Festool Drill Designed for Forever For many woodworkers, cordless drills are disposable. You buy one every few years (usually the one on sale) and use it until the batteries or the motor's brushes give out. But what if someone made a drill designed for a lifetime? We think Festool may have done just that. Festool (888-337-8600 or festoolusa.com), has added a new lightweight 12-volt drill to its product line. Lightweight is good on its own - 3 lbs., 13.4 oz. with a 3.0 Amp hours (Ah) NiMh battery is better. And while the tool's stats and balance are nice, what's really amazing is what's inside. The motor that drives this little powerhouse is brushless. When engineers tested the drill's longevity they put it up against other premium drills. After about 60,000 screws, most of the other drills needed their brushes changed. After about 120,000 screws the other drills were pretty much cooked. But the Festool didn't show any signs of wear after 250,000 screws. Ditto for 500,000 screws. And when they opened up the motor after 750,000 screws, they still couldn't find signs of wear, according to Festool officials. The drill uses the familiar Festool Centrotec chuck and the quality features we expect from Festool. The C12 is now available in three battery systems. The 1.3 Ah NiCad will price at $345; the 2.4 Ah NiCad prices at $365 and the 3.0 Ah NiMh goes for $395. That's an expensive drill, but if you spend $75 every couple years on a new drill anyway, the math might make sense. — DT & CS STEVE WALL LUMBER CO.
