Festool Cordless drill C12 NiCd 2.4 Ah (Model No.: 564179)

Drilling is fun! Especially when you are using an over-engineered Festool drill.

THE WORLD FIRST BRUSHLESS, CORDLESS, VARIABLE SPEED DRILL!!! This is a FestoolJunkie must have item.

The C12 offers all the power you need in everyday woodworking scenarios. The C12 is more compact than most 12v and 14.4v drills; allowing you to get into tight spots with no problem. The drill is under 7" with the CentroTec chuck from front to back, and just under 9" top to bottom. The drill also comes with a Jacobs style chuck that allows for 1/2" bits.

Lightweight and powerful all at the same time. The C12's weight on average is a pound less than most cordless drills in this class on the market. Look at it this way, if you drive 300 screws a day, that's 300 pounds less a day you are holding or lifting.

21 torque settings allow the most discriminant woodworker the finesse to carry out any task with NO FEAR. The revolutionary C12 cordless drill with its brushless EC-Tec motor offers the best weight to power ratio in the market. Increasing the amp-hour (Ah) value of the battery does not increase power, only the run time.

This battery increases the runtime of the drill to about 450 screws per charge. Due to the higher capacity, this battery offers a considerably longer life span compared to the 1.3Ah battery. However, there is a trade off with this set up. You will increase the overall height of the drill by ¾”, spend more time on the charger (50 minutes), and you will gain almost half a pound of weight as the drill with battery weighs 3 lbs. 13.4 oz.

Cordless drill C12 NiCd 2.4 Ah is good if you don't like to change and recharge batteries. Get through most projects on one battery. Achtung Dude! Gotta have one of these German made tools with a 3 year warranty; this will be the last cordless drill you ever buy.
