Metabo 18V Cordless Grinder for Professionals - Tool Only, Variable Speed, Safety Features

The Metabo 18V Cordless WVPB 18 LT BL 11-125 Quick 4-1/2” / 5” variable speed brushless braking angle grinder is meticulously engineered and manufactured in Germany, prioritizing safety, productivity, and exceptional durability for a wide array of industrial grinding, cutting, beveling, and deburring tasks. This innovative tool features Metabo's second-generation brushless motor technology, delivering equivalent power to a 1,100 Watt/11.0Ah corded tool. With a variable speed range of 2,800 to 10,000 RPM, it offers an impressive 40% increase in output, ensuring top-tier performance.

In addition to its impressive power, the grinder operates at cooler temperatures, optimizing energy transfer from the battery to the spindle. This enhances efficiency and extends runtime, maximizing continuous power and productivity. Safety is paramount; the grinder is equipped with the patented Metabo S-Automatic safety slip clutch and an electronic safety cut-out mechanism. These features significantly reduce kickback risk, allowing the tool to stop immediately if an accessory jams, aiding in user control during operation.

The ergonomic design of the non-locking paddle switch minimizes user fatigue, and the motor is instantly de-energized upon release. This activates Metabo's Electronic Brake System, halting the grinding wheel in 2.5 seconds or less to enhance safety for the operator. Furthermore, downtime for grinding and cutting is minimized thanks to the M-Quick System, which allows for the quickest tool-free wheel changes with the simple push of a large spindle lock button.

The grinder's durability is further reinforced by a detachable dust filter and a fully encapsulated motor, which protect the internal components from dust and debris. The device also boasts several electronic features, including vario-tacho-constamatic (VTC) speed stabilization, extreme overload protection, power interruption protection, and a soft start function. For added convenience, it comes with a 4-position locking rotatable battery pack, two tool-free adjustable guards (for 4-1/2” and 6” accessories), a dual-position side handle designed to reduce vibration, and DropSecure capacity to connect a lanyard and tethering bracket for safety while working at heights.

Included in the package are a clip-on Type 1 cutting wheel guard, a detachable dust filter, an M-Quick flange nut, and an inner support flange (battery and charger sold separately). Each Metabo battery is designed with multiple protection levels to enhance service life. The proprietary ULTRA-M™ technology facilitates communication between the tool, battery, and charger, optimizing performance. Features such as Single Cell Protection and Overload Protection prevent overcharging or over-discharging, thus safeguarding the tool and battery pack from potential overheating damage.

A fully charged battery can deliver its full power in temperatures ranging from 5°F to 122°F. The battery is also equipped with impact-resistant and skid-resistant rubber, making it suitable for the toughest job site conditions, while a 4-LED capacity indicator shows the remaining charge. Additionally, the patented air-cooled charging system allows for a charging time that is up to 30% faster, reducing downtime significantly.

With its 12V, 18V, and 36V (2x18V) cordless selections, Metabo provides a comprehensive range of tools designed for industrial metalworking and heavy construction. Since 2009, the ULTRA-M™ cordless platform guarantees 100% compatibility between 18V tools and batteries, and all 12V and 18V batteries share the same chargers, ensuring convenience and compatibility. A variety of battery options is available, from compact 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion to robust 10.0Ah, based on advanced LiHD™ technology. Lastly, Metabo backs all cordless tools with a 3-YEAR WARRANTY, alongside a full 3-YEAR REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE for battery and charger systems.
