Metabo's Combo Set 2.8.4 suits joiners, fitters and woodworkers who drill into timber and metal rather than brick. It pairs the BS 18 LT BL brushless drill driver with the SSD 18 LT 200 impact driver, and the listed 200 Nm figure for the driver is among the higher ones in this group of twin kits. The other draw is that both tools sit in a metaBOX 145 L hard case.

- Impact tool
- SSD 18 LT 200, 200 Nm
- Batteries
- 2 batteries (size not stated)
- Charger
- Included
- Case
- metaBOX 145 L
In its favour
- The impact tool is listed at 200 Nm for long screws and bolts.
- Two batteries and a charger come in a stackable metaBOX 145 L.
- Both tools run on the same 18 V batteries, so either can work while the other pack charges.
Good to know
- The drill is a drill driver, so there is no hammer mode for brick.
- Battery capacity is not stated in the listing; check before you buy.
Our take
What the listing actually tells you
This is a thin listing. The title names the two tools, two batteries, a charger and the metaBOX 145 L. The specs give 200 Nm, 18 V and a weight of 4.5 kg, while one bullet mentions 3170 g. Battery capacity is not stated, although the amperage field reads 5.2, which may hint at the pack size. Treat that as unconfirmed and ask the seller before ordering.
The listing does not give the drill's torque, speeds or chuck size. If those numbers matter for your work, look up the BS 18 LT BL on Metabo's own site.
Drill driver, not combi
The BS 18 LT BL is a drill driver, which means there is no hammer action. It will drill wood, metal and plastic and drive screws, but it is not the tool for drilling brick for wall plugs. For a home user who mounts a lot of things on masonry walls, that is a real gap and would mean buying an SDS or combi drill later.
For woodwork, the lack of hammer is not a loss. Drill drivers are often shorter and lighter at the head than combi models, which helps in cabinets and between joists.
Next to the other twin kits
The Bosch GSB 18V-110 C and GDR 18V-210 C kit and the DeWalt DCK276P2 both include combi drills with percussion, and both clearly list two 5 Ah packs. The Metabo wins on stated driver torque against the DeWalt, which gives none, but it trails both on how much the listing confirms.
The listing does not name the battery platform or say which other Metabo tools the packs fit, so check compatibility on the Metabo site if you plan to expand.
Verdict
Buy the Combo Set 2.8.4 if your work is timber, metal and fixings rather than masonry, and you like a hard metaBOX case. If you need a hammer mode or want confirmed battery sizes, the Bosch GSB 18V-110 C and GDR 18V-210 C set or the DeWalt DCK276P2 are safer choices.
