Metabo Wpb 36-18 ltx bl 24-230 quick solo I mb
A cordless 230 mm angle grinder from Metabo that combines high performance with safety features such as a dead man's switch and quick brake. It is powered by two 18 V batteries for efficient 36 V operation.
Why it was chosen: This model was selected for its combination of performance, safety, and flexibility. It represents a professional choice for users who want a large cordless angle grinder without compromising on power.

The Metabo WPB 36-18 LTX BL 24-230 Quick Solo I MB is a large and efficient cordless angle grinder designed for demanding cutting and grinding tasks. With a disc diameter of 230 mm and a maximum cutting depth of 77 mm, it can handle both rough work and precision tasks.

The machine is powered by two 18 V batteries, which together enable efficient 36 V operation. The brushless Metabo motor is encapsulated for optimal dust protection, contributing to a long service life and high efficiency under load.

Safety is a top priority with a dead man's switch that stops the machine when the handle is released, as well as a quick braking system that halts the disc within seconds. The electronic safety shutdown reduces the risk of kickback if the disc jams.

The Metabo Quick system allows for tool-free disc changes, and the protective guard can be adjusted to prevent twisting. The main handle is rotatable for better ergonomics, and the vibration-damped MVT auxiliary handle can be mounted in three positions for optimal control.

The angle grinder is compatible with Metabo’s LiHD batteries, which offer long runtime and can be used with all 18 V batteries and chargers in the Metabo system.
