Hi guys, my first post here. I’m in the market for a new drill, and have my mind set on a Festool C-style. I had the opportunity to use a C12 years ago and was really impressed with its ergonomics. It felt extremely comfortable and I have been thinking of buying one ever since. Now that the C12 has been discontinued it comes down to either the C15 or C18. The CXS isn’t an option, because I have to be able to use it for different tasks like drilling in stainless steel as wel as using it as an ordinary screwdriver, and sometimes also hole-sawing. I work in maintenance at a hotel and the work I do can be very diverse.
The C15 would be far more than sufficient for my use, i have been using a Makita 14,4V for years with success. But I noticed that the C18 also has the option for a smaller 2,6 Ah battery, which will trim of some weight and size of the drill. As far as I can discover there is no such option for the C15, at least not in The Netherlands.
If al things being equal, disregarding weight and size difference, will there be any convenience for the C15 over the C18? Or are they both the same, with the C18 having just an extra stretch in power?
With kind regards,
David
