The drill and impact are not the target demographic for the AC adapter. With that said they wanted to make sure all 36v tools had compatibilty for it because it is a unique selling point. I do like the idea of the cord for someone who works in their shop and on the go. Reduces pointless wear on batteries in the shop while allowing you to use the same tool on the go. One might argue theres better corded tools, but now you have 2 miter saws or 2 table saws. I actually used the cord for my recip saw more than anything
I think the appeal of the corded power adapter is if the tool is being repetitively used all day near an outlet, but you occasionally do outdoor work. For example, using their 36v mitre saw. That tool is predominantly stationary, but you may need to use it on a jobsite without electricity.
The issue with the "bigger battery better performance" thay were used to on 18/20 and 24v tools, is that the larger batteries have multiple series in parallel, allowing for higher current throughput. If you tested the 18v version of the hammer drill with a 3ah 18v battery vs the 5ah 18v (2.5ah 36v) battery, youd see an increase in performance as the drill now has double the cells to draw current from. These cells are all in series when plugged into a 36v tool so theyre all technically 1p batteries and therefore are limited by the current output of the cells once again. Metabo hpt would need to release a 10ah battery using double the cells of the 5ah battery to get a true 2p 36v battery, which is where we would likely see our first real gains in the 36v from more cells. The more logical solution would be to just refresh the battery with tabless cells or pouch cells. Personally id like to see pouch cells as it would allow a very compact or very high capacity multivolt battery. Dewalt shows just how small and powerful pouch cells can be with the 1.7ps
A while back, we purchased a lot of the Metabo multivolt tools and Metabo was given away extra batteries or ac adapter.... love the hybrid tools but haven't use it much. BTW, when you get a chance, can you review the Metabo 36v SDS-Max hammer drill, DH36DMAQ2M? Thanks 👍❤️🙏
IMO Cordless tool appeal is in safety and/or convenience. You really don't want cords on ladders, or in bundles of 5 tools. It keeps your work zone clean and safe. But if you are going to setup a "station" for a table saw, circ saw, or miter saw, for a ton of repetitive cuts...you WANT corded, if you have the option. This is how the corded adapter fits into the jobsite scenario. Save your batteries for the roaming hand tools.
yoive obviously never had to use a cordless router and or orbital sander for like an hour straight n kill 8 batteries lol... thas what the corded adapter comes in use for... or for the bigger tools that you prolly dont take everywhere w you,, but its nice to have the option when its needed.. miter saws or table saws or like their plunge router... what if you get a cordless stationary tool that staya home,,, u dont wanna have to swap batteries on that either. tbh i dont see why other brands haven't jumped on the idea,,, in a perfect world id imagine every tool will be cordless but have the adapter for those bigger tools that stay put. that way it can be cordless if u need to use it somewhere else, or if the powers out. plus itll be nice option if like the cord was cut or sumn,, just needa pop in a battery until u get a new adapter lol
Nobody buys a 1/2" hammer drill to run screws into wood.. Throw a hole saw in that drill and let it eat.. You missed a big opportunity.. You could have been the first reviewer to put that drill through its paces.. Im still not sure what this drill is capable of after watching this video..
Nice, this is probably the only review review on this drill and it’s pretty good. I got one for 66 bucks a while back. Great tool

For sure. I highly doubt you'd be using the AC adapter for a drill 😅
Based on your review, I went out and purchased two more kits today. It is on sale and want to start my Christmas shopping early this year 🤣🤣🤣 👍❤️🙏

Really cool vids
Good review what type of magnetic bit holder on the drilling part in the lumber with the screws?
yoive obviously never had to use a cordless router and or orbital sander for like an hour straight n kill 8 batteries lol... thas what the corded adapter comes in use for... or for the bigger tools that you prolly dont take everywhere w you,, but its nice to have the option when its needed.. miter saws or table saws or like their plunge router... what if you get a cordless stationary tool that staya home,,, u dont wanna have to swap batteries on that either.
tbh i dont see why other brands haven't jumped on the idea,,, in a perfect world id imagine every tool will be cordless but have the adapter for those bigger tools that stay put. that way it can be cordless if u need to use it somewhere else, or if the powers out. plus itll be nice option if like the cord was cut or sumn,, just needa pop in a battery until u get a new adapter lol
weird...
And chance you have the new HPT 36V drill on the way?
Unfortunately i do not, but maybe i'll see if i can find a place to get one.
where did you buy it for $99.00?
So how'd you get the clutch settings to go all the way to hammer drill?
eventually, after using it a bit longer, it was able to make that transition. A couple drops probably helped.
Lessons for beginners on drill tools.power on .drill a hole 's , please....
