Quick verdict

The BH 18 LTX BL 16 is aimed at drilling rather than chiselling. Its modest concrete capacity makes it worth considering for routine fixing holes in an existing CAS collection.

Key specifications

  • 18V CAS brushless motor

  • 1.3 J impact energy

  • Up to 16 mm drilling in concrete

  • Up to 730 rpm and 5,250 impacts per minute

  • SDS-plus fitting; drilling and hammer drilling

What we like

  • Metabo VibraTech provides vibration damping.

  • Vario-Tacho-Constamatic electronics help maintain speed under load.

  • Electronic safety shutdown responds if the bit blocks.

What to consider

  • There is no chiselling mode; choose another model for removal work.

  • Battery, charger and case contents vary by order number.

Who should buy it?

CAS battery users who prioritise a compact drilling tool for regular small fixings and installation tasks.

Final verdict

A focused choice for smaller holes. Its two-mode design is a clear limitation if you also expect to strip tiles or chase masonry.
