I am contemplating purchasing a new and selling the old to get hold of the newer batteries, but that’s about it.
I looked at the „competition“ but I love the way the CXS handles so much that in my hand, nothing comes close.![]()
With the TXS you are already on the new batteries.morts10n said:I have 2 TSX and I couldnt tell you if they are the updated ones or not. What is the difference in batteries?

This. I sold my CXS and purchased the updated model with the new battery format. It's a great drill and I've never wished it to be anything other than it is. As [member=69273]Spandex[/member] notes, it doesn't need to be anything more.

In that article they say that a motor swap was necessary and it cost as much as brushes would cost. I find that hard to believe.RKA said:[member=163]vkumar[/member] Its not too bad. According to the thread below, the entire motor is replaced, but it’s reasonably inexpensive and easy.

Bosch GSR12V-300FCB22 is the 12V brushless model offered at the same price as the Milwaukee equivalent.Bran077 said:All this said, does the Festool offer any benefits over its competitors? Honestly I’m not too worried about a brushed motor even if it SHOULD be updated by now. I believe the Bosch FlexiClick is still brushed...incidentally. By the time I reach runtime on a brushed motor it’ll be time to buy another one anyway.
