OUCH, my wallet hurts after this [blink] I thought i was getting the limited eddition installers kit but it ended up being the 2013 centrotec kit (still very usefull)
Last week my trusty makita kit that ive had for years finally kicked the bucket (literally) The jacobs chuck fell off (shattered) and the trigger had became sticky. I was able to get through the rest of the week with my little makita m12 driver while I waited for my new drill to come in
ive had my eye on these drills for a few years always playing with them while being in woodcraft just never pulling the trigger because i had a working drill. Numerous times over the years i have longed for the features these drills provide, especially the built in right angle drill adapter.
I Used the right angle drill adapter today for an absolute impossible hole which saved the need for a hole in the drywall. Having the right angle drill attachment right next to me saves so much time! so far no complaints, will to a full review for you guys after a few weeks of heavy use!
Expensive, yes. Worth it...ohh hell yeah for features alone and because this will be the last heavy duty drill I buy for the next decade atleast!
The two systainers
Wood/Metal Drill bits up to 1/2"
Drill with centrotec head on it
Without
Traditional jacobs chuck (what were all used too) Has an awesome ratchet system it it!
Eccentric Bit head, allows you to get right up into a corner of a cabinet, super handy!
Right Angle Head
Centrotec Head on
Jacobs Chuck on Right Angle adapter
Battery Indicator and torque setting dial at the top
Low/High gear & Drill/Drive
Festool also allows you to place a bit directly into the drive shaft for a super stuby drill.
The drill is perfectly balanced when in your hand and you can tell that the ergonomics was designed for the tradesmen that uses a drill all day. It just "fits" with your hand. Absolute phenomenal drill, she will NOT be babied.Ill report back after a few weeks of heavy use.
