Metabo FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS (Cordless Alliance System)?
CAS is a shared battery platform launched by Metabo. It allows a single Metabo 18V battery to power more than 300 machines from over 30 partner brands. The benefit is twofold: a significant reduction in costs and a simplified tool fleet, as there is no longer a need to multiply batteries and chargers for different specialized machines.
What is the difference between Li-Power and LiHD batteries?
LiHD (Lithium High Density) technology represents a major step forward compared to standard Li-Power batteries. LiHD cells are designed to deliver high, continuous power without excessive heat buildup. As a result, cordless tools can rival or even outperform, corded models, including in very demanding applications such as intensive grinding or prolonged cutting.
Is Metabo also suitable for private users?
Although the brand primarily targets professionals in construction and metalworking, it also appeals to experienced DIYers. For those looking for a robust tool capable of handling heavy-duty work over the long term, full renovations, metalworking, concrete drilling, Metabo is a relevant choice, albeit with a higher price positioning than mass-market brands.
How does the Metabo XXL warranty work?
Metabo offers a particularly reassuring warranty extension. By registering the machine within 4 weeks of purchase, the warranty is extended from the standard period to 3 years. A notable feature is that this XXL warranty also covers batteries and chargers, with no limitation on the number of charge cycles, something that remains uncommon in the industry.
Why is Metabo considered a specialist in metalworking?
Metalworking is part of the brand’s historical identity. Metabo has developed dedicated solutions such as “Marathon” motors, designed to withstand abrasive dust, as well as flat-head angle grinders suited to hard-to-reach angles. The machines are engineered to endure high thermal and mechanical stress, typical of steel and stainless-steel machining.
Are Metabo tools safe to use?
Safety is a central focus in Metabo tool design. The brand integrates numerous protection systems, such as the S-automatic mechanical clutch, which limits kickback if a disc jams, and rapid braking systems. These technologies are intended to significantly reduce the risk of accidents on jobsites.
