Overview:
The Festool TID 18 Basic-Set T18 brings together two of Festool's most versatile 18V cordless tools in a single set: the TID 18 impact driver and the T18+3 drill/driver. Both tools run on Festool's EC-TEC brushless motors for long-lasting, maintenance-free performance, and share the same 18V battery platform. The TID 18's tangential hammer mechanism is kickback-free, driving the fastener directly rather than transferring rotational force to the operator's wrist — a meaningful advantage during high-cycle fastening on cabinets, decks, and structural assemblies. The T18+3 rounds out the set with a compact, ergonomic C-design well-suited for drilling, driving, and work in confined areas.
Features:
- EC-TEC brushless motors in both tools for extended service life and consistent power delivery without brush replacement
- TID 18 features three speed levels and T-mode, which detects the transition between sheet metal and wood and automatically adapts drive speed for self-tapping screws
- Kickback-free tangential hammer mechanism on the TID 18 drives the fastener rather than torquing the tool against the operator's grip
- T18+3 drill features FastFix interface for fast accessory changes without tools
- Tool-free 1/4in bit holder on the TID 18 with integrated onboard bit storage
- LED illumination on both tools for visibility in dim or enclosed work areas
- Dual-sided belt clip on TID 18 for left or right-hand carry
- Compact C-design on both tools for comfortable grip and extended use in tight spaces
- Covered by Festool's 3-year Service All-Inclusive warranty
