The Freedom of Cordless: The Festool 18V Cordless System
△The ETSC 125 cordless eccentric sander unveiled by Festool, along with the DTSC 400 cordless triangular sander and the RTSC 400 cordless rectangular sander, are cordless sanding products that add Bluetooth functionality to further enhance user convenience. The cordless sanding system, which combines an 18V Ergo battery with a brushless ET-TEC motor, boasts performance capable of the same output as corded models, and its ergonomic design delivers outstanding mobility with a lowered grip height and a lightweight of 1.4 kg. In addition, by connecting the Festool plug-it cable, it can also be used as a corded sander. By continuously supplying power during ongoing work, it maximizes efficiency so that workers can operate easily anytime, anywhere.
△The TSC 55 cordless plunge saw, regarded as one of Festool's steady sellers, also boasts the same power as corded models and is an item expected to help capture the interior market ahead of the competition. The TSC 55 cordless plunge saw uses a dual-battery system, guaranteeing a maximum output of 36V when two 18V batteries are installed. △The HKC 55 cordless track saw maximizes the cutting power of its brushless EC-TEC motor with a high-output 18V lithium-ion battery, and with its guide rail it enables independent work regardless of location. △The BHC 18 cordless hammer drill delivers a long service life and high output thanks to its brushless EC-TEC motor, and its C-shaped structural design provides powerful performance relative to its weight. Furthermore, its low vibration reduces work fatigue and provides an optimal working environment.
△The TID 18 cordless impact driver, with its next-generation brushless motor, offers excellent durability and, with 180 Nm of powerful output, delivers smart power; its T-mode function enables material-optimized work. With its light weight of 960 g and compact design (excluding battery), it produces no back torque, making it excellent for comfortable work that puts no strain on the wrist. In addition, with the Li-HighPower 4.0 compact battery, users can experience the same performance at 20% lighter weight (compared to our 5.2Ah battery), making it a favorite among interior professionals.
In the case of cordless tools equipped with Bluetooth functionality, the battery communicates with the dust extractor's Bluetooth module via Bluetooth, so that when the tool's switch is turned on, the dust extractor operates automatically. The Bluetooth module can be fitted to existing dust extractors as an accessory for efficient use.
Festool Korea stated, "The seven 18V cordless tool systems introduced this time form a mutually compatible system centered on a mobile dust extractor, and by integrating the advanced technology of German engineering, they efficiently guarantee workers the best performance and results." It added, "As the COVID era continues and many people are beginning to focus on their homes, the interior industry is expected to develop considerably. Because renovating one's precious home is the task at hand, when interior professionals work precisely and cleanly, the client's trust and satisfaction with the work increase. Festool prides itself on its precise, high-quality power tools and its flawless dust extraction system, so we plan to make these our marketing points and begin aggressive marketing to lead the interior market, and together with Festool's cordless tool lineup we plan to run a variety of events and promotions."
