What's New for Festool in 2020

Was looking through the what's new on FestoolUSA and found this worktop template.
I don't recall it being discussed here.

APS900/2

Following up on what others have already said, the counter router template (APS900/2) was another outcome of Festool's purchase of GEAT. As well, that same purchase resulted in what would go on to be renamed the MFS.

Here's the predecessor to the APS900/2 as it originally appeared on the respective page of the GEAT website:

New SYS-RB (204869):
That looks interesting, I wonder if it will handle a TLOC MIDI, which the current ones can't have on bottom.  I would expect this product is in response to the two Systainer 3 sizes which would have similar issues.  The move to a tloc from the side locks might make it more convenient, but I don't trust the tlocs quite as much to hold a heavier stack while navigating over a step.  I've never had one fail, but they don't feel quite as solid.

From what I've seen it will hold all T-Loc and Systainer3, including Midi and Systainer3-L.
They all fit because the systainer sits on top of the cart instead of inside with the old one.
But no Classic systainers anymore.
 
So where is the US listing for this new systainer? I can't find it. Thanks.

Not out yet, from what we have heard else on this forum, maybe 2nd quarter, possible 3rd it will be out for sale

As a note about the new organizer: the boxes are incompatible with the ones from the SYS-COMBI / SORT/3 / TOOLBOX, which are already incompatible with the colored boxes from before (measurements taken from here):

Classic colored: 49mm grid, 71mm height
SORT/3 (2015): 60mm grid and 71mm height
Systainer³ (2020): 50mm grid, 69mm height

Great festool 'system'. Not.

There is no excuse for the 2nd format much less this 3rd one.

Ingenious and powerful

  With a maximum torque of 180 Nm, the new TID 18 also stands out with its great screwing power.  Thanks to its three speed levels and the intelligent "T mode", allowing it to adapt to the material being worked on, it delivers optimal power for each tightening operation.

  When screwing sheet metal onto wood with self-tapping screws, the intelligent “T mode” detects the transition from sheet metal to wood and automatically adjusts the speed.
  In addition to “T mode”, the user has three speeds providing the appropriate speed whatever the operation to be performed.
  The tangential percussion mechanism without recoil preserves the wrist.  When the device is switched on and at the start of a drilling operation at a low torque, the device rotates at maximum speed without activating the shocks.  As soon as the torque increases, when the thread of the screw engages in the wood, the device automatically reduces the speed and activates the shock system.
  The advantages of three speeds and T mode

  Prevention of damage to the screw or the part to be assembled
  Protection against screw head breakage
  Protection against screw slippage
  Selection of a regime adapted to the material
  Precise tightening of small screws
  Safe work and perfect ergonomics

  At Festool, performance goes hand in hand with user safety.  Ergonomics, compactness and lightness, with a weight of only 960 g, are also among the advantages of the new cordless impact screwdriver.  It is equipped with a magnetic housing for bits on both sides, it is located deep to prevent accidental release of the bits by friction.  The practical belt clip can also be mounted on the left or right side.  Thanks to its convenient location, the LED lamp allows it to illuminate the work area without annoying shadows.  The device thus offers good maneuverability, including during long-term interventions or operations carried out with arms raised.  Thanks to the IMPACT principle implemented, the TID 18 works without hindsight.  It therefore allows you to work without fatigue for a long time.
  Soft start, electronic overload protection, fast engine brake and start protection ensure safe use of the tool.

  For each application, a suitable battery

  The Li-HighPower Compact 4.0 Ah battery is the ideal combination of power, compactness and lightness.  The Compact 3.1 Ah battery is a good choice for even more lightness.

  For uncompromising performance, the new TID 18 cordless impact screwdriver benefits from the All-inclusive Guarantee, free package of services by simply registering the machine on the website www.festool.fr/services, within 30 days of  'purchase.  From 290 € HT public price recommended (excluding eco-contribution) in Basic version without battery or charger.
  Distribution: specialized distribution networks
  Available from April 2020
 
Thanks for posting some new info. Nothing earth shattering there apart from maybe "precise tightening of small screws". I now envisage fine cabinet makers attaching highly detailed and delicate doors... with an impact [eek]
 
Thanks to the IMPACT principle implemented, the TID 18 works without hindsight.

Can someone explain this or do a better translation from the original source?

Does using the TID 18 mean that you never have to look back and think that you could have done a better job driving that last screw.
 
Rückdrehmoment is not hindsight. Literally it's 'reverse torque', but a better word is probably recoil or kickback. It's kind of the whole point of impact drivers, no more turning wrists.
 
Nice, something I will buy the moment it is available.  I've wondered in the past if they had a solution for exactly this.

That looks like a useful accessory! Wonder if it will fit the corded ETS-EC range?
There are separate ETS and ETSC versions.

Link to the kit here, although I imaging the ‘positioning aid’ will be available separately:

It looks like the positioning aid is available separately... P/N 205316
