Trimmer to perfection
Metabo shrub and grass trimmer SGS 18 LTX QER
A battery-powered 18-volt combination trimmer from Metabo that functions as both a shrub trimmer and a grass trimmer. It is lightweight, precise, and equipped with a quick-change system for easy tool-free blade replacement.
Why it was chosen: This model was selected for its flexible 2-in-1 function, low weight, and user-friendly Quick system, making it suitable for precision work in the garden and for maintaining edges and shrubs.

The Metabo SGS 18 LTX QER is a versatile cordless trimmer that combines two functions in one unit: shrub trimmer and grass trimmer. It is designed for precise trimming of shrubs and grass edges, making it ideal for detailed gardening work.

The trimmer is powered by an 18-volt battery system (battery and charger not included) and comes in a practical case. The low weight of only 0.8 kg without the battery makes it easy to handle and reduces fatigue during extended use.

The Metabo Quick system allows you to switch between the two blades quickly and without tools. The laser-cut, diamond-ground blades ensure a clean and precise cutting result, while the smooth operation contributes to a pleasant working experience.
