-----------------------------------------------------
We find the new Metabo HPT 18V Cordless One Handed Reciprocating Saw very interesting because it also takes Jigsaw blades and will reliably function as a jigsaw and recip saw. What makes this saw stand out is that there was nothing taken away from the new tools form or function as a one handed recip saw when they added the jigsaw blade acceptance. This is a one handed recip saw first and foremost, but the way these tools are designed, they function just as good as a jigsaw when needed. So interesting, at least to me.
Now this tool is not going to be used in fine woodworking like a barrel grip jigsaw, but in construction or as a pro-sumer tool, it will easily work back and forth without issue.
Metabo HPT is not given the credit needed with some of the tools they create. This is an 18-volt tool so it will accept hitachi or Metabo HPT slide on 18-volt batteries. It will also accept the 36-volt multivolt batteries. It will not take the 36 volt wall adapter.

Why Metabo did NOT make this cool tool “BRUSHLESS” leaves me baffled! Dang! Come on, Metabo HPT! Give us all a brushless one-handed recip saw! And a 36volt one, as well!
That would probably be great for drywall I'm thinking the little tail is actually to push on and guide when you have it flipped over as a jigsaw so you aren't pushing directly on the battery
And... Metabo, Metabo HPT, and Hitachi are professional tools...and they're good...👍
The last few minutes were so refreshing to hear.
Personally, I like the Metabo HPT name. I would have also liked the name HiKoki had they chose to go that route like they did in the rest of the world.
The green tools are solid and feel good to use. They aren’t the most powerful, but they don’t need to be; they just need to be dependable and enable a user to get the job done accurately and efficiently. Ultimately, tools are just tools. They are used to create, maintain, or destroy things. Who cares what brand if they work.
I would never buy a Metabo reciprocating saw but I get excited everytime I see you posted a new video and watch every one of them.
You should meet metabo/hikoki cr36da first before you can say no
In regard to your comment about tool brands; I think by and large if it's not sold at the orange big box store, people in North America don't think it exists. I could walk onto a jobsite with 2000$ of Hilti tools and I'm certain everyone would think they're offbrand junk. People have been brainwashed that there's only Yellow, Red, and sometimes Teal.
In the Midwest, many farm supply stores (fleet farm, theisens, tractor supply, blain’s farm and fleet) sell mainly DeWalt and Milwaukee power tools. Ace hardware too.They may have a small space reserved for other brands - porter cable, craftsman, maybe makita- but most tool aisles are reserved for yellow and red. I think this sways a lot of people into one of these two camps as well.
No brand in the world makes every tool in their arsenal to be the best on the market. They all have their flaws and strengths. I use a lot of Bosh and Makita, but I also have Milwaukee, DeWalt, Skilsaw, Hitachi, Craftsman and even some surprisingly good off brands. As for this type of saw, I really like my DeWalt. No vibration like this Metabo and it seems sturdier and cuts faster, although that might depend on what blade you use.
im all into bosch been 10 years, just got all the brand new biturbo stuff, nobody looks at it my jobsite here in California. 🤣👌 works for me
Every single pro in America is acquainted with Hilti. I guess some random do it yourselfer may not know whats up with Hilti - but the guys who work with tools for a living ALL know about that brand
It feels awesome to watch you're Unboxing and review videos ,❤️ from india sir❤️
Excellent video Bryan.
I have the kobalt one. Looks decent to me.
This tool looks interesting the way you make it work as a jigsaw
Metabo is a quality brand. It is German engineered. I believe they also make a lot of their tools in Germany. To me Metabo seems like it is largely on the level with Bosch in terms of quality - they might be even higher!
Anyway; it is a serious brand. It is quite common to see in places like factories or on industrial locations. Metabo is probably the best known for producing many different, excellent grinders. It seems like they are also expanding into new territory.
Back to the tool; I like the jigsaw-idea, even if it turns out not to be a great thing. It is smart, innovative and creative.
HPT are the Hitachi engineered tools.
This is HITACHI brand, Japan quality
Metabo is a German brand focused more on metalworking. This is metabo hpt a Japanese company
@Messer Schmidt they're made in China at a Japanese Hikoki plant, just like Makita in the US are made at Makita plants in China, or Milwaukee are made at a Milwaukee plant in China.
That could come in handy if you forgot your jigsaw and your on a job and that recip is what ya got and some jigsaw and recip blades very nice concept 👍👌 good demonstration and video Brian @WorkshopAddict
❤❤
That's a good idea. Two tools in one.
Multi use tools are never perfect, but I like this a lot.
Timestamp 2:20. That little tail tab is designed to keep it from hitting the bottom of the battery and causing it to dislodge from the tool body. It is a safety feature. Just like you mentioned, people use the bottom of the battery as a hammer. I purchased this for my wife for her pruning and other trimming needs. I had the old, heavy, Metabo sawsall and it was way too much for my wife to handle on small pruning jobs. Plus that old Metabo was not accepting blades anymore. The holding mechanism was just wearing out. Yea I know it has a lifetime warranty, but the cost of these cordless tools nowadays, it is just easier to purchase a new one. BTW, my total cordless tools are 100 % Metabo. Yea, I still have some old Hatchi corded tools as backups.
The little tab is cover the vent on the multivolt batteries(although the newer multivolt batteries have now removed that second vent leaving only the vent that links to the charger).
Not a poweful saw but the jigsaw blade makes it good gets in spots where a jigsaw cant. Good tools extremely weather resistant in rain and cold thx for the vid
Nice to know what other brands do as far as features other than the big 3
The jigsaw blade Part I use to cut out holes in subfloor repairs when doing bathroom remodeling. I tried it on Butcher block and a actually jigsaw worked better. And when your using as a jigsaw I hold it different than you did
Plot twist: its a jigsaw built like a tank
Whoever commented that Metabo is an off brand was an idiot. I like Milwaukee and DeWalt tools, but their fanboys are insufferable.
Metabo if freakin awesome. What a bone head,whoever said that. High end tools.
Not everyone is up on tools and that made me think...... We need to educate.
@@WorkshopAddict We all make mistakes. True, educating is the answer. 👍
Hey dude, cheers for the vid, super helpful. Completely unrelated question; which Nike trainers are those??
I think it would be a perfect tool to bring along with say a remodeler to have in their packout to bring in to the house and a few blades of both recip and jigsaw for those really quick one off cuts.
Also i think they shouldve kept the name and just added the company to their over all portfolio. Kinda like TTI owns several brands without having any common name space amongst them.
I heard Hitachi only sold tech not name but they should've used Hikoki in NA too
Metabo hpt created more confusion
Wouldn’t call metabo off brand just definitely underrated because it’s better than makita and dewalt
The tool tail plate is covering the battery ventilation hole.
I've been curious about this for a long, long time. It all makes sense now
The name change was/is confusing especially with metabo still being its own brand. People don't like being confused and are not interested in researching so they go red or yellow because of those brands assumed quality. In fairness people just want to get the work done and move on to the next thing.
It's also a good idea to use "off brand" tools if they work well for you. Years ago I had three Eastwing hammers in a row stolen so I went to Walmart and got a hammer of similar construction with a pink handle. 10 years later nobody has stolen that hammer yet LOL. I'm an electrician so I don't need a fancy hammer to get by. Everyone used to make fun of my pink hammer but it's pretty aged and dirty now so the pink is pretty much gone.
Second awesome video :D
Team green all the way.... woooooo :)
That is cool it takes t shank jig saw blades
The 18 volt recip saw has that tail on it as well
Im on the market for a one handed recipe for tight spots. Right now im between metabo hpt and bosch. Any thought? I have 12v bosch dewalt 20v / 60v , and one other metabo hpt tool. Really interested in checking how the hpt works as a jig and recip that could be the tie breaker
Metabo (German brand) is excellent. I have some of their tools. The rest of the world knows this.
I have the Metabo LTX (German) one handed and the M12 fuel and I would consider selling both now that Hitachi (Metabo HPT) has this. It would help me have one battery platform
Yeah, don't. HPT has some great tools, but this isn't one of them
The name change was confusing. Hitachi was a great brand. Metabo isn't a bad brand. when I search online I come up with another product that's not the same. a darker green recorded tools with the Metabo name. I'm still confused.
There is Metabo that is known for the most amazing grinders that are more used in industrial work and then Metabo HPT. The HPT stands for Hitachi Power Tools.
Don't ride the saw. Just let it do the work at it's own pace. Adding extra pressure only slows the cut and makes it less clean. It also adds extra heat to the blade.
I'm sure it happens but I don't ever see people using their battery as a hammer. I can't imagine a manufacturer adding a piece of plastic on the back to accommodate/encourage doing so.
OK you review a lot of stuff dose Metabo make a 18v staple gun I'm in the 18v line have just about everything and want to find a staple gun
That makes me wonder if other recips by other brands take t shank blades secretly not on the specs but they might who know @WorkshopAddict
Metabo HPT and works are the only ones.
@@WorkshopAddict do you Mean Worx
@@AntonioClaudioMichael yes, autocorrect got me
Anybody with skill can take a crappy tool and make it work for them amazing it sont matter what brand of tool you use as long as it works for you and it's affordable for you and it gets the job done that's what I think of your comment about the comment Brian and I don't mind the name change both metabo and Hitachi in same company is nice to me both were amazing companies before I like that the Hitachi became Metabo hpt its still Hitachi I like the 18v and 36v line up I have a bunch of them good long lasting tools @WorkshopAddict
Sounds like all they succeeded in was confusing the hell out of you guys(understandably)
Metabo - German based, who (used to) target the metalworking trades.
Metabo HPT/Hikoki - Japanese based, who we all knew as Hitachi-Koki
Is it brushless motor?
I hot on that later in the video. No, it is brushed.
It to save the battery if you drop it
I call that a cordless hacksaw it's not a full size reciprocating saw and because of the fact it's compact In size it's seems to be a but with that Santa sacrifice a little bit on each option but will get that job done be it not super fast
👍🏻🍻🍺🤙🏼
Ile to kosztuje
Brian- Thanks for reviewing the HPT tools. At some point could you speak to the issues people have reported with the HPT 36v table saw? I have read complaints about the the fence and blade adjustments. I believe these issues apply to both the 120v corded saw and the 36 volt (same body?). See this video for reference ruclips.net/video/xi-uLDr8zyU/видео.html I'm hoping Metabo HPT updates the saw and addresses these problems. Would be the perfect (large) jobsite saw if the adjustment problems get solved.
I have one, I will watch and see what I can find
Not only does it not have a safety, the expert does not even mention the subject….THEN he changes the blade with his ungloved hands with the battery in! If you use power tools understand that hand and eye surgeons make good livings attempting to repair some really horrible yet avoidable injuries.
It struggles to cut 2 and 3 inch pvc that’s where it lost me.
Never been impressed with those one hand recips. Full fat corded Bosch for me.
Doesn’t look like it cuts very faster. My M12 Fuel one hander looks drastically quicker cutting.
Yup, Milwaukee has a longer stroke, but as we talked about in the video, i think the stroke was shortened to work well with jigsaw blades.
METABO,not METABO HPT is very popular in Europe,they make top quality tools.I think they dont export in large enough quantity in USA so they are not very popular,why would anyone put extra efort in finding metabo when they can buy DeWalt in local shop just mile away.
German Metabo used to be sold at most of the big box stores in the US, like Menards and Lowes, but they began disappearing 10-15 years ago.
@@histguy101 they are one of the best,idk why they do it like that
Could not give less of a fuck about what others think of my tools. The question isn’t does everyone else like my tools the question is do YOU like your tools. I get shit done on and off the job site 🤷🏻♂️
Lol made in China. Most tools are made in China
Yup, but that came out of my mouth because of the crap China tools I blew up a few videos back.
