Which drill for boring framing for electrical & plumbing runs?

Can a handle be put on any other Festool drill other than the TPC? I already have a concrete drill, a Milwaukee M18 rotary hammer. If the T18 could take a handle, for hole saws, etc., then I’d opt for that I think.

No side handle for the T18.

Just under 5 inches.

But who is putting a Jakob's chuck on the right angle chuck? Just put the 1/4" hex holder on there, way compacter.

I see you already have the 'imperial-named equivalents' of the Bosch GSR 12v-15 FC and GSR 12v-35. Bosch is discontinuing the GSR 12v-35 in favor of the newly released GSR 12v-32, that -contrary to it's name- is actually stronger. My guess is they will also update the -FC and -HX variants. If so a possible 'GSR 12v-32 HX' would probably be 114mm long with the hex holder already included.
The -32 also gets kickback control... so my guess is... it's perfect for tight spaces. Combine them with a 3 Ah battery for maximum power in the most compact way. Or a 6 Ah one for most runtime and power. I have both 2, 3 and 6 Ah batteries and they are blatantly better than the 2 Ah ones.

If I need a really compact arrangement I break out the Makita right angle drill. Amazingly powerful too.
