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

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.
