The Festool TID 18-Basic Cordless Impact Driver combines powerful fastening performance with compact, ergonomic handling. Designed for professional carpentry, joinery and installation, it handles demanding screwdriving tasks in timber, metal and plastic.
Powered by Festool’s 18 V battery system, the TID 18 features a brushless EC-TEC motor. It delivers up to 180 Nm of maximum torque, making it suitable for demanding fastening applications.
Three selectable speed settings provide no-load speeds of 0–1,200, 0–2,000 and 0–3,200 rpm. Furthermore, the dedicated T-mode automatically adapts the driving action when fastening suitable self-drilling screws through sheet metal into timber.
The tangential impact mechanism directs rotational force into the fastener while minimising reaction torque at the handle. As a result, users experience less wrist strain during repetitive fastening work.
A robust impact mechanism supports reliable performance under demanding conditions. Meanwhile, the compact design improves access to confined spaces and supports comfortable overhead operation.
The ¼-inch hexagonal tool holder enables quick bit changes without additional tools. In addition, integrated bit storage keeps frequently used accessories close at hand.
An LED work light improves visibility around the fastening point. The reversible belt clip also provides convenient access when moving between tasks.
The Festool TID 18-Basic is suitable for furniture assembly, kitchen installation, timber framing, fencing and general construction. Its combination of high torque, intelligent speed control and ergonomic design makes it a practical choice for professional fastening applications.
