T-18 video review

[e36freak]

Hey Dave,

Your great review was the reason why I switched to the T18 drill. I was not satisfied with the Ti15 drill because of missing power and more weight. Festool have sent me the T18 3.0A and they have got the Ti15 back, very good service! After one month using the T18 I have to say this is the best drill I have ever used before, lot of power, very good handling and 3.0Ah are really too much for private use )

The T-18 is definitely a power house.  The battery life is incredible on it.  I just did some recessed panels for a dining room where I drilled over 200 pocket holes in 3/4" poplar.  I used 1 battery to drill all the holes.  To screw everything together I used my cxs, which went through 2 batteries.  Heres a pic of the panels I will post some of the room after it gets sprayed.

Why the CXS to drive the screws?  I can't afford a CXS and a T18.  Why would I need both?  Did you use square drive screws in the pocket holes?  If so what bit arrangement did you use?
