Cxs redesign or update?

[MarcV]

Does anyone know if Festool is planning on a electronic update or some sort of redesign for the cxs this year? My local Festool dealer was under the impression that they are but I wanted to know for sure. I want to buy a cxs but will hold off if something is going to change.

There's also a T model available now in Europe, but the Cxs remains a current model.

Well it's been updated down under. We have the same as the European model. Not a radical redesign it still has a brushed motor but now has the 2.6amp batteries and a 10mm chuck.

Upgraded battery. But not brushless

Aahhh, never mind, I love it all the same

The new CXS/TXS Li 2.6 Ah also have a battery level indicator build in the LED light.
And much smaller batteries which suits also the former CXS.
It's unbelievable how tiny these new batteries are.

Might be talking about the limited edition CXS... https://www.festool.co.uk/Campaigns/Pages/90/90-years-Festool.aspx

I don't think Festool has made any announcements about the updated CXS coming to the states besides the limited edition model being given away throughout the year.

You can buy it on ebay though but you may have issues getting the batteries shipped. Some other FOG members can probably talk to that more.

Looks nice the 90th Anniversary Special Edition CXS cordless drill.
But it's only the front plate with the autograph of Gottlieb Stoll, the founder of the company and the SE black systainer.

I'd rather have the bit storage vs the signature plate. Case is awesome

I'll take one! [big grin]

I was planning to buy my 7, soon to be 8 year old son his own CXS. So... I'll take the 90th Anniversary model if it becomes available in the USA, and give my son my existing CXS (which I absolutely LOVE!).

Cheers,

Frank

Thats a great idea Frank, it's a tool he can use right away and he'll love it for a very long time.
