Festool DWC 18-4500-BASIC

Overview

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.

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 substructures

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.
