Metabo 18v LTX - best drill I have ever owned.

I keep reading how good Metabo drills are.

Does anyone have any other stuff of theirs, angle grinder, circular saw, jig saw, etc?

You know a cordless kit.

Alright mate, I haven't ever invested in a Metabo kit but I have heard plenty of good things about their drills - their SDS hammers and their combi drills. Was recently looking at a Metabo combi drill - but will have to save up a few pennies first!!!

Can't beat Milwaukee kit, It's been the main contractors choice of manufacturer on the last 3 projects ( battery and corded kit and also the big breaker stuff too) reliability is also second to none!!

I had a free Bosch 10.8V L-Ion monster kit from Eddies for the last 6 months.
Torch
Impact driver
Drill/Driver
Right angled driver
GOP
Charger and 3 batteries

I have no idea why the kit has 3 different screwdrivers in it, the drill driver stays in my toolbox and I've rarely used the right angled and impactor.
The Gop however is something else, I do alot of smaller maintainence jobs along with loads of fault finding and rewiring. I just keep on finding jobs for the Gop. It's like a easier, neater electric chisel! Great little tool for domestic, I've used it to chase grout out of tile joints, slice the tounge and groove so I can remove boards on walls, cut sections of dado/picture/skirting board out for trunking, cut floorboards in exposed boards without marking the adjacent boards, cutting chipboards (especially the last 3 inches you can't get the circular to next to the wall) and sanding filled chases.
It was worth Eddies giving it to me for free just to have this tool! ;0)

How do you find the battery life on the GOP?

 

[Mark_Burgess]

By pressing the battery indicator button on the side if the tool body.

ah, ok. My question was supposed to be how good do you find the battery life. I am considering one but have found a few reviews which say the batteries don't last long enough to do anything useful.

Apologies, I did think you were being sarcastic but I can see now that it was me badly wording the question!

I had a bit of a durr moment and get what you are asking.

The batteries work for about 10mins continuous, there is a speed dial on it so when slower lasts quite a while. Cutting the tongue on hard wood floor boards does drain it, yet I managed to clear the grout out of about 3 metre squared and have plenty of life left in the one battery, I have 7 batteries in all due to the other tools I have, so I never run out of power.
I will get a couple re-celled to 2.6Ah if they ever start to drop off with the power, that should give a long run time, from this company http://www.recellyourbattery.com/prices
