The Metabo PowerMaxx BS Basic Set cordless screwdriver and drill is a compact hand tool for screwdriving and drilling in the household, workshop or in the field. With a 12 V power supply, two included lithium-ion batteries and a basic 41-piece accessory in a case, it allows you to quickly start up and perform basic tasks without connecting to the mains. The tool addresses the needs of users who are looking for a portable solution for assembling furniture, fastening elements or drilling in wood and metal in a variety of environments.

With battery replacement without interruption, the tool offers significantly more autonomy. The included LED light illuminates the work area, improving accuracy when working in poorly lit areas or in confined spaces, such as corners or inside cabinets. The ergonomic design makes it easier to handle even during long periods of use.

Key product features

⚖️ Compare features with other products of your choice

Two 2.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries allow for continuous operation, as you can use one while charging the other. This is practical in situations where you need more power in a short time or in remote areas where access to electricity is not always guaranteed. The tool is suitable for basic household repairs, furniture assembly, shelving and other tasks where convenience and quick switching between screwdriving and drilling are key advantages.

With a maximum torque of up to 40 Nm, the machine is designed for working with screws and drill bits in materials such as wood, plastic or thinner metals. This offers sufficient power for most typical tasks at home and in the workshop, although the torque is not intended for very hard materials or more demanding professional tasks. The speed of up to 2000 rpm makes it quick to drill into softer materials or quickly install screws.

The drill uses a conventional brush motor, which leads to slightly higher maintenance compared to brushless models, but does not significantly affect the performance in everyday use. The compactness, lightweight case and extensive accessories allow all the necessary tools to be always at hand, without the need for additional equipment for initial use. LED lighting is especially useful in darker corners where visibility is otherwise limited.

It is important to know

Before buying, it is worth considering whether this cordless drill/driver is suitable for the type of work you plan to do, what your expectations are regarding battery replacement and convenience for home work. The most important things are the appropriate power for the intended materials and the way of use that the included accessories enable.

• If you often screw or drill, the 2 included batteries are a practical solution, allowing you to work continuously without waiting for a charge.
• The compact design and built-in LED light make it easier to work in poorly lit and difficult-to-reach areas – but in very tight spaces a special tool shape may still be required.
• The kit contains a wide range of accessories, which is useful for getting started right away, but additional attachments for special tasks may still be needed for specific tasks.
• Without a hammer function (unless specified), the tool is ideal for wood, plastic and lighter materials; for drilling into harder materials such as masonry, performance can quickly become a limitation.
