Festool T18 Easy Drill Driver Features
The Festool T18 E Easy Drill Driver features a keyless 1/2-inch chuck. An LED work light below the chuck keeps your workspace lit up. The tool even includes integrated dual-bit storage for convenience. You get a two-speed setting on top with variable speed control throughout each mode.
While all of these features sound good, none of it necessarily sounds “Easy”-er than any other cordless drills on the market. What sets the Festool model apart comes down to the warranty and service. The Festool T18 Easy Drill Driver is covered by an all-inclusive 3-year warranty on the tool, battery, and charger.
Festool’s trained experts handle all service and warranty requests in-house. This results in an average turn-around in two business days and guarantees a quality of workmanship that Festool claims can’t be matched by companies that outsource service requests.
