Festool CXS 12 2,5-Plus Cordless Drill

At a Glance: Ultra-compact 10.8V cordless drill set with brushless EC-TEC motor, 2-speed gearbox, FastFix interface, 10mm keyless chuck, 2 x 2.5Ah batteries, charger and Systainer³.

The Festool CXS 12 2,5-Plus is a compact cordless drill built for precise drilling and screwdriving where control, comfort and access really matter. Light in the hand, beautifully balanced and surprisingly powerful for its size, this 12V class drill is ideal for furniture fitting, kitchen installation, interior finishing, trim work, cabinet work and general assembly tasks. The ergonomic C-shape places the grip directly in line with the drilling and screwdriving axis, giving you excellent control when working accurately in wood, metal and plastic.

The powerful brushless EC-TEC motor delivers reliable performance with low energy consumption, while the 2-speed gearbox allows controlled fastening in first gear and faster drilling in second gear. Festool’s FastFix interface makes changing between compatible attachments quick and tool-free, and the included 10mm FastFix keyless chuck allows the use of standard cylindrical drill bits and accessories. With integrated LED work light, magnetic bit holder, belt clip, two 2.5Ah battery packs, rapid charger and Systainer³ storage, this is a neat, professional drilling and screwdriving set for daily trade use.

Compact Festool 12V drilling and screwdriving performance

The CXS 12 is designed for users who want a smaller, lighter cordless drill without giving up professional handling and system flexibility. Its compact body makes it especially useful in confined areas, while the Festool attachment system opens the door to flexible drilling, screwdriving, angular drilling and precision fastening applications.
