Compact design

With a length of 6-5/32" (15.6 cm) and a height of 7" (17.7 cm), the CXS 12 is extremely compact and ergonomic. The ergonomic C-shape of the handle puts the user more in line with the bit for more precise work and less fatigue.

Compact 12 V battery pack

Bits onboard

The integrated recessed bit holder provides space for multiple bits - magnetically secured against falling out.

Impressive performance

The CXS 12 also performs impressively when working with Forstner drill bits up to 1-3/8" (35 mm) and screws up to ¼" x 7-7/8" (6x2 mm) in softwood (reference value for countersunk screws with partial thread in softwood. The maximum screw size that can be used varies depending on the screw type and wood type).

Optimal lighting

With the integrated LED light, you can work precisely even in dark areas - continuous lighting, afterglow or LED off can be controlled with the onboard dial.

Designed for convenience

Always at your side, keeping your hands free when needed: The belt clip can be positioned for right and left-handed users.

CENTROTEC tool chuck

For instantly changing between drilling, countersinking and driving: The CENTROTEC tool chuck, which has proven itself since 21, is a chuck and bit holder in one. For use with numerous CENTROTEC accessories.

Unique system width and perfect system compatibility

Owing to the smart FastFix interface, all attachments of the current 18 V drills are compatible with the CXS 12. One compact driver - so many different applications.

In the tightest of spaces

The angle attachment is perfect for work around corners and reaching concealed screws at tight angles. Bits can also be inserted into the direct holder of the spindle in narrow spaces.

Chuck for standard tools

The removable chuck can hold bits up to 3/8" (1 mm) shank and is included with the drill. Tool-free mounting via the FastFix interface.

Precise work

With the rear handle position, the ergonomic C-shape puts the user more in line with the bit for more precise work and less fatigue.
