Festool TID 18-Basic Cordless Impact Driver

At a Glance: 18 V cordless impact driver with 180 Nm torque, brushless EC-TEC motor, 3 speed levels, T-mode and 1/4" tool holder.

The Festool TID 18-Basic is a compact cordless impact driver built for powerful screwdriving with excellent control and reduced strain on the wrist. With its robust hammer mechanism, brushless EC-TEC motor and tangential impact action, it drives screws hard without the tiring reverse torque normally felt through the hand and arm.

Whether you are fitting kitchens, assembling furniture, installing doors and windows, building wooden substructures or driving screws into wood, metal and plastic, the TID 18-Basic is made for fast, efficient screwdriving. It has three speed levels plus a clever T-mode for self-tapping screws, making it a proper little beast when the job needs power, speed and control in one compact body.

Powerful impact driving without the wrist punishment

The TID 18-Basic uses a tangential hammer mechanism that turns the screw without transferring harsh reverse torque back into your wrist. Combined with 180 Nm of torque and the brushless EC-TEC motor, it is ideal for demanding screwdriving work where comfort and control matter.

Product highlights

High torque output: Delivers up to 180 Nm of torque for demanding screwdriving applications.
Brushless EC-TEC motor: Provides strong performance, long service life and efficient battery use.
Three speed levels: Allows the user to match the driving speed to the task and material.
T-mode: Special mode for controlled driving of self-tapping screws.
Wrist-friendly operation: Tangential hammer mechanism reduces reverse torque for safer, more comfortable screwdriving.
Compact and lightweight: Machine weight of only 0.90 kg without accessories for less fatigue during longer use.
Convenient details: Includes tool-free 1/4" holder, integrated bit storage, LED work light and belt clip.
Supplied in Systainer³: Packed in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 187 for organised storage and transport.

Extra Information

The TID 18-Basic is supplied as a Basic version. Battery pack and charger are not listed as included items.
The tool works on the Festool 18 V cordless battery platform.
T-mode is designed for controlled work with self-tapping screws by adapting the driving behaviour during use.
The 1/4" tool holder is designed for quick and easy bit changes.
The tool is supplied in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 187 for storage and transport.
The belt clip can be fitted on either side of the tool for user preference.

Pro Tips

Use speed level 1 for smaller screws or more delicate materials where control matters more than speed.
Use T-mode when driving self-tapping screws to reduce the chance of overdriving or damaging the fastener.
Keep impact-rated bits in the Systainer so the tool is always ready for high-torque fastening work.
For long overhead work, use a compact Festool battery pack to keep the tool lighter and better balanced.
Let the impact mechanism do the work. Do not push too hard; steady pressure usually gives cleaner, more controlled fastening.

How to Use

Insert a compatible Festool 18 V battery pack into the tool until it locks securely.
Fit the correct 1/4" bit or bit holder into the tool holder.
Select the speed level according to the screw size and material.
Use T-mode when working with self-tapping screws where controlled driving is required.
Place the bit squarely into the screw head before pulling the trigger.
Start slowly to seat the screw, then increase trigger pressure as required.
Allow the impact mechanism to drive the screw without forcing the tool excessively.
Release the trigger once the screw is seated correctly.
Remove the battery pack before changing accessories, cleaning or storing the tool.

Features

18 V battery platform: Compatible with Festool 18 V cordless system batteries.
Brushless EC-TEC drive: Efficient motor technology for high power and low energy consumption.
Robust hammer mechanism: Built for long service life and tough screwdriving work.
3 + T-mode gearbox: Three standard speed settings plus T-mode for self-tapping screws.
1/4" tool holder: Tool-free bit changes for quick work between fastening tasks.
Integrated LED light: Illuminates the working area for better visibility.
Integrated bit storage: Keeps a spare bit close to hand while working.
Reversible belt clip: Belt clip can be attached on either side for left- or right-handed convenience.

Benefits

Less fatigue: The compact body and low machine weight make overhead and longer screwdriving work easier.
Better wrist protection: The impact mechanism reduces kickback and reverse torque while driving screws.
More control: Three speed levels and T-mode help prevent overdriving or damaging fasteners.
Fast bit changes: The 1/4" holder allows quick tool changes without extra tools.
Professional mobility: The Systainer³ keeps the tool organised and easy to transport between workshop, vehicle and site.

Safety

Wear eye and ear protection when using the impact driver, especially during high-torque fastening work.
Use suitable dust protection when drilling or fastening in materials that create harmful dust.
Always read and follow the operating instructions and safety information before use.
Use only accessories and bits that are suitable for impact driver use.
Keep hands clear of the rotating bit and fastener during operation.
Hold the tool securely and maintain a stable working position.
Check the direction of rotation before starting the fastening operation.
Do not use damaged bits, adapters or accessories.
