What settings to use on the METABO SB 18 LT 18 V cordless drill for drilling into concrete?
Frequently Asked Questions - 31/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The METABO SB 18 LT 18 V cordless drill is specially designed for drilling into hard materials like concrete, with a maximum capacity of 13 mm in diameter in masonry. To achieve the best results, you must first ensure that the hammer mode is activated. This mode is essential for drilling into concrete: it combines rotation with a hammer action of over 31,000 blows per minute, which pulverizes the material while the rotation evacuates it.

For speed settings, use the low speed (first gear, about 0-600 rpm) when drilling into concrete. This drill offers two distinct speeds - a low speed with high torque and a high speed for lighter applications. The low speed is recommended as it provides more power and control, reducing the risk of overheating the bit and optimizing the efficiency of the hammer mode. Never exceed the capacity of 13 mm in diameter in concrete, as this would overload the tool and damage the motor.

The choice of drill bit is crucial for success. Use only specialized concrete bits with a tungsten carbide tip, designed to withstand repeated impacts and the hardness of concrete. Standard or ordinary metal bits are not suitable and will quickly become damaged. Ensure that the bit is securely tightened in the 1.5-13 mm chuck of the drill.

For drilling technique, apply moderate and consistent pressure while holding the drill straight and firmly. Let the hammer mode and speed do the work - do not force with excessive pressure, as this reduces efficiency and unnecessarily drains the battery. The drill has an integrated light that helps you see the starting point of the hole precisely. For deep holes, regularly remove the bit to evacuate dust and shavings, which prevents clogging and overheating. Allow the bit to cool for a few seconds before resuming.

Check that your 18 V battery is fully charged before starting, as drilling into concrete consumes a lot of energy. The compact and lightweight design of the METABO SB 18 LT 18 V makes it easy to hold and control, even during long drilling tasks.
