Hitachi Power Tools has changed its name to Metabo HPT for North America.

The name change coincides with the launch of the company’s MultiVolt platform.

“MultiVolt gives you the ability to choose either cordless or corded operation without sacrificing portability, power or performance,” the company said in a statement.

“Metabo HPT’s MultiVolt meets the power output demand on a jobsite. MultiVolt tools can accept a 36-volt battery or plug into an outlet with the award-winning AC adapter.”
