Metabo STAB 18 LTX 100 601003890

Good mid price tool

The Metabo STAB 18 LTX 100 is a good mid-range jigsaw, both in terms of price and technical specifications. It has a decent, although not a record depth of cut — up to 100 mm in wood. But it cuts hard polymers and viscous non-ferrous metals better than other cordless jigsaws (you can cut aluminium up to 25 mm thick). Therefore, this tool is perfect for those who are engaged in the manufacture of prefabricated structures from aluminium profiles or the installation of heating systems based on copper or PVC pipes.

Simple but high quality

The design of the tool is quite normal. Everything is done quite simply, but at the same time with high quality and reliability. Of the noteworthy, it is worth noting the pendulum saw blade drive mechanism (it helps to quickly cut wood, albeit at the expense of cutting cleanliness) and a cast sole (cast bases are rigid, necessary so that the saw blade does not write arcs during operation). To change the file and adjust the angle of the sole, you do not need to use screwdrivers and wrenches. Fans of cleanliness will appreciate features such as blowing chips and dust from the cut line and the ability to connect a vacuum cleaner.

Jigsaws for every taste

This jigsaw is slightly heavier than the Metabo network devices of the same power class (about half a kilo), and this takes some getting used to. But there is no need to adapt to the arcuate handle. If it suddenly does not suit you, then there is exactly the same Metabo STA 18 LTX 100 601002890, which is distinguished by a rounded holder (many believe that it is better suited for making curly and vertical cuts).
