in this video we're going to showcase some of the key pieces and features from festool's 18
volt cordless range at the core of every cordless range is the impact driver and drill and festool's
got a very nice two-piece kit in sustainer the brushless 18 volt impact's got 180 neuton meters
of max torque it's got three drive speeds max speed 3200 rpm and it taps away at 4500
impacts per minute it's also got a t-mode for more control when you're driving coach bolts
and larger screws easy to use and beautifully balanced there's no torque returning to the user
it's got handy little magnetic bit holders on either side the pdc 18 is a four speed drill
featuring a 13 millimeter removable keyless chuck on the controls you can switch between
drilling and hammer drilling it's got four speed settings maxing out at 3800 rpm making it one of
the fastest drills on the market and you've also got variable clutch settings from left to right
and whilst in this kit it only comes with that 13 millimeter removable keyless chuck there's a
wide range of accessories suitable for this drill available in store so make sure you check them out
it's also got a max torque of 180 newton meters ideal for all your masonry drilling needs up
to 10 millimeters in diameter but if you need something more specific for drilling concrete
festool's got you covered there too with the BHC 18 this 18-volt brushless hammer drill is
compact and light ideal for tight spaces but it still doesn't compromise on the output maxing out
at 1100 rpm and up to 4895 impact per minute this drill features a unique pneumatic impact mechanism
which drives all that impact energy into the bit and not back into the user that just simply means
there's very little vibration in your hands while you're drilling it's got an sds plus chuck with 18
millimeter drilling capacity in masonry as we move from the drilling to the cutting options we've got
to start with the track saw the tsc 55 track store is extremely popular delivering precision cuts
in up to 55 millimeters depth of material with its easy to use plunge and bevel controls you
can run it as an 18 volt saw or you can add a second battery to bump it up to a 36 volt saw
it's got adjustable rpm controls on the side to match the saw to material and that maxes
out at 5200 rpm when you're using two batteries the replaceable chip guard means you can avoid
breakout on both sides of the blade when you're cutting melamine or veneer and the riving knife
is a real added bonus to avoid blade bind when you're ripping the other circular saw here is
the hkc 55 which is also capable of cutting up the 55mm deep material it includes similar plunge and
bevel capabilities as the track saw with greater versatility and mobility when not using a track
the saw is compact and light i love the little lever next to your thumb for the blade guard
so you can keep your hands on the saw you'll also notice that guard has a riving knife built into it
as well again to avoid blade bind when ripping my favorite feature though is the plunge setup
so just above the bevel controls is the green lever that you use to lock in how deep you want to
plunge you then plunge the saw while cutting and it locks the blade at the depth you've just set
once you've finished the cut you release the spring and it lifts the blade back up to zero
that's really cool and both these saws feature the fastfix blade change system as well which makes
blade changing a breeze next up is the carvex psbc 420 which is the 18 volt cordless jigsaw it's got
variable speed up to 3800 strokes per minute and a capacity and timber of up to 120 millimeters cut
it's a really nice jigsaw to use as well minimal vibration maximum control and the blade change
is really easy too it's got a nice open cutting area for maximum visibility and accuracy and you
can slide the dust guard down as well so you get maximum extraction and minimum mess you've got two
control options you've got the variable speed trigger for controlled cuts and also a second
switch with a slow start function that locks the saw on that's perfect for longer cuts and using
the saw or an inverted cuts upside down to avoid break out festool also make an 18 volt barrel grip
version of this jigsaw so make sure you check it out in store if that's more your flavor now the
vecturo osc is an 18 volt multi tool from festool with a wide range of applications and materials
that you can use it with now this brushless multi tool is super lightweight it's got variable speed
control from 10000 rpm all the way up to 19500 rpm and with that ergonomic handle you can hold
it however you want up the business end it's got starlock max for quick and easy blade change and
tool change and festool's got a huge range of blades and accessories suitable for this tool
so make sure you check them out as well this is festool's 18 volt brushless 125 millimeter
grinder now this guy has got a fully enclosed motor keeping out all dust and debris pro on its
life it's also got minimal vibration when you're using it as well it's just really nice to use
it's got variable speed control from 4500 to 8500 rpm so you can match the machine to the material
you're removing and the wheel change is toolless too thanks to the quick action changing nut
not just for metal this can be used for masonry as well but if masonry is your primary use you
want to be free from that silica dust so make sure you check out the 18 volt brushes concrete cutter
which has got the same body as this grinder but a different business end it just features better
dust extraction and some plunge control festool's 125 millimeter random orbital sander is a thing of
beauty with great extraction and variable speed control it uses the smaller ergo batteries which
keep it extremely lightweight and agile you can comfortably operate it one-handed or overhead
if needed and the driving force behind this entire platform are festool's 18 volt batteries
ranging from the 3.1 amp hour ergo bluetooth to the 6.2 amp hour airstream bluetooth and
a few in between and non-bluetooth models when you're charging the airstream batteries actually
draw air through the battery in the vents on either side that air goes between the cells
and removes the heat prolonging the life of your battery and reducing your charging times
these are the new 4 amp hour high power batteries that utilize the new and larger 21700
cells to match the output of the existing 5.2 amp hour battery but they do that with half the size
and 20 less weight that gives you a nicer ride with your tools more comfort without
compromising on performance and festool batteries like these ones with bluetooth built into them
can be auto synced with the bluetooth module on the festool vac that's really great because you
don't need to sync every tool in your arsenal with the vac you can auto switch the vac
on and off with the same battery just switch the battery between your tools to sync the
battery with the vac for the first time you just press the bluetooth button on the vac
and then squeeze the trigger on the tool with the bluetooth battery installed and they're connected
all these tools and kits come with a sustainer which allows them to be packed together nicely for
transport for storage whether you're on site or you're in the workshop so what's consistent across
the whole lot of them is they're not just built to last but they've also got the user in mind
they're comfortable to hold which gives you the feeling of control there's reduced vibration
there's reduced noise and they do all that without reducing the performance up the business and that
gives you the best chance of getting a finish in your work that you can be proud of so make
