The hero among the compact screwdrivers. In a practical set with accessories.

Light, compact and impressively powerful. The 18-volt CXS 18 compact screwdriver is your ideal helper for a wide range of everyday tasks.

Clever details such as the bit depot, the light control and the lid compartment systainer³ make the CXS 18 a compact powerhouse with practical special equipment.
