First impressions. The machine we received for testing was the cardboard-box version, but a plastic case version of this tool also exists. At first glance the Metabo angle grinder is what we expect from an angle grinder. Nothing special.

PROFESSIONAL STAINLESS STEEL MACHINING. Anyone who wants to achieve a perfect surface needs perfect machines: find out more about the METABO stainless steel programme! The decades of experience and the high standards of quality that Metabo has set in metalworking are present in its stainless steel machines too.

Let's take a hammer drill, for example. Anyone who drills two holes for a new shelf once every six months will get years out of a simple, cheap, “no name” drill bit. But what should someone use who drills hundreds of holes day in, day out?

At the beginning of the 20th century the drill was used primarily for woodworking. These tools were made of iron and were driven by hand. Their construction was very simple: a drill bit ending in a loop or a wooden handle. With these tools the work must have been a real struggle.

Metabo, which celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2020, is an innovative company that researches, develops and experiments year after year so that its tools are stronger, more durable and more reliable. The primary considerations in design are safety and productivity, and consequently the higher profit achievable through using the tools.
