Its ergonomic C-shape places your grip directly in line with the drilling and screwdriving axis for better control, more accurate power transfer and precise work in confined spaces.

It offers a strong mix of comfort, flexibility and system intelligence, with 13 torque settings, electronic speed control, brushless EC-TEC motor technology and a practical Systainer³ layout that keeps accessories close at hand. The included CENTROTEC tool chuck, keyless chuck and angle attachment give this compact drill exceptional versatility for site fitting, workshop tasks and installation jobs where access and precision matter just as much as power.

Pro Tip

Keep the angle attachment fitted for cabinet work, corner fixings and awkward installation points where standard drill access is limited.
Use the CENTROTEC chuck for quick drilling and screwdriving changes during assembly work, then switch to the keyless chuck for standard cylindrical-shank drill bits.
Set the torque carefully on a test piece before repetitive fastening to get cleaner, more consistent screw seating.
For overhead fitting and detail work, take advantage of the drill’s low weight and compact body to reduce fatigue and improve accuracy.
