My favorite is the 4000 RPM max on this variable speed drill. It drills pilot holes surprisingly quickly. I use it for woodworking but found it very quickly when I was drilling pilot holes in sheet metal one day. He also made very fast 3/8" holes in a 4" x 4" wood shaft. The instrument looks good and sounds good. Very high price when buying the drill, battery and charger Although it is shown above as a Metabo BS 18 LTX 6 I actually ordered a BE 18 LTX 6 and received all seem to be the same. Many customers do not yet have Metabo chargers and batteries. If this tool were offered as a complete kit at a lower overall price it would be a much more attractive purchase. Regardless, I'm glad I have this tool and expect to have it for years to come.
