Original Metabo covering strip — part no. 343353340. This is the small molded trim/covering strip that fits into the tool housing to hide and protect a seam on Metabo corded tools; it’s listed as item 12 on the KU 6870 parts diagram and is supplied as a single replacement piece.

Fits (examples): Metabo KU 6870 series (type numbers 06870002 / 06870003 / 06870423) and related KU‑series nibblers, and is also referenced for the Metabo WBE 700 angle drill (type 00512000 / 600512000 and related variants).

Why this part matters: a cracked or missing covering strip leaves the housing edge exposed and can allow dirt or metal chips to intrude; replacing it restores the original fit-and‑finish and helps protect internal components. The part is the original Metabo replacement specified in the official parts lists.
