Festool Drill Guide
The right drill for every application.
Can a cordless drill get any better? Yes, it can. Festool always thinks one step ahead, and the C12, TDK and T+3 series are packed full of many innovations: EC-TEC® brushless motor on the C12 and T+3, Centrotec® and FastFix® chucks, and a comfortable, lightweight design. For exceptional power in a lightweight and ergonomic design, tackle your work with the Festool solution.
Three tools, one philosophy: maximum handling comfort. Do you perform assembly work where you have to continuously change between two or three tools or purchase a machine that has sufficient power but is simply too heavy or bulky? The C12, TDK and T+3 were developed because Festool also asked this question. With superb ergonomics, low weight, durable motors and the FastFix® interchangeable chuck system, Festool cordless drills can tackle any situation and make you more efficient. FastFix® attachments and the ingenious Centrotec® quick bit changing system allow you to complete different tasks using the same tool: drilling and driving in close quarters or against adjacent surfaces combined with rapid bit change to suit your application.
The C12
The Festool C12 is the lightest 12V drill on the market and the first cordless drill with a brushless motor. Lift a pound less each time you drill or drive without sacrificing any power. That's 200 fewer pounds over the course of a typical day. As for longevity, the C12 will drive up to one million screws before it needs to be replaced. Based on the revolutionary EC-TEC® motor technology, the C12 incorporates a clever arrangement of motor, transmission, and battery, allowing an extremely short design: the C12 never needs more than 6" (15 cm) space.
The TDK 15.6 CE
The Festool TDK packs big power into extremely compact dimensions for tremendous all-round utility. Both TDK models accept the Centrotec® chuck to make bit changes a snap - literally. The TDK also takes our FastFix® right angle chuck, depth-stop chuck and eccentric chuck for added flexibility. Add exceptional controllability and great ergonomics, and you have the ultimate all-day, all-purpose drill driver. The remarkably compact transmission gives you 21 torque settings and 2 speeds, so you can work fast without damaging fasteners and materials. Sink screws to exactly the depth you want simply by setting the right torque level. The wraparound softgrip and onboard bit stowage add all-day comfort and convenience.
The T+3
The Festool T+3 represent the most evolved and intelligent drills available in the market today. Lithium Ion power and run-time is now paired with Festool's proven brushless motor technology to create an unprecedented Drill-Driving combination. Brushless motors offer significant advantages over motors with brushes, including higher efficiency and reliability, reduced noise, and longer service life to name a few. The T+3 cordless drills offer some of the most advanced battery technology available for portable power tools. Battery cells are carefully tested and selected to find matched sets to enhance cell balancing, a technique which ensures equal charge and discharge cycles thus prolonging battery life and efficiency.
The Centrotec® Chuck
Festool inventiveness covers every aspect of power tools - even the chuck. The Centrotec® is not just another quick-change accessory. It actually replaces the regular straight chuck. That means there's no extra length and no extra wobble. The Centrotec® is light, about a half pound lighter than conventional chucks - which makes a big difference on a long job. The Centrotec® chuck fits all Festool drills with FastFix® interface.
The Festool FastFix® Chucks
The FastFix® right angle chuck lets you work at a right angle from the axis. You can position it at any angle relative to the drill body - up, down, to the sides - at 22.50° increments. The FastFix® eccentric chuck offsets the bit to the side of the chuck. This lets you drill and drive fasteners straight, even right up against sidewalls. Both are keyless and snap on and off in seconds, without tools.
You can expect more from Festool power tools: more innovation, higher quality, superlative service and ultimately, more for your money. Though you may initially spend more than you would on some other brands, Festool power tools quickly pay for themselves with their time-saving features and benefits, quality, workmanship and unsurpassed service life.
