The two 18V CXS 18 and TXS 18 compact screwdrivers are two first-class helpers for a wide range of everyday tasks trades people. The two all-rounders do not show any weaknesses in tight areas or corners.

Compact designed and impressive performance for the compact class, the latest products are the ingredients of the two cordless drill/drivers CXS 18 and TXS 18. The new aces in the compact class master any assembly task, no matter how demanding, with gusto thanks to their powerful brushless EC-TEC motor. As the name suggests, the two compact drill screwdrivers are available in the C and T design. The unique C-shape, which is typical to Festool, allows for precise work in the drilling and screwdriving axis. While the classic T shape ensures easy handling and a short distance from the workpiece. Both C and T designs are technically identical – regardless of whether it's the T or the iconic C design: When it comes to ergonomics, both all-rounders are impressive. A fast tool change is secured by the FastFix interface and the CENTROTEC system. Numerous attachments can be used with the CXS/TXS 18 and extend the radius of action enormously.

Full battery power

The CXS/TXS 18 is optimally equipped with bit garage, LED light control, belt clip and a powerful 18V battery. In addition, the new CXS/TXS 18 leaves nothing to be desired for easier work. The CXS/TXS 18 also impresses with its performance during power-intensive work with Forstner drills up to 35mm and screws up to 6 x 240 mm in softwood (countersunk screw with partial thread). All 18V battery packs fit on the CXS/TXS 18 (except for the Ergo battery pack).

"Battery technology and battery-powered devices are a significant trend on the tools market. We have tailored our strategy to reflect this and are continuously expanding our portfolio. We're not just blindly pursuing a strategy of using battery technology just for the sake of it – we want to take a more purposeful approach to ascertain how battery technology might best serve the application in question. We want to optimise the results so that the products are perfect for their applications, and we want to make work easier, safer and better for tradespeople," said Sascha Menges, CEO, Festool GmbH.

The QUADRIVE TPC 18 cordless impact screwdriver and the ExoActive exoskeleton uill be released in the course of 2023.
