Over at Ohio Power Tool, they have this Metabo 18V cordless drill kit for just $89. But wait – there’s more – you also get free shipping and a free Bluetooth radio!
A long time ago, Metabo had an 18V Quick cordless drill kit, and I thought it was a great buy at $149. The current model, BS 18 L QUICK 2.0, has a better chuck (1/2″ vs. 3/8″), faster speeds, and a little more torque.

The drill also comes with Metabo’s “Quick” interface. The drill chuck can be removed to reveal a 1/4″ hex screwdriver chuck. AND, it also comes with a right angle attachment.
Key Features & Specs
- 1/2″ drill chuck
- Metabo “Quick” interface
- Included right angle adapter
- 0-450/0-1800 RPM
- 442 in-lbs max torque
- Kit SKU: 602320620
The kit comes with a belt clip, 2.0Ah battery, charger (627046000), and hard carrying case, plus the drill chuck and right angle attachment.
The included charger seems to be Metabo’s typical “air cooled” charger (as per the catalog number), which can charge a 1.5Ah battery in 30 minutes.
$89 seems to be a very good price for this kit!

On top of that, you ALSO get a FREE Metabo 18V Bluetooth jobsite radio, model 600777520. It has AM and FM radio tuners and Bleutooth connectivity for streaming from your smartphone or tablet.
The radio works with Metabo 12V and 18V slide-on battery packs, and also comes with an AC adapter.
Lastly, everything ships for free.
Add the drill kit to your cart and the free radio is automatically added.

Acme Tools recently had the drill kit priced at $69 (thank you, Luke!), but they sold out before I could post about it. Other retailers seem to have this kit at $99 and without any free bonuses.
This is incredibly aggressive pricing by Metabo, and it doesn’t look like they cut corners anywhere – this is their standard 18V Quick 2.0 cordless drill, with standard battery size and 18V charger.
No, it’s not brushless, but the quick chuck and right angle attachment make a compelling argument in favor of this kit, not to mention its compact size and respectable performance specs.
$89 shipped for the drill kit and bonus Bluetooth radio seems to be a fantastic deal.
I can’t see a catch here, can you?
I find myself trying to think of any friends or family members who might be needing a new or first-time cordless drill. The deal seems too good to pass up!
*Thumbs up* to Ohio Power Tool and Metabo – keep the tool deals coming!

I picked up the same drill kit from Acme for $69 a few weeks ago. It’s a really good drill for the price.

Of course Hawaii is excluded.

Of course Hawaii is excluded, we’re always excluded from online deals- The Home Depot and the like.

The only catch is Metabo. Not that they are bad, but if you’re buying into a battery line, that one is somewhat niche.
For the person who just owns a drill (and now a radio)? Great purchase.
P.s. Deals like these are how I ended up with ~9 different battery platforms. It’s a slippery slope.
Also, even though I know Metabo and Metabo HPT are different things, I still thought for a moment “Hmm, new color scheme for Metabo HPT?” They really shouldn’t share a name.

Actually in the EU the Metabo battery platform is shared by a bunch of different tool makers – look up the CAS platform. And Metabo has been making a push into woodworking tools.

I’m tempted because it’s a rare 18V driver (without the drill chuck), but my 12V Flexi-click has been good enough for me – and I don’t expect I’d buy any other Metabo tools.
I’d really like the Makita DDF083Z LXT brushless driver since I already have other LXT tools, but since it’s NAINA, it’s a little too pricey for a tool I don’t need ($165 tool only on eBay).
The only other 18V driver I can think of is the somewhat similar Bosch 18V Flexi-click, which is nicer (e.g. brushless , offset attachment, SDS attachment), but it’s even more expensive ($249 for the kit).
TonyT
But given what Ryboi’s been doing (e.g. 18V small multi-material saws, while most others are 12V), I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Ryobi 18V driver or multi-head tool like this.

The Makita DDF083Z is available off Amazon UK for ~$135 delivered to USA And slightly higher off Amazon DE (Germany)

I don’t have a lot of Metabo stuff, but all of it I’ve touched was clearly among the best of German design & manufacturing.

The kit may have been engineered in Gremany – but the COO for manufacturing is China

I like that they include an AC adapter so you can use both at the same time without buying another battery.
jd
Had to pay shipping(was not sent to billing address).
Stuart
Free shipping should be working again soon.
If you had to pay shipping at checkout, contact Ohio Power Tool customer service and they should be able to straighten it out for you.
Shawn Yuan
Hmmm… I can’t seem to get free shipping to apply. Best I got is “OPT Best Way Ground (UPS, FedEx or USPS) $22.85.”
It changed to free when I added the 12V Metabo impact. Weird.
Peter
It showed some shipping costs when using the shipping estimate calculator on my end but during check out there was a free shipping option.
Shawn Yuan
I thought it was a sign that I shouldn’t buy something I don’t need, but I really wanted the radio and kept the page open. Checked it just now and Free Shipping! Order placed.
Jeremiah Ducate
Im doing the same as Stuart, trying to think if theres anybody i know who can use this. I already have my basics covered with about 5 battery platforms i actualky use and drills/drivers in four of them. Ive got the 12v bosch flexiclick.
Peter
Oh boy, another batterie standart is making its home at my place.

I thought the (old forest green) “Metabo brand” is “now “ (electric green) Metabo HPT brand, this is a great deal. Are these batteries interchangeable w/ Metabo HPT cordless 18v tools, if this promo is still available “today” am I purchasing a “dead” battery platform?
Peter
I do not think you are buying into a “dead” battery platform but metabo USA is mainly focused afaik on the professional especially on the metal and concrete businesses.
Jared
Metabo is not compatible with Metabo HPT. Nothing wrong with Metabo – but keep this in mind when buying into this platform. So no, these batteries don’t fit HPT tools.
Stuart
Metabo and Metabo HPT are separate brands.
Metabo 18V is very much an active brand with plenty of products and ongoing developments. No worries about it being a defunct brand or platform.
Tom
Not sure I understand how this works. Did Hitachi just buy naming rights for brand recognition?
Wouldn’t a buyout relegate the company being acquired to defunct status. I’m obviously missing something here.

Gotcha. Should’ve found that myself…..feeling a little dumb.
Thanks for the link.

Hitachi-Koki bought Metabo. KKR bought Hitachi-Koki from Hitachi. KKR did not want to license the Hitachi name. In their ifinite wisdom, instead of just calling it Koki; KKR renamed Hitach-Koki to HiKoki everywhere but in the USA where they renamed it Metabo HPT while also continuing to simultaneously distribute and sell Metabo. Is that the stupidest thing you ever heard? I agree. If it makes you feel any better, Chervon is doing the same thing with Flex right now; selling what would have been Kobalt tools as Flex while there already is a Flex that they are simultaneously distributing and selling.
OhioHead
^ thank you, I remember the acquisitions, I remember the Metabo HPT announcement. I did not realize that name Hitachi was not be licensed so confusing name comes about; great to see the “old” Metabo is still available (my grinder & hammer drill are almost 20 years old and still going strong).

So I’m curious; if you purchase 2 of these, you only get one radio? I was going to purchase 2 of the drills at once but only one radio showed up in my cart. This was a few days ago so perhaps it was a glitch?
Stuart
You can contact them to ask, but sometimes promo mechanics are strange like that. Unless there’s a stated limit, you could try to place two separate orders since shipping is free.
