Pro Tip

- 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.
