If you need a compact, yet powerful drill, the Festool C12 is made for you!

So how compact is it? Well, with the CentroTec chuck, the C12 is just 6-5/8" from the nose to the back of the housing, and just 8-3/4" in height - that’s over 25% more compact than most standard sized 12 V drills! Festool has managed to use every bit of the C12’s 3 lb 7 oz weight to advantage - it is the first cordless tool with a long life, variable-speed brushless motor. Unlike most drills, the Festool C12 has a unique 21 stage electronic clutch operating in both its 0 - 450 rpm and 0 - 1500 rpm speed ranges to minimize weight and mechanical wear.

Like other Festool drills, the C12 converts from its standard 1/2" capacity “Jacobs®” style chuck to an eccentric chuck, a right angle chuck, or the new CentroTec chuck in just seconds, without tools. The unique CentroTec Quick Change system uses special 1/4" extended shank hex bits for increased stability and concentricity. Loading bits in the chuck is easy - just pull back on the green actuator ring and slip the bit in place. Tools are German made and come with a 3-year factory warranty.
