TDK Drills

[Sam Murdoch]

Do these tools only accept hex shanked drill bits? Has this been answered elsewhere? If so, sorry!

 

[Michael Kellough]

This seems to be a question about chucks rather than the drill. You need to specify which chuck.

 

[nclemmons]

Yes - the chucks will allow you to use 1/4 hex bits in them.  The exception is the Centrotec chuck, which uses Centrotec bits.  In addition, the right angle and main drill allow 1/4 bits to be inserted in the arbor without a chuck.

Do the following chucks accept regular round shank drill bits (US style?):
FastFix (quick connect) straight adjustable, right angle, and eccentric chucks?
The centrotec chuck is something altogether different than those above?

Still learnin'

the standard chuck accepts standard drill bits with shanks up to 13mm

without being obvious this is slightly bigger than half inch ( 12.7mm )

Sam,

DD as it right - the Fast-Fix takes anybit up to 13 mm. Also the right angle and eccentric chuck accept 1/4" hex style bits. The Centrotec chuck accepts Festool's Centrotec bits, or any 1/4 hex bit if you use the Centroec adapter.

Bob, does festool have plans for coming out with a TDK drill with the brushless motor?  All these close outs on the TDK must mean something.  What say you?

I found a preview page of the protool li-ion drills that look similar to the festool tdk. The line-up includes an impactdriver, drill-driver and an impact-wrench (from the looks off it).  The demonstration video shows the centrotec chuck and the angle chuck (not the eccentric one) The machines have a retractable belt-clip, but don't have a led light. link

edit/I just quickly browsed the pdf file, they have brushless motors, and come in a special systainer, with an extra smaller transparant lid in the systainer lid, for drill bit storage.
