Metabo SDS Drills

Metabo has made power tools in Nürtingen, Germany since 1924, and its name is a contraction of Metallbohrdreher, the metal drill that started it all. The brand is best known in the UK for grinders and its cordless LiHD battery technology, but its KHE-series rotary hammers have a loyal trade following. Since 2016 Metabo has been part of the same group as HiKOKI (KOKI Holdings), while continuing to design and build in Germany.

We do not currently list new Metabo SDS drills. Our archive covers the KHE 56 SDS-Max hammer that readers still ask about, and if you are shopping for a German-engineered alternative today, the current Bosch, Festool and Flex ranges are the natural places to look, alongside the wider corded SDS-Max category.
