Metabo MPTDH330 1800 W 240 V Thicknesser UK Review 

The Metabo  MPTDH330 1800 W 240 V Thicknesser is a pretty good seller as thicknessers go. Metabo is a very well respected brand who started producing drills in the 1930s.

They make good quality products for the DIY enthusiast as well as the seasoned professional and you can be sure that any tool you buy from their range will be fit for the job.

This one has an RRP of £499, but we have spotted it a bit cheaper on line, where you get this model for around £420 or even less. This model has a 1.8 kw motor that is easily powerful enough for most jobs and the unit is lightweight and portable.

Who actually really needs a thicknesser like this? It may be hard to justify buying a unit at this sort of price but if you are a bit of a tool and machinery addict like myself this is a really handy tool if you do a bit of joinery. Its not something you might use every day but they are superb at what they do and they take a lot of work out of a job. 

It is an expensive item but I know from experience, never to be tempted to buy a cheap version of a tool as I have been disappointed so many times with products that were just not fit for purpose. If you are like me then you like to buy the best that you can afford and get something that works properly, is useful and most importantly that it lasts.

This is a machine that doesn't take up much room and is highly portable so its really great if you are working away from the home as this thicknesser can be moved about and set up virtually anywhere.

A very quick video review

We have looked over all the video reviews and found this great short presentation on this tool. It gives you an instant idea of what to expect as well as telling you all the features and spec in and easy to understand format.

I hope you enjoy watching it as I always think its much better to see a tool in action rather than just reading about it or seeing pictures. This guy is particularly good at explaining the features and he is well known for demonstrating tools.
