Metabo MBS 18LTX Cordless 2 1/2 Inch Band Saw
Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade hand-held power tools and accessories is pleased to introduce their new 18V Cordless 2 1/2-inch hand held band saw.
Keeping with Metabo’s commitment to safety, the MBS 18LTX 2.5 is the only cordless band saw that comes standard with a “safety break” that stops the blade in under a second, as well as a full blade guard to protect users from blade slippage or from coming in contact with the cutting teeth.
Light weight, well balanced and ergonomically designed, the MBS 18 LTX 2.5 is perfectly suited for quickly and easily cold cutting small diameter metal and plastic pipes, conduit, threaded rod, angle iron and channel. Additional features include: a soft grip handle to provide increased user comfort and operation, an integrated hang hook as well as tool-less blade changing lever, blade tracking adjustments and dual blade bearing guides for increased durability of blade support system.
Ultra-M
Metabo’s Ultra-M technology was designed specifically for industrial users, whose applications typically demand more power, enhanced battery life and longer run times. The first key behind the system is a microchip in the battery that effectively communicates with the tool and battery charger. This ongoing communications ensures that each battery cell is evenly charged and discharged every single time, thus greatly extending the life of the battery pack as well as protecting the tools being used.
Second, productivity is also greatly increased as a hot “spent” battery can be placed in the charger immediately after disconnecting from the tool. The charger’s built-in fan system quickly cools the battery pack as it begins the charging cycle, thus reducing overall charging time. The result is a battery that will effectively survive more charge/discharge cycles than other battery systems.
And to back their claim, Metabo is offering a 3-year guarantee on their battery and charging system. If for any reason, the battery does not charge, Metabo will replace it.
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.

The Metabo Ultra-M 18V LiHD battery technology offers users the mobility and power for the most demanding industrial applications.
