Metabo Corporation introduced its cordless magnetic core drill, the company said. The new MAG 28 LTX 32 utilizes a 25.2 V Li-Ion battery to power the tool as well as a permanent magnet, independent from the battery, which allows the use of a mag drill in remote and previously inaccessible environments.

This cordless electromagnetic core drill, which can be used with annular cutters, spiral drills and countersinks, utilizes a variable force rare earth magnet. This unique magnet offers up to 2,500 lbs. of holding force, which can be adjusted for precise positioning when drilling on vertical, horizontal and sloped surfaces. The drill has a prism-shaped magnetic base that enables users to work on pipe as well, further increasing the flexibility of this drill throughout steel construction applications, the company said. A safety strap is supplied for working on overhead surfaces.

This new cordless mag drill features a maximum drilling diameter of 1-1/4" with annular cutters, 1/2" with a spiral drill and a maximum drilling depth of 2". The magnetic stand has a maximum stroke of 6-5/16". The 2-speed tool boasts 380 or 680 no load revolutions per minute and is designed with a dual-level, oil-immersed gearbox for speed and torque optimization.

The MAG 28 LTX 32 features electronic thermal overload protection, jam protection and an integrated gravity feed coolant container to help ensure the longevity of the 25.2 V motor.

The cordless tool's 25.2 V, 3.0 Ah Li-Ion battery pack charges rapidly in a 15 minute charger. Metabo's air-cooled charging technology cools the battery pack during charging to shorten the charging process by up to 30%, diminishing tool down-time and boosting useable tool life per charge. A spare battery pack can also be stored in the drill's stand.

A Weldon 3/4" tool holder, ejector pin, chuck adaptor and geared chuck, chuck key, MT 2 drift key, safety strap, Allen key and two 25.2 V, 3 Ah Li-Ion battery packs come standard with Metabo's MAG 28 LTX 32.
