Hi warren what's the price of one of those very interested in one luke

 

[Mac]

Sweet looking drill  [eek]

 

[GPowers]

From the photo with the right angle attachment it does not look like the same adapter as the C and T series??? Why would they do that?

 

[jmbfestool]

I love in the first picture all the screws are stored on the front magnet!

[jmbfestool]

It says speed set on the side buttons wonder why they have done it like that and how does it work!!

[jmbfestool]

Heeheee Post count! 

Protool is site so this tool can be handy for more specialised jobs  where they might be drillings screws or holes day in and day out!  A normal carpenter joiner doing general joinery/carpentry I cant see it being of much benefit!  BUT saying that im surprised festool arnt doing one like a CXS corded because in a work shop I dont see a real need for cordless drills.  So having a corded one in a work shop like a CXS I personally would buy one for my work shop.

Just like the one for the CXS.

Some more info (in German) : link It's a good thing that they didn't put the direction lever in the same spot as on the duradrive drills.

 

[jmbfestool]

Their are two models BUT

I cant figure out whats the difference between the two though!  The spec is the same apart from the weight one is slightly heavier!

[neeleman]

The two models Quadrill are:
1. The DRP 18 is a normal drilling machine
2. The PDP 20 is a (light) hammer drill for masonry or concrete with small diameters

The machine definitely looks good and is quite small for it's possibilities.
It looks like a cordless with a cord.
Why doesn't TTS (Festool/Protool) design a cordless drill which also has a Plug-it cord for when the batteries run out of power.

Good Afternoon

I've got some details and prices for you, there are two drills, the DRP drill/driver and the PDP percussion drill/drill/driver. And there are versions with and without the angle chuck. So four derivatives altogether.

Prices (which I am confident are correct but are subject to confirmation):

PROTOOL 636563 DRP 18-4 DEC FF £245.65 + VAT
Including Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, Systainer

PROTOOL 636564 DRP 18-4 DEC FF SET £330.65 + VAT
Including Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, angle head, systainer

PROTOOL 636565 PDP 20-4 DEC FF £254.15 + VAT
Including Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, Systainer

PROTOOL 636566 PDP 20-4 DEC FF SET £339.15 + VAT
Including Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, angle head, systainer

I have all on order with a release date from Germany of 16/05/2012 (tomorrow). This means if the date doesn't get pushed back they will be with us next week. However as we have seen with the new cordless drills this date may slip. I hope not, because I'd really like one for home!

Spec sheet from the presentation I was sent attached.

I will list these on our www.professionaltool.co.uk website this afternoon and be accepting PRE-ORDERS for those who may want to be the first in the UK to own one.

Best regards

Warren

A picture next to a CXS or T15   to compare size would be nice Warren!?!?

Might stick in on my Wish list!  As for now currently at the top of my Wish list but edging onto the need (want) side is the Protool Chain Mortiser! The counter balance is the COST ! Im trying to tip it over the edge its just a heavy counter weight! [eek] [crying]

Good idea, as soon as they arrive I'll take some group shots for comparison.

Protool Chain Mortiser? They are in stock and looking for good homes.  [smile]

It would leave us tomorrow night on a 'next day' carrier and be delivered to you on Thursday. City Link or Interlink, whichever carrier you prefer?

The handle is about the size of the C15, the motor housing is a tiny bit bigger. If the specs are true then I'm amazed what power they got into this relatively  small housing.

Not bad then.

I'm loving the high rpm!  That's what attracting me to the drill mainly.  Their isn't really anything like that on the market.  A small drill with such high rpm!      I got the milwuake Link which I bought because it was small (short) with high rpm!  Well this protool doubles the milwueakee rpm!     

The DBB souber  lock mortiser requires a high rpm drill to perform at its best the higher the better!  Well this protool achieves that!

Yeah rub it in... bastiages... rub it in...

Warren is this a 240v only machine or do we have a 110v machine?
