Im pretty sure ive seen it on Fog some where    well I have seen the video before any way.

I like how Paul explains the difference between the Impact drill and Hammer drill as to many people even on FOG dont know the difference
I find it is more people from the USA who are confused between the two  a lot seem to think they are the same.   Sorry USA its true though! [tongue]

Hey, JMB, some of us do  [poke]

When I was in mason contracting biz, i had a big Milwaukee hammer drill.  I also rented several different sized hammer drills for various demo jobs.  The Milwaukee could bust thru concrete block or brick with no problem.  Hilti made a much heavier one that I often rented for breaking thru a concrete floor where it was not necessary to rent an air hammer and compressor.

haha, LOL, I like the questionnaire.  Also know I'm too tired to pass the quiz   Have a bad deadline for Oct 31 and by then I'll look scary enough to not need a costume  [eek]

I hadn't posted the video here yet.  Wanted to leave it on my blog for a couple days then post it here, but I left for WIA'12-Pasadena before posting and honestly forgot mea culpa.

Thanks for the compliment, James, and for posting this Peter.

Paul, thanks yet another great review.  And your explanation of the difference between a hammer drill and an impact driver is by far the best explanation of the two that I have ever heard or seen.  Now, finally, I understand.  

Your explaation is so good that I posted links to your blog  an a couple of other woodworking forums (Canadain Woodworking and Family Woodworking).  I told folks who are not interested in Festool (yes there are such people  ???) to skip ahead on the video to location 3:45.

I also like your comment that hardened steel is different than toughened steel.

Great review, P-M.  Looks like this guy goes on my list of items to be acquired.

Can the chucks for the CSX work with the TI15?
Is there a TI18 or plans for one in NAINA soon?

Thanks -

Sorry, the CXS has a unique chuck connection to the other drivers for the corner chuck. The Centrotec only chucks will ofc work.

The Centrotec chuck and the Keyless, Jacobs-style chucks will both work. Like Reiska pointed out, the Right Angle chuck won't.

As far as I know, there are no plans for an 18v impact at all.

Question Explain each drill type

Answers below:

Impact Drill    = One of the settings on my Hilti...

Impact Driver = Something my Bosch does.

Impact Wrench = Something you throw when the d*mn bolt won't come loose...

Hammer Drill = Another setting on my Hilti...

Percussion Drill = Something my son's marching band does before the field shows...

Great review, Paul...as usual. 

It was nice meeting you at WIA-Pasadena two weeks ago and thanks for your demo at the Bridge City booth.

 

[PaulMarcel]

Nice meeting you, too, Scott... met a lot of online people over there; just like last year except this time West coast people.

I like fritter's answers the best  [big grin]

Hi Paul,

Liked the review, just a quick question: can the C 12 ni-mh batteries be used on the Ti-15?

Yes, they can. NiCad, NiMH and LiIon batteries from 2005 and newer can be used with the exception of CXS batteries.

Thx Shane, that makes the basic set a lot more apealing.
