Screwdriving, drilling, percussion drilling and hammer drilling:  The cordless drills such as the Quadrive TDC 18/4, the Quadrive TPC 18/4 percussion drill and the BHC 18 cordless hammer drill are highly versatile.

A specialist tool or one for all applications? The variety of cordless screwdrivers can seem overwhelming.

For renovation or restoration jobs, work is usually carried out inside houses or apartments. Substrate preparation plays an important role, regardless of the customer's preferred covering or coating.
