Brawn Meets Brains. The T 1 +3 | T 15+3 Cordless Drills - FESTOOL

Brawn Meets Brains.
The T 1 +3 | T 15+3 Cordless Drills
Tools for the toughest demands

In a class by itself:
The T+3 Series.
1 Volt, 15 Volt, 18 Volt – it’s time to
break with conventional thinking.
With the latest T+3 Series cordless
drills, which no longer belong to a
voltage class but rather in a class
that is completely redefined by the
interplay of brains and brawn.
With a motor design that guaran-
tees extra performance. Long-
lasting battery packs with modern
lithium-ion technology. And a
The latest Festool T+3 Series gets its power
from lithium-ion battery packs. They are especially
light and efficient, never discharge by themselves – and
can be recharged at any time.
Completely without any memory effect.
compact design as well as han-
dling that makes the available
power comfortable and efficient to
use, even over long periods of
time. It feels as if that, whatever
the job, there is still more power
available – whether screwdriving
small or large screws or drilling
small or large holes in softwood,
hardwood, or metal.
The new T 1 +3 and T 15+3 cordless
drills: in a class by
themselves.

The +3 principle for more power.
And the brains to turn power into performance.
The proof can be found when
screwdriving. That’s why the latest
T 1 +3 and T 15+3 cordless drills
are outfitted with a real power
plant – the patented EC-TEC motor.
This motor not only runs without
using carbon brushes and is
therefore free of wear, but knows
how to convert battery energy into
performance – almost without any
loss – thanks to intelligent motor
management.

The result: more screwdriving
performance. A controlled use of
power. And a unique torque that
puts the latest T+3 Series in a
performance range that normally
belongs to the next higher voltage
class. The usefulness of this
power is increased by intelligent
functions, such as the one that
stores the torque setting when
switching between drilling and
screwdriving. Because the torque
setting is stored, you can interrupt

hole under full power and then
immediately switch back into the
screwdriving mode. Without ever
having to reset the torque.

Intelligent functions at hand – the innovative auxiliary
switch saves valuable time because the last torque setting
stays stored when switching over. Changing between
drilling and screwdriving is carried out quickly and easily.
No matter how tough the job, the wear-free EC-TEC
motor in the T+3 Series always keeps the rpm constant
and always provides exactly the desired power – power
that was set beforehand at one of the 25 available
levels. Giving precise results every time. Results that
are quick and clean.

A lot of power and a lot more – the
latest T 12+3 | T 15+3 cordless drills.

EC-TEC motors run without carbon brushes, and are therefore free of wear. You will
be impressed by the level of efficiency, which has been increased once again, and the
amazing power.
Electronic motor management guarantees the longest service life – microprocessors
monitor and control the temperature, voltage, and current consumption of the motor,
electronics and battery.
This switch really saves time – the torque that is set for screwdriving is stored, even
if there is drilling at maximum torque in the meantime.
The light, compact design, the slender Softgrip handle and the perfectly located
centre of gravity ensure that work goes easily and smoothly.
The practical bit holder provides space for up to four bits – magnetically secured
against falling out.
The FastFix interface is the key to the CENTROTEC quick change system and all
FastFix adapters. All other types of tools can be used with the standard chuck.
The T+3 Series cordless drills perform at their peak when you combine them
with the modern lithium-ion battery packs. But all the TDK and C 12 Series
NiCd or NiMH battery packs can be used. After all, Festool is always thinking
in terms of systems!

The T 12+3 | T 15+3 cordless drills hard at work –
when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, they provide the
extra performance that really counts.
Even for the toughest jobs, they have the power to
achieve quick and perfect results.

Ready for action .
The latest T 1 +3 | T 15+3 cordless drills are just
made to be used. Once they are on the job, they are
virtually unstoppable. The T+3 Series meets every
drilling and screwdriving challenge – whether it’s
constructing windows or setting up fair exhibits,
working on the interiors of buildings or vehicles, or
industrial applications. And it doesn’t matter whether
it’s screwdriving overhead or drilling in tight spaces –
the new T+3 Series is incomparable at all these tasks.
Always ready for action.

It’s time for a change .

Stay versatile and fl exible. Change in seconds between screwdriving, drilling and counter-
sinking. Extremely close to the edge work. Guaranteed precise depths. And easy drilling
around corners. There is always the right adapter for the T+3 Series.

FastFix eccentric adapter – 1
The FastFix eccentric adapter makes working
close to edges very easy. Screws can easily be
placed and fastened close to the edge.
Standard chuck – 2
Always among the items included so that
every tool with a cylindrical shaft can be
used. From electrical socket cutters to
Forstner bits.
CENTROTEC – 3
The CENTROTEC quick change system
replaces chucks and bit holders – it is 50%
smaller and 80% lighter than a standard
chuck and makes changing between drilling,
countersinking and screwdriving
signifi cantly faster.
FastFix depth stop – 4
The FastFix depth stop guarantees that
screws will be at a precise and uniform depth
– the optimal solution, for example,
when installing drywall.
FastFix angle adapter – 5
The FastFix angle adapter lets you do
screwdriving around corners. Even concealed
screws can be reached very easily – even if
there is hardly room for your hand.

The battery packs are charged using controlled
impulses that continually interrupt the charging
process for milliseconds at a time. The charging time,
cell temperature and the current charge are continually
monitored so that the charging current is adjusted
properly. This insures a high capacity and a large
number of charging cycles.

To work with Festool means using
the advantages of a complete tool
system. That also goes for the
recently developed and especially
powerful charging station for the
latest T+3 Series. Optimally
matched and with integrated
monitoring functions, it charges
battery packs quickly, gently and
for many many charging cycles –
both the latest Li-ion battery
packs as well as the NiCd and
NiMH battery packs that are
already being used in the TDK and
C 1 Series.
Festool CENTROTEC System is not
any less versatile. The tool chuck
allows bits to be changed in a
fl ash. Together with the many
special tools for screwdriving and
drilling that are especially de-
signed for Festool cordless drills,
you will always be perfectly ready
for next task.
