C15 in NA

Does anyone have the new C15 with the 4.2ah? If so how do you like the grip and is the 4.2 battery is bigger than the 3ah?

The C-series drills have excellent ergonomics. Years ago I owned a C12, and just bought a C15 a few days ago. The C shape allows you to hold the drill in a manner where the motor, driveshaft and chuck are inline with your wrist and forearm, my hands are large enough that I use my pinky and ring fingers to actuate the trigger.

Everybody is going to have their own preference, but I'd certainly cast a vote for you to go with the C- series.

I don't think the 4.2 packs are any larger than the 3.0.

Now, if only Festool released an impact driver in the C format!!  [big grin]

After having become used to my C12, I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to waste time on a T-handled drill any more, given the choice.

A C-handled impact would be great, one day, when priorities and funding line up with each other to let me purchase one...  [cool]

i don't drive screws all day everyday, but i do use my C15 regularly as I work as a handyman, i change batteries every other week or so.  I imaginge that if i used it all day everyday, i would have to change every day or so, getting a full day out of a charge?

I absolutely love my C15, I have some nice T-Handled drills from Bosch and DeWalt (new brushless models) but I almost never pick them up any more, I am a total convert to the C handle. The batteries last forever, I don't drill all day, but I find myself constantly checking and never seeing them go down to 1 light, I almost want to tape the trigger down just to use the battery.  ;D

The grip on my C12 is awesome and worked well when

reattaching boards on a deck. Finished the job in quick

order and with zero cam out, thank you Festool, Spax

and GRK fasteners.

About half way through the job I used a philips fastener

the lady had and it camed out & I realized the difference

between optimal and mediocre.  [cool]

Thanks for the reply, my parents are going to vegas so I ordered a C15 set down there so they can pick it up. I can't wait to try it!
