GB 18 LTX BL Q I (602362840) Cordless Tapper

The GB 18 LTX BL Q I (602362840) Cordless Tapper is a professional-grade cordless tapping drill engineered for precision thread cutting, drilling, and fastening in demanding metalworking, fabrication, maintenance, and industrial applications. Designed with Metabo's patented automatic thread-tapping technology, this advanced cordless tool streamlines tapping operations by automatically reversing rotation after thread cutting, allowing users to drill and clean threads quickly without interruption. Its powerful brushless motor, intelligent torque monitoring, and compact ergonomic design deliver exceptional efficiency, accuracy, and reliability for professionals who require consistent threading performance across a variety of materials.

Powered by a high-performance 18V brushless motor, the GB 18 LTX BL Q I produces up to 1,151 in-lbs of maximum hard torque and features a two-speed gearbox (0–550 / 0–2,000 RPM) for optimal control during drilling, tapping, and fastening applications. The patented quick-change threaded chuck accommodates both square and straight-shank taps for fast tool changes, while the Metabo Quick System enables rapid swapping of chucks, bit holders, and angle adapters to maximize versatility. Intelligent electronic torque monitoring protects taps from overload, extending tool life and ensuring consistent thread quality. Additional premium features including Precision Stop electronic torque control, selectable Impulse Mode for removing damaged screws or spot drilling, overload protection, electronic safety shutdown to prevent kickback, and a convenient belt hook with bit holder enhance productivity, safety, and user comfort throughout the workday.

As part of the Metabo CAS (Cordless Alliance System) platform, the GB 18 LTX BL Q I is compatible with all Metabo and CAS 18V battery packs and chargers, offering outstanding flexibility for professionals using multiple cordless tools. With the capability to tap threads up to M12 (1/2" UNC/UNF), drill up to 1/2" in steel and 2.68" in softwood, and weighing only 4.0 lbs (without battery), this cordless tapper provides an exceptional balance of power, portability, and precision. Combining intelligent automation, advanced safety systems, and industry-leading threading performance, the GB 18 LTX BL Q I is an ideal cordless tapping solution for workshops, manufacturing facilities, metal fabrication, and field service applications.
