Compact lightweight tool from FLEX 05 May 2025

Headquartered in Germany, FLEX GmbH, a global power tool manufacturer, has expanded its portfolio with the DW 37 12-EC – a 12V drywall screwdriver, combining powerful performance with ease of use and accurate precision.

Weighing less than 1kg, including the 2.5 Ah battery, the DW 37 12-EC enables fatigue-free working over long periods of time and incorporates the latest technology. This includes an auto-start function to ensure energy saving operation, by automatically starting the motor as soon as pressure is applied to the screwdriver. As well as this, a pulse mode means protruding screws can be countersunk precisely and in a controlled manner, without damaging the material. 

Furthermore, the ‘In-Your-Control’ throttle switch enables users to optimise the screwdriver’s speed to the task at hand – for precise and safe use. Additionally, an integrated LED light ensures optimum visibility – with an afterglow function that ensures the light remains on for a few seconds even after the trigger is released. For continuous work, the drywall screwdriver also has a lockable button which, in combination with the auto-start function, enables convenient and uninterrupted operation. 

The screw magazine from FLEX’s 18V series is also compatible with the DW 37 12-EC, eliminating the need for the tedious repositioning of screws. Using the screw magazine also gives users the option of two handed operation, which can help to avoid incorrect screw fastening due to a crooked screw attachment in one handed operation.
