Metabo ST 18 LT 130 jigsaw — specs & overview

The Metabo ST 18 LT 130 is a cordless jigsaw powered by an 18V battery system. It uses a brushless motor to manage power delivery during heavy cuts. This tool offers a stroke length of 22.0 mm. The variable speed range runs from 1000 up to 3500 strokes per minute.

You can adjust the pendulum action to change how aggressively the blade moves through material. High speeds suit thin materials, while slower settings provide better control for delicate work. This model handles wood up to 130 mm thick and steel up to 10 mm. It weighs 1.5 kg.

Strengths

• The brushless motor increases efficiency when cutting through dense timber or metal.

Things to consider
