Max Torque: 27/40Nm  for T15

Max Torque: 30/45Nm for T18

The rest of the Spec is the same

Hardly any difference in power   maybe longer battery life but its still 2.6 same as T15

and I own the T15 and the battery life is very good. So if you own a T15 I dont think its worth buying. There is only 20 pounds difference properly if you dont own  a festool drill or own a older model then its worth 20 quid more  BUT  if you buy a cordless Carvex the batteries wont work with it.

So to me unless it was alot more powerfull I wouldnt buy it  the only other thing is the belt hook but it looks like its attched to the battery so maybe you could get it to fit on the T15 batteries
 
Hi jmbfestool,
Oh, I did not get to see the specs. If that is the diff, then I may pass it, as I just gor me a T15+3.
Anyway, it's a nice machine, and torque is allways wellcome.

Cheers,
Jacques.

Alrite Jacques

I saw the Spec on http://www.lawson-his.co.uk for T15 and T18

I would think Festool will release a 18V Carvex so if you havnt bought any 14.4V Festool Cordless tools I would go for the 18V Drill and Carvex for the little extra cost but also little extra power  but I have unfortunately so I will have to stick with my T15 and 14.4V Cordless Carvex I just hope they bring out a TS55 cordless would be brilliant for kitchen fitting.

Cheers Brett
 
As interesting as it may seem to have tools share batteries - in a Festool setting I can hardly see the big advantage. Each tool comes in it's own systainer, and sports two batteries. You only need one of the chargers, for they're universal ( and THAT'S handy ). And in some cases it might even be worth it to leave one of the chargers at home, you'll have more room for bitsets/and/or sawblades or other utensils.
But I have never drained a battery in less then the time it takes to charge the other one. So in effect each systainer carries it's own self-sufficient powerplant and there would seldom be the need to swap batteries between tools.
IMHO it's wise to  buy the tool that you think will perform best for you, regardless of battery type.
In fact I chose the T15+3 while I was already envisioning a Protool Duradrive with the 12+3 battery in my future. I frequently use holesaws and the extra power vs. the T12+3 was of more importance to me. If the T18+3 had been available, I might have opted for that one.

How about this advantage in a Festool setting: I have the T15 with batteries that never seem to run out. If I want a Carvex, I'd prefer to get a body only version, which means only the machine itself, no charger, no 2 batteries, no systainer. Nice and simple, and above all, cheap. Perfect.

Only downside is ........ of course Festool doesn't sell a body only kit for some kind of stupid reason. They decided that even their most basic kit comes with a battery and a systainer, making the price skyrocket as usual. A bloody shame.

I sincerely doubt we'll gonna see an 18 volt Carvex anytime soon.

Well when they bought out the T15 did you think they would of brough out a T1l8 so soon???? I dont think soooooooooo

I didnt think they would even bothered bringing out a T18  so why wouldnt they compliment the T18 with a 18Carvex

With Circular saw and jigsaw you can easily drain a battery before the other is charges trust me I can drain 3 before one is charged you would properly say I should get a corded out but hey being lazy!  Any way I do agree with the drill though I do not drain the battery on the drill before the other is charged I have yet to try out my carvex with the battery because the UK still hasnt got them and I have paid full money like a month ago so I have been out of pocket for no reason could of had some interest on that!

I wish I could do that.  I got a few of the New Milwaukee M18 cordless range and all of them apart from the cordless angle grinder I bought naked the rest of them I got a charger and 2 batteries with lol  So I have 4 charges and 8 batteries plus a free Milwaukee battery when I bought the Kapex and stand so I have 9 batteries in total. Its brilliant for sites which run on small generators because they fluctuate alot so I never charge on a generator cant be good for the batteries. Also some sites don't have power at all or its a pain to get a lead to the job!

I always feel like if I bought the tools naked I get ripped of because when you add everything up its more so I feel if I decided to buy a battery or charger I am paying more so I think get the full package and then sell the charger maybe  but I never get round to it.

I have 7 Milwaukee 3.0 ah batteries and the other two are 1.5 ah and them 2 are a completely waist of time wish I never got them 1.5 ah I thought might be handy for light weight for ceiling. They wont work on the Circular saw or Jigsaw or Angle grinder only work on Drills.

I have one festool box with two Milwaukee chargers in and all the batteries and another festool box with the Drills, Circular saw, angle grinder, jigsaw I can carry everything in one go straight up the scaffold water proof in the festool boxes so brilliant for site work. It is also good stuff.
 
Nice advert from Festool/Protool Australia.
It's from 25Th of May 2010 and announcing 4 new Festool & 1 Protool machine.
Probably Festool 18V (T18+3), 14,4V (Carvex PSC/PSBC & C15), 400W (Festool Rotex RO 90), 21kg (Festool Kapex KS88?) and 400W Protool (DWP 4000 DEC).
I found the picture from Stu's Shed
