Different by Design
Festool drills look different, because they are different. Crafted to the highest level of German engineering, Festool drills offer a level of quality not found in other drills. From the EC-TEC® brushless motor on the C 12, to the interchangeable Centrotec® and FastFix® chucks on both the C 12 and TDK 15.6, these drills were designed to work the way you work.
Two Power Tools: Endless Possibilities
Whether you need a small, lightweight drill, or one with incredible torque, Festool has a drill for you. The C 12 comes with a super-efficient brushless motor and a compact design, while the TDK 15.6 sports the more familiar T handle design. Both exhibit excellent balance and are ergonomically designed to make drilling and driving more pleasant.
- 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. 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: Five Drills in One
Thanks to Festool's innovative FastFix chuck system, the T+3 cordless drill is incredibly versatile and does the work of five drills in one. (1) The eccentric chuck is perfect for corners and against adjoining edges. (2) The keyless drill chuck can be used with drill and driver bits up to 1/2" in diameter. (3) For lighter weight and a more compact footprint, use the smaller, lighter Centrotec chuck with its full array of interchangable drill and driver bits. (4) The most unique is the right-angle chuck which provides a 90° angle to the drive motor for tight spaces. The eccentric and right-angle chucks can both swivel a full 360 degrees with 16 locking positions. (5) The optional depth stop chuck provides consistent, precise depth settings regardless of workpiece material. If that's still too few options, you can also use standard hex driver bits in the drill with no chuck attached. The T+3 cordless drill set includes all chucks except the depth stop chuck.
The T+3: Bringing the Power
All the versatility of the T+3 cordless drill is combined with a robust design that features a long-lasting, energy efficient brushless motor, compact transmission, and electronic health monitoring. Brushless motors offer significant advantages over motors with brushes, including higher efficiency and reliability, reduced noise, and longer service life to name a few. This helps the T+3 cordless drill outperform other drills that would otherwise be in the same class. Nearly all of Festool's power tools feature intelligent electronic monitoring and feedback which makes the tool smarter. In the case of the T+3, this technology protects the motor from overload, provides an electronic (rather than mechanical) clutch feature, and an intelligent drill mode with an electronic clutch override, as well as other innovative features.
Cordless Drill and Driving Applications
Drilling can pose some of the most challenging operations in construction and assembly. Tight tolerances, cramped spaces, odd angles, thick materials, and precise depth requirements are just a few of the obstacles faced when drilling or driving.
The versatility of the Centrotec chuck design enables the user to drill and drive with great precision in just about every situation. FastFix right angle and eccentric chucks help you get into tight spaces and around corners. Use the depth stop chuck to flawlessly set screws in virtually any material.
Different battery options allow you to choose between lighter weight or longer run times. A broad assortment of Centrotec drilling, driving, and specialty bits are available to make completing any task easier.
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.
