Compressed air, whenever and wherever you need it – doesn't that sound fantastic? Imagine you're on a construction site, in a garden shed, or in a remote corner of your workshop, and you urgently need compressed air for your nailer, blow gun, or for inflating tires. No power outlets in sight! This is exactly where the Metabo Power 160-5 18 LTX BL OF Cordless Compressor comes into play. This little powerhouse is your mobile companion for all compressed air applications.

Cordless Freedom for Your Projects

Forget annoying cables and the search for the nearest power outlet! The Metabo Power 160-5 is a true cordless compressor that offers you maximum flexibility thanks to its powerful 18-volt battery (not included, but compatible with the CAS-System). Whether you're working on interior finishing, processing wood, or in the plumbing and service sector – this device makes you independent.

Nice to know: The Brushless Revolution

The Metabo Power 160-5 is equipped with a brushless motor. This isn't a marketing gimmick, but real technology that benefits you! Brushless motors are not only smaller and lighter but also significantly more efficient and durable than conventional brushed motors. Less wear, more power – perfect for a cordless device!

Oil-free and Low-maintenance: It Couldn't Be Easier

Another huge plus: The Metabo Power 160-5 is an oil-free piston compressor. For you, this means:

• No annoying refilling of oil.
• No oil changes and therefore less service effort.
• No risk of oil leaking during transport – super practical when you take it in your car!

This leaves more time for your actual work and less for device maintenance.

Convincing Power: Technical Details at a Glance

Don't be fooled by its compact size. With 8 bar maximum pressure and a 5-liter tank, the Metabo Power 160-5 delivers enough power for a variety of compressed air applications. The intake capacity of 120 l/min and an effective delivery volume of 60 l/min (at 80% max. pressure) ensure that you can work quickly and efficiently. Whether for nailers and staplers, a cartridge gun, grease gun, tire inflation gauge, or a blow gun – this compressor is versatile.

Smart Details for Your Daily Work

Metabo has also thought of the small but important things:

• Two manometers: This allows you to keep an eye on the tank and working pressure at all times and adapt them optimally to your tool.
• Rubberized feet: For a secure and non-slip stand on any surface.
• Universal quick coupling: Compatible with all common systems (EURO, ARO/Orion and ISO) – maximum flexibility when choosing your compressed air tools.
• Battery depot: A clever feature to keep a second battery close at hand for uninterrupted work.

Nice to know: The Power behind 18V

The 18-volt system is the gold standard in the world of cordless tools. It offers the perfect balance of performance and handiness. With the right Metabo LiHD batteries, you get the most out of your compressor and benefit from extremely long runtimes and high performance.

Price-Performance Ratio: Your Advantage as a Solo Device

The Metabo Power 160-5 is supplied as a solo device, meaning without a battery and charger. This may seem like a disadvantage at first glance, but for many of you, it's a big advantage! If you already own batteries and chargers from Metabo or other CAS partners, you save money by not buying unnecessary components. You simply use your existing infrastructure and efficiently expand your tool assortment.
