Description
Specialised in drywall construction in every detail. The compact design and the balanced centre of gravity ensure optimum weight distribution – even overhead. The magazine attachment for collated screws makes it the first choice for fast and accurate one-handed screwdriving – with accurate depth and high cycle speeds. Thanks to the innovative stop-and-go function, the brushless EC-TEC motor only works when it is needed and enables up to 40% greater screwdriving performance for each battery charge.
- Robust and durable: brushless EC motor that requires no maintenance for a long service life, maximum efficiency and durability
- Higher speeds for driving in multiple sets of screws: Rapid change to magazine attachment without using tools – for processing collated screws
- Energy-saving start/stop function: Motor only works when it is needed
- Work with precision: wear-free, electronic switch-off system for accurate insertion depths
- Individual battery power: For maximum ease of use for shorter and less demanding applications with the 3.0 Ah Compact battery pack Or for full power and endurance with the 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack (powerful enough for any task, yet 20% lighter and 50% more compact than a 5.0 Ah standard battery pack) Or use existing battery packs with the Basic version or select your preferred battery separately
- Available in two variants: DWC 18-2500 with optimum torque for screwdriving gypsum fibre and wooden boards. DWC 18-4500 with high speeds for series screw connections with maximum efficiency – especially suitable for plasterboard
- Extremely long-lasting: The Li-HighPower Compact batteries are extremely durable thanks to their high-current rechargeable cells And, of course, fully covered by Festool Service Including our full repair service that is free of charge Fast, thorough and – also completely unique for battery packs and chargers: Nothing to pay in the first three years
Main Applications
- The cordless specialist for drywalling with plasterboards, chipboards or OSB panels
- DWC 18-4500 with high speeds for accurate series screw connections – especially suitable for plasterboard
- Fastening plasterboards and wooden boards to metal and wooden substructure
Features
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.
Accurate insertion depths
The depth stop can be attached without tools and adjusted in increments of 0.1 mm. This ensures that the screws are secure at consistent insertion depths. This eliminates the need for time-consuming reworking from the very beginning.
Automatic start/stop
The motor only runs when screws are inserted – and in AUTO mode, the user does not even have to press the main switch. This increases the number of screws inserted per battery charge.
Enormous endurance
The brushless EC-TEC motor requires no maintenance and represents a high level of efficiency and an almost unlimited service life. In conjunction with the Li-ion battery packs, an increase of up to 40% in screwdriving performance per battery charge is possible.
Electronic
Speed control for adjusting to the working material.
EC-TEC Brushless Motor
The EC-TEC drive concept generates an extraordinary amount of power while consuming extremely low amounts of energy.
Start/Stop Function
AUTO mode, also without having to press the main switch.
Forward and Reverse Rotation
For screwing and unscrewing screws.
Electronic Monitoring
Electronic monitoring of the coil temperature protects against damage to the motor.
