So far I have my decision regretted it a bit. The device is in my opinion a worthy successor, even if I lack the direct comparison.
The machine is comfortable to hold and has a good center of gravity, so that handling is easy. The first acid test in the assembly of a carport roof has mastered the instrument well. The long bolts were pulled powerfully into hardwood, without compromise. The adjustable torque limiting screws are perfectly dressed, but do not overtighten. In addition, the machine stops instantly and without running after the switch is released. It has two gears, slow to bolt up to the forceful drilling. The batteries have a test button to display the charge status. Very convenient. The battery charge is actually specified by the manufacturer in about half an hour on, thanks to the air-cooled charger, which is clearly audible but indoors during operation. The LED lights in dark places the work area, which is very pleasant, as is the battery located at the bit holder for additional bits. The case is sufficiently stable and offers plenty of space for additional accessories, even if the cordless drill, charger and both batteries are also kept in it.
Compared to the predecessor model Metabo has revised the optics that personally like it here much better.
Once again come true: who buys cheap, buys twice. My old 30 Euro Baumarkt-device moves finally in the trash.
IMPORTANT! Metabo extends the normal warranty to 3 years if you registered to be purchasing products within 4 weeks after purchase to the manufacturers website.
