What “best” can mean in this folder

Sorting by stars would crown the brushless body, 5.0 from one review and no paragraph, or the W 750-125, 4.9 from 12 with two German lines. This shortlist does not. The WEV 15-125 is 4.6 from 205, and none of the first 40 texts is labelled United Kingdom. Among rows with a UK-labelled review and at least 50 reviews, the W 18 7-125 has the higher star line: 4.6 from 158 against 4.5 from 222 on the 240 V WEV. That is a comparison of star lines, not a cutting test. The checks before a shortlist are the buying guide.

If you already own CAS packs

The W 18 7-125, order 602371850, is £68.99 with no battery and no charger, at 8,500 rpm and 1.6 kg. A bullet names CAS 18 V packs and chargers, with no amp-hour size. The box list is a guard, a flange, a two-hole nut and a side handle. A Swedish review says there is no quick nut. An Italian review prefers a pack larger than 2 Ah. The brushless body at £74.95 lists 10,000 rpm, and its amazon bullets do not say CAS. One 5.0 with no paragraph is not a second top pick. The missing pack is on the cordless or corded page.

If the job is a 13 A socket

Start at 230 V or 240 V, then read the plug. The W 750-125 at £42.86 is 240 V, 750 W and a fixed 11,500 rpm, with a two-hole nut. The plug is not described. The 240 V WEV 11-125, order 603625000, is £94.00 and 1,100 W, with M-Quick in a bullet. Metabo UK lists 2,800–10,500 rpm. This amazon file does not print that range. The two UK reviews say a two-pin plug and an adaptor. Electrical Safety First expects a UK 3-pin plug at home. Do not file the pins. The WEV 15-125, order 600468000, is the 1,550 W, 230 V row at £142.50, with M-Quick and a VibraTech handle, if you will check the plug.

If the board is 110 V

The house rows stay in the house. The WP 11-125, order 603624390, is £103.16 and 110 V, at a fixed 11,000 rpm. Its bullets name a dead-man paddle, the only one in this set, and there is no star line. The 110 V WEV, order 603625390, is £94.00 with 2,800–10,500 per minute and 4.6 from two reviews with no text. Neither runs from a 13 A socket by itself. The transformer chain is the 110 V or 230 V page. The £174.29 set prints no volts, so leave it until the plate is confirmed.

Common questions

Which listing is the top pick, and for whom?
The W 18 7-125 at £68.99, if you already own CAS 18 V packs. It is 4.6 from 158, the higher star line among rows with a UK-labelled review and at least 50 reviews. There is no battery in the box. Without a CAS pack it is not the pick, because the price is the body only.
Why is 5.0 from one review not the winner?
The brushless body has that 5.0 and no review text. One rating does not show a UK job, and the bullets do not say CAS. The W 750-125 at 4.9 from 12 is the same thin file, two German lines. A higher star on a tiny sample loses to a larger file that contains UK-labelled text.
Is the £42.86 W 750-125 the best value?
It is the cheapest Metabo here, at 240 V, 750 W and 11,500 rpm, with a two-hole nut. It is not the best value pick. The written sample is two German lines, and the plug is not described. The price is established. A value claim is not.
When is the £142.50 WEV 15-125 the one to buy?
When you want 1,550 W at 230 V, with M-Quick and the VibraTech handle in the box, and you will check the plug. The amazon price is £142.50. The 205 reviews are not a UK sample in the first 40 texts, and one review said a fast brake was missing. The HT variant in other articles is not order 600468000.
Which 110 V body has a dead-man switch?
The WP 11-125 at £103.16. A bullet names a paddle with a dead-man function. The 110 V WEV at £94.00 prints a speed range and does not name that paddle. The WP file has no star line, so you are buying the switch description without a review sample.
Should I buy the £174 set because it includes a diamond disc?
Only after the voltage is confirmed. The set names a 125 x 22 mm diamond disc and a case, at 850 W, with a two-hole nut. Amazon prints no volts and no stars. The disc does not answer the socket. A retailer page for 603611510 is not this listing’s voltage line.
