inch Safety Brake Cordless Grinder

New 18V battery platform powers the world’s first 6-inch safety brake cordless angle grinders.

Metabo USA has recently announced the launch of two new products into their industry leading line of professional metalworking tools. LiHD, a revolutionary new High Density 18V battery platform and the WPB18 LTX BL 150 Quick, the world’s first 6” cordless safety brake angle grinder.

Focusing on increased tool performance and user productivity, the new LiHD batteries generate up to 67%* more power than traditional 18V Lithium-Ion cells, enabling tools such as the WPB18 LTX BL Quick to tackle industrial applications not previously possible.

The secret behind the increased power is the use of an all new, high density battery cell that contains a significantly higher amount of Lithium as compared to other standard 18V cells. Additionally, to handle the increased power output, the new LiHD batteries are housed in an all-new battery pack that uses specially designed components to more effectively manage the excess energy without generating the power draining heat of other standard 18V battery systems.

In addition to the increased power output, the improved management of energy also increases run time up to 87%*, as well as increases the battery life by as much as 100%*.
(*compared to industry standard 5.0Ah batteries).

When utilizing the new LiHD technology, the WPB18 LTX BL 150 Quick(6”) and the WPB18 LTX BL 115 Quick (4.5”) cordless safety brake angle grinders are capable of producing nearly 1,000 watts of power, putting them on equal ground as many corded small angle grinders. Driven by Metabo’s second generation brushless motor, they also feature an electronic brake system that will stop wheels in 2 seconds or less, as well as an electronic safety clutch system, designed to reduce the risk of grinder kickback if the grinder binds-up.

They also come with Metabo’s new Quick Nut that allows a tool-free wheel change for maximum efficiency and productivity on the job.

As with all Metabo tools they are designed specifically for end-user applications, therefore the new LiHD batteries are available in three configurations:

  • 3.1Ah LiHD Compact: Significantly smaller and lighter than full size battery packs, but with LiHD, they provide run-time similar to most standard full size 18V battery packs
    5.5Ah LiHD: Extreme power output, run-time and performance for the largest range of applications
    6.2Ah LiHD: The ultimate professional battery for most demanding applications
    All Metabo LiHD batteries are based on Metabo’s Ultra-M technology, the industry’s most advanced cordless battery platform, and therefore are 100% compatible with all Metabo 18V cordless tools and chargers

Engineered in Germany, Metabo’s premium line of power tools are designed specifically for professional users to provide the highest level of safety, reliability and performance. Metabo manufactures both corded and cordless power tools, as well as a full line of abrasives and accessories for metalworking, concrete and many other industrial and construction applications.

Metabo products include angle grinders, die grinders, drills, rotary hammers and dustless systems. The Metabo Ultra-M 18V LiHD battery technology offers users the mobility and power for the most demanding industrial applications.
