Advantages and disadvantages of Metabo nutrunners, model characteristics
Content
Network models develop more torque and are lighter than battery models, but they are more difficult to work on a roof or in a garage.
Metabo produces a tool suitable for professional and home use. The Metabo corded and cordless impact wrench is popular due to its good quality/price ratio. The best model is SSW 18 LTX 300 BL.
Advantages and disadvantages
Cordless impact wrench (with impact function) has the advantage of autonomy. The absence of wires and binding to an AC source (socket) allows you to use models with batteries anywhere. During operation, the internal mechanism hits the nut tangentially to the unscrewing axis, which allows you to increase the force and unwind even stuck hardware. Among the disadvantages:
- low power;
- need for recharging.
Network models develop more torque and are lighter than battery models, but they are more difficult to work on a roof or in a garage.
