Arduous work:
With its low weight, the DWC 18 provides optimum conditions for constant yet effortless work – even overhead. In combination with the EC-TEC motor and the innovative stop-and-go function, the lightweight Compact battery packs ensure maximum output per battery charge.

Extremely durable:
All components are designed for extreme durability. The new EC-TEC motor is brushless and therefore requires no maintenance. The electronic switch-off also ensures a long service life.

Product details

Effortless work
Ideal for screw joints above head height: The 3.1 Ah Compact battery pack weighs only 400 grams – ideal when the focus is on complete ease of use. The 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack is recommended for more power-intensive applications. Powerful enough for any task, yet 20% lighter and 50% more compact than a 5.2 Ah standard battery pack.

One-handed operation
With the magazine attachment, you have one hand completely free to push plasterboard into position or work on ceilings, for example.

Simply faster
The magazine attachment is suitable for all standard 25–55 mm collated screws. Perfect for fast series screw connections.

Matter of cleanliness
Inserting screws into plasterboard always creates dust. This is not a problem because the magazine can be dismantled in seconds without tools and cleaned quickly and easily.
