Formerly Hitachi Power Tools, the brand rebranded as Metabo HPT in 2018 and kept its signature Triple Hammer mechanism. Three impacts per rotation instead of two spread the load and let the WR36DB and its relatives deliver strong breakaway torque with less recoil in the wrist. The 36V MultiVolt system is the other selling point: the same battery works at 36V or 18V, and an AC adapter lets the tool run from a wall socket when packs are flat.
Attractive for people who want near flagship performance for less money than the top three brands charge. The trade off is coverage: fewer dealers, thinner accessory shelves in stores, and a smaller tool range on the MultiVolt platform. Resale is weaker too, so the brand rewards those who keep tools for years rather than trading up often.
