Product Information

Full details

The Metabo KHA 36-18 LTX 32 cordless hammer drill is designed for professionals and serious DIYers tackling concrete, stone, and masonry. Its key benefit is combining powerful 3-function operation (impact drilling, drilling, chiseling) with the flexibility of 18V battery compatibility, allowing for efficient work on demanding projects. A potential caveat is its 4.7 kg weight, which may require careful handling during extended use. This tool features a robust SDS system, variable speed control, and Metabo's VibraTech (MVT) to minimize user fatigue.

FAQs

Can I use a single 18V battery with this tool?

No, this tool requires two 18V Metabo battery packs to operate at its full 36V power capacity.

What type of bits does the KHA 36-18 LTX 32 use?

It uses SDS Plus bits for hammer drilling and chiseling. It also comes with a Metabo Quick keyless chuck for standard drilling in wood and metal.

How do I switch between drilling and chiseling modes?

Use the mode selector switch located on the tool body. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on mode selection.

What is the maximum drilling capacity in concrete?

The maximum drilling diameter in concrete is 6.8 cm.

Does this tool come with batteries and a charger?

The product information provided does not specify if batteries and a charger are included. Please check the specific retail listing for details.

How does the Metabo VibraTech (MVT) system work?

MVT is an integrated damping system within the tool, combined with an ergonomic side handle, designed to absorb and reduce vibrations transmitted to the user, thereby protecting their health.

What is the Metabo S-automatic safety clutch?

It is a mechanical safety feature that automatically decouples the drive if the drill bit jams or stops unexpectedly, preventing dangerous kickback and protecting the user and the tool.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start

Ensure battery packs are fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the safety lock-off is engaged. Verify the selected mode is appropriate.

Reduced impact force

Check if the correct mode (impact drilling or chiseling) is selected. Ensure the SDS bit is properly seated and not worn. Clean the SDS chuck mechanism.

Overheating

Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked and clean any accumulated dust. Reduce the load or work in shorter intervals.

Excessive vibration

Verify the Metabo VibraTech (MVT) system is functioning correctly and the side handle is securely attached. Ensure you are using the tool as intended for the selected mode.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile 3-in-1 operation for multiple tasks.
  • Powerful 36V performance using standard 18V batteries.
  • Reduced user fatigue due to Metabo VibraTech (MVT).
  • Quick-change chuck system for material flexibility.
  • Enhanced safety features like the S-automatic clutch.
  • Durable construction for professional use.

Cons

  • At 4.7 kg, it can be heavy for extended overhead or continuous use.
  • Requires two 18V batteries to achieve full 36V power, increasing upfront cost if batteries are not already owned.
  • Maximum concrete drilling diameter of 6.8 cm may limit very large bore applications.
  • Chiseling without the side handle might be less ergonomic for some tasks.
