Festool T 18+3-Basic Cordless Drill

At a Glance: 18V cordless drill with 2-speed gearbox, brushless EC-TEC motor, electronic torque adjustment and FastFix / CENTROTEC quick-change versatility.

The Festool T 18+3-Basic is a premium cordless drill built for tradespeople and woodworkers who need one machine to handle precise screwdriving, fast drilling and adaptable site work with ease. Its ergonomic T-design sits comfortably in the hand, while the brushless EC-TEC motor delivers strong, efficient performance with excellent durability. Festool’s fully electronic torque adjustment helps you set the correct fastening force with confidence, and the FastFix interface with CENTROTEC quick-change system makes switching between drilling and screwdriving fast and effortless. From furniture assembly and kitchen installation to timber construction and general drilling in wood, metal and plastic, this machine is designed to keep work moving smoothly.

Smart, powerful and highly adaptable Festool drilling performance

The T 18+3-Basic combines drilling strength, screwdriving precision and practical system flexibility in one compact cordless machine. With its electronic torque shut-off, integrated LED light, direct bit holder in the spindle and compatibility with Festool attachments such as the angle attachment, eccentric adapter and depth stop, it is designed to adapt quickly to changing tasks. This makes it an excellent choice for professional workshop use, installation teams and mobile site work.

Product highlights

  • FastFix quick-change system Change chucks and compatible attachments quickly without tools for smoother workflow.
  • CENTROTEC convenience The rapid tool-change system makes switching between drilling and screwdriving fast, compact and efficient.
  • Brushless EC-TEC motor Delivers strong performance, low maintenance and excellent long-term reliability.
  • Electronic torque control Helps achieve precise, repeatable screwdriving results across different materials.
  • 2-speed gearbox Supports controlled screwdriving in low gear and faster drilling in high gear.
  • Comfortable T-design The slim SoftGrip handle and balanced centre of gravity make the tool easy to control.
  • Integrated LED light Improves visibility when working in cupboards, corners and other dim spaces.

Extra Information

  • This is the Basic version, typically supplied without battery pack and charger.
  • The machine is designed to work within the Festool 18V cordless system.
  • The torque setting for screwdriving remains stored even when switching over to drilling, helping speed up repeated work.
  • Optional Festool accessories such as the angle attachment, eccentric adapter and depth stop expand the drill’s capability for specialist tasks.
  • The direct bit holder in the spindle is useful where a full chuck would make the tool too long for the working space.
  • The supplied Systainer³ helps keep the tool and core accessories protected, organised and easy to transport.

Pro Tip

  • Use the CENTROTEC chuck for fast bit changes during assembly work, and switch to the keyless chuck when you need to use standard round-shank drill bits.
  • For repetitive screwdriving, dial in the electronic torque carefully on a test piece first to achieve cleaner, more consistent results.
  • When working in cabinets or tight corners, use the direct bit holder in the spindle or pair the tool with an optional angle or eccentric attachment for improved access.

Features

  • 2-speed transmission Offers a low-speed range for controlled fastening and a higher-speed range for drilling efficiency.
  • Fully electronic torque setting Allows accurate adjustment and automatic switch-off for cleaner fastening results.
  • FastFix interface Supports rapid, tool-free changes between compatible chucks and optional attachments.
  • CENTROTEC quick-change chuck Compact and lightweight system for quick transitions between drill bits and screwdriver bits.
  • Brushless EC-TEC motor High efficiency and reduced wear help improve durability and battery performance.
  • Direct bit holder in the spindle Lets you work in tighter spaces when maximum compactness is needed.
  • Integrated LED work light Helps illuminate the work area for better accuracy.
  • Bit storage on the tool Keeps commonly used bits close at hand.
