The saw weighs only 10.4 lb.
Both tools utilise Metabo's patented air-cooled battery system to increase performance and keep the tool working longer.
The charging system cools both the battery and the charger, keeping the battery at the optimum charging temperature.
This results in 30% faster charging and an increased service life of up to 2,000 charges.
The combination kit includes both tools, an AC30 charger, two 18V 2.0 Ah Ni-Cad batteries and a heavy duty carrying case.
