The Metabo Story

German Engineering Since 1924

In 1924, Albrecht Schnizler and Julius Closs founded Schnizler GmbH in a former brewery in Nurtingen, Germany. Schnizler had already developed his first hand drill — the Metallbohrdreher (metal drill turner) — in 1923, which sold over 50,000 units worldwide. The brand name Metabo was derived from that original product in 1928, and the company has been engineering professional power tools at the same Nurtingen site for over 100 years.

Today, Metabo is recognised globally as the angle grinder specialist and a leader in cordless technology. Their LiHD (Lithium-ion High Density) battery platform delivers up to 67% more power than standard Li-ion packs, covering the full power range up to 3,200 watts — a first for any cordless manufacturer. Combined with the Cordless Alliance System (CAS), which connects over 45 brands and 450+ tools on a single 18V battery platform, Metabo gives trade professionals unmatched flexibility and performance on site.

Metabo FAQs

Common questions about Metabo power tools, LiHD batteries and CAS

What is Metabo LiHD battery technology?

LiHD (Lithium-ion High Density) is Metabo's proprietary battery technology. The cells contain more active material, more tightly packed than standard Li-ion, delivering up to 67% more power in a similar-sized pack. Metabo is the only manufacturer to cover the full cordless power range up to 3,200 watts thanks to LiHD. Packs are available from 4.0Ah up to 10.0Ah.

What is the Cordless Alliance System (CAS)?

The Cordless Alliance System (CAS) is the world's first cross-manufacturer 18V battery platform. Over 45 professional tool brands — including Metabo, Mafell, Rothenberger and Collomix — share 100% compatible batteries, chargers and tools. That means one Metabo LiHD battery powers over 450 tools from dozens of brands, maximising your investment.

What warranty do Metabo tools come with?

Metabo power tools come with a 3-year manufacturer warranty when registered within 4 weeks of purchase at metabo-service.com. Metabo also provides a 3-year warranty on all battery packs and chargers with no limitation on charging cycles and no registration required. As an official Metabo stockist, Invicta Tools can assist with all warranty claims.

Why is Metabo considered the angle grinder specialist?

Metabo has led angle grinder innovation for decades. They are the only manufacturer with a true mechanical safety clutch (S-automatic) built into every grinder — patented since 1966, it decouples the motor instantly if the disc jams to prevent kickback. Their range spans 115mm to 230mm, includes flat-head models for confined spaces, specialist Inox models for stainless steel, and a disc brake that stops the wheel in under 2 seconds.

Do you offer trade pricing on Metabo?

Yes. We offer competitive trade pricing across the full Metabo range including angle grinders, cordless tools, LiHD batteries and accessories. Contact our trade team on 01843 593 440 or email sales@invictatools.co.uk for volume discounts and trade account enquiries. Free next-day delivery on all orders over £99.

Are older Metabo 18V batteries compatible with new LiHD tools?

Yes. All Metabo 18V batteries produced since 2009 are fully compatible with current Metabo 18V tools. However, for maximum performance from LiHD-rated tools, we recommend using LiHD battery packs (4.0Ah, 5.5Ah, 8.0Ah or 10.0Ah) as they deliver significantly more power and runtime than standard Li-ion packs. All batteries are also CAS-compatible with 45+ partner brands.
