Metabo have come a long way since then. The developments over the last 90 plus years has seen the brand become synonymous with a top end quality that perhaps is not as recognised on the power tool stage as it should be. Over the years Metabo enjoyed rapid growth in the power tool market and developed amongst other things a reputation for quality metalworking tools. Their grinders saw them increase their market awareness based on a fairly indestructible grinder which had a clutch and a very dependable motor. 1950s saw a particular growth for metabo when they moved to larger premises to cope with demand.
