Frequently Asked Questions
What is MultiVolt?
MultiVolt is Metabo HPT’s dual-voltage system. The same battery automatically switches between 36V and 18V depending on the tool.
Can I use 18V batteries?
Yes, it accepts standard Metabo HPT 18V batteries but will run at reduced power compared to 36V.
How does 1061 in-lbs compare?
It’s excellent — most 18V hammer drills top out around 800-900 in-lbs. The 36V platform gives it a clear advantage.
