C-12 Cordless drill

Added to MyBoatsGear on 1/16/2010

Our Review
Festools C12 is a very light 12 volt cordless drill. The 2-inch chuck is exchangeable using no tools and the optional right angle and offset chucks are great for some difficult applications. The C12s new brushless motor is small but powerful. The tool beeps when the battery needs a charge—a nice feature. The C12 unique body makes it easy to hold the tool in different ways.

Upgrades, include quick connect offset and right angle chucks. Others include extensions, bits countersinks and plug cutters. etc.

C 12 cordless costs $355 so its not cheap.

The ” Festool review ” “I was so fascinated with the idea that a 3-phase motor was being used in a battery operated tool that I volunteered to write this technical review and give it to Festool without taking a fee for my work”.

Festool's Description
One million screws strong (testing stopped at 1 million)! With the revolutionary EC-TEC “brushless” motor, the durable C 12 can easily power through over a million screws with minimal wear. The brushless motor is extremely energy efficient, which translates into longer run times and fewer trips to the charger. Its compact design allows you to get into more places without the extra bulk and weight of traditional drill designs. Combined with the Festool FastFix chuck system, the C 12 can do the job of 5 drills. All of this power and capability packs nicely into one slim design. Never before has something so small been able to do so much!
