How it works

Using the Metabo SGS 18 LTX Q is incredibly intuitive. First, use the tool-free Quick System buttons to snap your chosen blade (grass or shrub) into the housing. Slide your fully charged 18V CAS battery onto the base of the handle until it clicks securely. Grip the slim, rubberised handle, engage the safety switch with your thumb, and squeeze the main trigger. The diamond-ground blades will immediately start oscillating for clean, fast cuts. When you are finished, release the trigger for an instant blade stop, remove the battery, and slide the protective slipcase over the blades.

The Ultimate 2-in-1 Landscaping Solution

Maintaining a pristine garden or commercial estate usually requires an arsenal of different tools. Tidy grass edges require one set of shears, while shaping topiary bushes requires another.

Metabo solves this real-world problem with their clever Quick System. This single unit comes with two interchangeable attachments: a dedicated shrub blade and a grass edging blade. You can seamlessly swap between tasks in seconds without reaching for a single screwdriver.

Precision Laser-Cut Performance

When you are doing detailed landscaping, a blunt blade will chew and tear the foliage, leaving your plants looking ragged and prone to disease.

These blades are laser-cut and diamond-ground. This ensures an exceptionally sharp, clean cut every single time. You get the practical advantage of rapid, precise trimming and the emotional benefit of knowing your garden will look immaculate with minimal effort.

Say Goodbye to Hand Fatigue

Using heavy machinery for detailed, intricate trimming tasks is exhausting and bad for your joints.

Metabo engineered this tool to be incredibly lightweight and smooth-running. Combined with a slim, rubberised grip area, it dramatically reduces operator fatigue. You can comfortably guide the shears around complex topiary shapes or long border edges without straining your wrists.

Powered by the CAS 18V System

This model is supplied as a bare unit (without batteries or a charger). It is part of the Cordless Alliance System (CAS). This means if you already own 18V battery packs from Metabo or any other CAS partner brand, they will slot straight in. It is a highly cost-effective way to expand your toolkit without paying for redundant chargers and batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this come with a battery and charger?

No. This specific model (601609850) is supplied as a "bare unit" or "body only." It does not include a battery or charger, making it a highly cost-effective choice if you already own 18V Metabo or CAS batteries.

Can I use these standing up to edge my lawn?

Yes, absolutely. While it is a hand-held tool out of the box, it is fully compatible with the Metabo stable telescopic rod (sold separately). This accessory lets you precisely cut lawn edges while standing up, saving your back from unnecessary strain.

Are the blades difficult to change over?

Not at all. The Metabo Quick System is completely tool-free. You simply press the release buttons on the side of the housing, slide one blade out, and snap the other one firmly into place.
