Wonder what the model number CXS stands for?

[GPowers]

Per the Festool video the model number means:

C-series drill, eXtra, Small or CXS

inquiring minds want to know.

I think it should be C - X - $.  The dollar sign was mistaken for an "S".

Cost Xtra Dollars

Do you mean in cheap as in inexpensive in price or cheap as in poor build quality?

cheap price-wise, it's half the price of the next drill in the series.
and if you take away the accessories and systainer  then it doesn't cost much more than a comparable Bosch driver
