Festool TXS 12 - will it be available in USA?

[jimk1963]

Stumbled onto a Festool YT video illustrating the new CXS 12 and TXS 12. Appears the TXS 12 is only available in Europe? If so, will the TXS 12 be made available in the USA? When?

The TXS 12 has a full-size handle on it, unlike the CXS 12 which can only fit 3 fingers in the grip. Appears to be a better ergonomic design in that regard. The TSX 12 is also nearly an inch shorter in depth (front-to-back), at 13.3 cm vs. 15.6 cm for the CXS. The TSX 12 is taller though, at 22.2 cm vs. 17.7 cm for the CXS. Most of the time, drill/driver depth is a bigger problem than height. Both TSX 12 & CSX 12 are listed as same weight (0.7 Kg) on Festool UK site, although intuitively I'd think the TSX might be a touch lighter.

It hasn't been confirmed, but I would call it heavily implied that they'd bring it to the us in '24 from watching their YouTube

Any new news on this? I would love to grab the TXS 12 here in the states.

It has been a while and nothing. I was in Spain last week and picked one up.
Everything is the same except the charger is 220-240

The TXS12 quietly disappeared from the Festool Au site a long time ago, not sure why. CXS is still available, as is the TXS18.

Man I'd love to nab one. I have the CXS and while I like it, I just have a preference for a 12v T style drill. I had the Metabo Powermaxx 12v line and loved them. I don't suppose you'd be heading to Spain again anytime soon and would be down to import another?
