Festool T12+3 Cordless Drill 564247


Cordless Drills. Different by Design. Festool 564247
Our cordless drills look different, because they are different. Crafted to the highest level of German engineering, Festool cordless drills offer a level of quality not found in other cordless drills. From the EC-TEC brushless motors, to the interchangable Centrotec and FastFix chucks, these cordless drills were designed to work the way you work.
Five Drills in One.
Thanks to Festool's innovative FastFix chuck system, the T+3 cordless drill is incredibly versatile and does the work of five drills in one. (1) The eccentric chuck is perfect for corners and against adjoining edges. (2) The keyless drill chuck can be used with drill and driver bits up to 1/2" in diameter. (3) For lighter weight and a more compact footprint, use the smaller, lighter Centrotec chuck with its full array of interchangable drill and driver bits. (4) The most unique is the right-angle chuck which provides a 90° angle to the drive motor for tight spaces. The eccentric and right-angle chucks can both swivel a full 360 degrees with 16 locking positions. (5) The optional depth stop chuck provides consistent, precise depth settings regardless of workpiece material. If that's still too few options, you can also use standard hex driver bits in the drill with no chuck attached. The T+3 cordless drill set includes all chucks except the depth stop chuck.
Bringing The Power.
All the versatility of the T+3 cordless drill is combined with a robust design that features a long-lasting, energy efficient brushless motor, compact transmission, and electronic health monitoring. Brushless motors offer significant advantages over motors with brushes, including higher efficiency and reliability, reduced noise, and longer service life to name a few. This helps the T+3 cordless drill outperform other drills that would otherwise be in the same class. Nearly all of Festool's power tools feature intelligent electronic monitoring and feedback which makes the tool smarter. In the case of the T+3, this technology protects the motor from overload, provides an electronic (rather than mechanical) clutch feature, and an intelligent drill mode with an electronic clutch override, as well as other innovative features.

FastFix Chuck System
Possibly the most innovative feature of any cordless drill on the market, the Festool FastFix chuck system allows you to use any of the five Festool specialty chucks with your drill. Chucks can be swapped quickly and easily. The T+3 Set comes standard with the Centrotec, Eccentric, Right Angle and Drill chucks (as pictured). An optional Depth Stop chuck is also available.

Second Generation Brushless Motor
The Festool T+3 cordless drill features a second generation brushless motor. Brushless motors offer many advantages over the brushed DC motors in all other cordless drills including higher efficiency, better reliability and longer service life. These advantages allow the T+3 to out perform other drills.

Electronically Controlled Clutch
Nearly all drills employ a mechanical clutch. The T+3 uses a superior, more sophisticated electronic clutch. The conveniently placed clutch dial controls the electronic clutch setting. This results in less wear on the motor and other wearable parts. When the clutch engages, the T+3 notifies you with an audible tone. When the clutch dialed to a setting below 10, the speed of the drill is also reduced automatically

Magnetic Bit Stowage
Always have quick access to your most commonly used driver bits by stowing them on the drill. The magnetic bit stowage can accomodate up to four 1" driver bits.

Intelligent Battery Charger
The T+3 cordless drill comes with an intelligent microprocessor-controlled battery charger that uses pulse charging technology. The charger is designed to protect your batteries from damage and prolong their life. Onboard LEDs provide instant status feedback. The charger is also compatible with Festool NiCD and NiMH batteries.
