But in the case of Metabo and Hitachi, it just seems to work like you would have expected. But things could get pretty weird in a hurry (ever hear of Chicken Foot?). But how would they improve, if at all? It’s like when two good bands form a supergroup. I say this to explain my skepticism of combining two companies that make tools that I like. Rather than raising one company to the high standards of the other, DeWalt wound up with a bad reputation for about a decade before righting the ship in the last couple of decades. Think of DeWalt and Emglo and then DeWalt and Black and Decker in the 1990s. All the while they are riding the reputation down. I have also used Metabo’s grinders in the past and have been impressed with their innovation and sturdy build.īut the danger of a merger is that after the financial guys get involved, they tend to water down the products in the short-sighted view of revenue. Their miter saws and pneumatic nailers in particular are reliable and perform understatedly well. Personally, I have loved the quality of Hitachi’s tools for some time. As you probably already know, Metabo and Hitachi merged to form the supergroup Metabo HPT (more about that in a minute). I have to admit, I underestimated the Metabo drill set. Will they be able to deliver? That’s what we intend to find out in this review of the Metabo HPT driver and drill set. However, Metabo HPT seems to be trying to strike the balance between the two and appeal to both consumer groups with the HPT combo kit. Typically, manufacturers are targeting either the contractor or the homeowner. The cordless drill has become ubiquitous on job sites and around the home.
