Festool C 18 LI-BASIC

Overview

Enjoy full flexibility when drilling and screwdriving: the completely electronic torque adjustment, CENTROTEC quick-change system, as well as angle attachment, eccentric attachment and depth stop can handle any drilling or screwdriving task. The combination of the Li-HighPower battery pack and maintenance-free brushless EC-TEC motor means that the C 18 cordless drill is light, long-lasting and durable. The cordless screwdriver and battery pack are completely covered with the Festool SERVICE, giving you peace of mind for your day-to-day work. Available in unique C-design or – depending on personal preference – in T-design as the T 18+3.  The Centrotec chuck is compatible only with Festool Accessories. This combination reduces the length and weight of the drill and allows fast change over.

Features

• Intelligent motor management - The brushless EC-TEC motor is wear-free and converts the energy from the battery into optimum power with virtually no losses. The electronic motor management also guarantees maximum service life: Microprocessors monitor and control the temperature, voltage and current consumption of the motor, electronics and battery.
• Durable and extremely light - The Li-HighPower Compact battery guarantees full power, while weighing considerably less. To provide even more endurance, the brushless and maintenance-free EC-TEC motor only takes as much power as required by each screwing task.
• Precise work - With the handle positioned on the drilling and screwing axis, the handy and perfectly balanced C-design enables it to be positioned extremely accurately.
• Ideal for tight spaces - As with all cordless drills from Festool, the bits can also be inserted in the direct bit holder of the spindle on the C 18.
• Six bits always to hand - The practical bit holder provides space for up to six bits – magnetically secured against falling out.
• In the smallest of spaces - The angle attachment is perfect for work around corners and reaching concealed screws at tight angles.
• Living on the edge - Every screw can be reached with the eccentric adapter.
• CENTROTEC quick-change system - Fast change between drilling, countersinking and screwdriving: The CENTROTEC quick-change system is a chuck and bit holder in one and, at the same time, 50% smaller and 80% lighter than a standard drill chuck. The hexagonal tools are centred using balls – for optimised power transmission and ten times higher true running.
• Chuck for standard tools - The chuck with a standard width of up to 13 mm also enables the use of all standard bits and drill bits. Tool-free mounting via the FastFix interface.
• As versatile as your work - The C18 can easily adapt to whatever work you're doing. The flexibility of quick and easy chuck attachment changes means the C18 will always get the job done faster.
• Optimum power performance - Fully electronic torque adjustment and shut-off for optimum power development in all situations. The torque setting for screwdriving is retained, even when drilling takes place at maximum torque.
• Optimal lighting - The integrated LED light permits precise work even in dark corners.
• AIRSTREAM Battery - AIRSTREAM technology cools batteries for faster use and significantly increased charging capacity.
• EC-TEC Brushless Motor - The EC-TEC drive concept generates an extraordinary amount of power while consuming extremely low amounts of energy.
• Electronic - Speed control for adjusting to the working material.
• FastFix - Makes changing accessories or consumables for routing, sawing, planing, sanding, drilling and screwdriving tools easier.
• Lithium-ion battery - Fitted with high-performance lithium ion battery pack.
• Plus Systainer - Plus versions of power tools come in systainer storage containers.
• Torque Shut Off - Intelligent technologoy ensures the optimum screwdriving force for every material.
