Not really sure why they are so slept on, but they are so much more than nailguns and impacts now. I try to bring awareness to the brand on my channel showing my journey with the tools in woodworking and firewood. If that's something you're interested in, stick around lol.
@@dogsongwoodworksI think they are slept on because Lowe’s only has a few tools on display while they have lots of craftsman and kobalt for the customers to view. Even flex has more tools on display
I just sat through 48 minutes of this because it was interesting to see somebody main a brand that doesn't get talked about anywhere near enough and doesn't get the love they deserve. This brand pretty much reliably comes out with stuff that does indeed stand the test of time. Good stuff. I'm always looking for stuff to use my Triple Hammer and CV18DBL on.
good man way 2 step your game up with metabo hpt I have bosh,dewalt, milwaukee,porter cable, German metabo kobalt and several others metabo hpt hangs with the best of them n is my go 2 as a self employed woodworker most days 👍✌
Used nothing but Metabo for a home flip and they were amazing. The greatest one the framing nailers that included the FFF Batteries.. What a concept right lol
"it's Metabo HPT everywhere else in the world" - it's actually the other way around. It's Hitachi-Koki (Hikoki) everywhere in the world, except the USA where their sales company was bought by Metabo and they renamed it Metabo HPT.
Depends on what you're doing and why you're mixing them in. As far as general advice, at least when it comes to batteries, stick with the newer ones and avoid the 1.5ah and 3ah batteries. Those batteries haven't been made for a while now and while you can find good deals on them, they won't last very long because of how long theyve been sitting in the package in the store. Probably the most useful all-round battery in the lineup is the 2.5/5ah multivolt, even if you don't own any of the 36v tools. If you're used to running the bigger Milwaukee batteries, the weight is pretty similar. If you're doing woodworking or building houses, the rear handle 36v saw is pretty killer. The impacts are incredibly reliable and are a bit lighter than the Milwaukee's, which you will notice after a long day. The nailers (battery or pneumatic) are pretty flawless with the exception of the 18v pin nailer. I've run thousands and thousands of nails and staples and have had exactly 1 malfunction, and that was from some budget grip fast narrow crown staples. The 36v angle grinders are the cats meow. In general the 36v tools are pretty bomb proof. The only time I've ever had to warranty a tool is because I was doing something stupid with it. My recip saw went through probably a decades worth of hard abuse in about a year, cutting firewood and stuff bigger than the blade, before the mechanism inside it started clacking from wear. I can't tell you the amount of times that saw ran through all of my batteries cutting firewood all day, getting to the temperature of the sun and staying there for hours, and it just kept going. And that saw is one of the lower end basic saws in their lineup. It's brushed, 18v, not a lot of features, etc. but it still kicks ass.
I've recently started accumulating my tools and power tools inventory and was looking for a brand to invest in and I don't particularly like the wall because they're really expensive and you can't even find used batteries for a decent price and Milwaukee doesn't feel good in my hands. Some of the Hercules stuff isn't bad to be honest but it's so dang bulky and a a bit underpowered. But I've decided on metabo and recently got the multivolt circular saw and the impact drill receipt saw multi-tool combo and I've been using the saw for like a week and haven't even had to charge the battery absolutely a supporter of metabo now and this is my brand for real. Next I'm going to get the die grinder or the framing nailer
Glad you've found stuff you like in the metabo brand. I've been using them for almost 4 years now. The multivolt stuff is bulletproof. My favorite so far is the compressor which I need to do a review for. Might get to that tomorrow since I'll have a bit of time off. Lots of stuff from them that I've had for a while that's taken punishment like a champ that I've been meaning to review. Had to take some time off from videos because of life but hopefully I can get back into it.
@@dogsongwoodworks Man I hate to say this but I think I'm going to have to pick a new tool brand. Nothing wrong with the tools just their customer support is trash and their app is garbage and I can't even register my tools because the app and I can't get anybody from customer support to get back in contact with me and one of the main reasons that I bought their tools move from a store is so that I would have the warranty and services and features that come along with having the product registered. But this is a big eye opener to me that if something ever were to go wrong with my tools I'd be on my own because metabo doesn't seem like they are really interested in getting back with customers and it doesn't seem like they want to make the registration of your tools a easy process. It's kind of bumps me out cuz I was looking forward to Getting the cordless die grinder and triple hammer this weekend but not being able to register my tools so I can have the warranty has really rubbed me the wrong way and left a bitter taste in my mouth with metabo. When a company wants to charge a premium price for their product but not give premium service or at least basic service that's seems like a company this more worried about money than quality of product or services. Im not going to just look past spending almost $1,000 on tools and not being able to register them or use the warranty. That's the whole point of why I bought them new
@@tobeforgottenisworsethande8995 I'm not sure what you mean by the app? Metabo hpt doesn't have an app to register their tools. German metabo seems to have an app but I'm not sure what it's for or what it does. Also the website was completely redone rather recently. Your support request might not have even made it to anyone because of the transition. I always tell people your best bet to reach someone at the company is to call. The support system was really outdated until recently as well. I will send an email to my rep about this anyways.@tobeforgottenisworsethande8995
@@codustv1465 if you're referring to the DEX impact and drill, they aren't subcompacts. The subcompacts are considerably smaller (with the exception of the subcompact impact. You can only make an impact so small)
The hpt in metabot hpt stands for hitachi power tools. These are hitachi. Ive looked at a lot of makita stuff. Probably going to end up with some of their corded tools this year. Sanders, biscuit joiner, etc
@@dogsongwoodworks yes sir, I know what it stands for 😉 ...im just not a big fan of a brand using three different names. I know why they have to use that name. I just prefer it Hitachi over hikoki or metabo hpt. Not the main reason I use makita, but I love that they are not owned by anyone else.
Metabo HPT are the most underrated tools on the market.

I wish I didn't start with milwakee
I got a Hikoki 1/2” 36V router and since hen most tools purchased have been Hikoki - I now am a convert - great tools
My 36v router has a lot of hard use. They're pretty bomb proof. Glad to see another convert!

Apologies it's so long, but if there where a quicker way of doing this that I could think of, i would do it. It's a bear to edit this way.

I didn't mind at all; a lot of these videos that are of this length and beyond are in parts listened to as well as watched.

Metabo hpt tools baby. Keep up the awesome videos.
Used nothing but Metabo for a home flip and they were amazing. The greatest one the framing nailers that included the FFF Batteries.. What a concept right lol
sweet video man! Metabo HPT is awesome!
Wow, a very wide composition of power tools from Metabo /Hatachi tools! Love it! Good luck.
"it's Metabo HPT everywhere else in the world" - it's actually the other way around. It's Hitachi-Koki (Hikoki) everywhere in the world, except the USA where their sales company was bought by Metabo and they renamed it Metabo HPT.
If I said it that way I misspoke. I meant to say it's hikoki everywhere else and metabo hpt in the states and canada
Hitachi / Hikoki are the best tools you can get your hands on 😀
Awesome collection!
My first "metabo" was also a Hitachi 7.25 circ saw. Fixed floors, porches and still in use.
Great collection
Go green team. Outstanding.
Been thinking of going with the Metabo HPT line up to mix with my milwaukee, any advice on the metabo flatform?
