They also now have the new CXS 12 and TXS 12 with brushless motors (in the UK anyway). Like the CXS/TXS 18, they are all louder than the original CXS & TXS (requiring ear protection on the job).
i have a cxs 18 and the noise it makes is horrendous for a small drill , all festool tools are noisy , will be keeping to dewalt in the future , festool is overrated , over priced .
@@tedmaxeffsyeh right. So you had dewalt and you just thought you’d blow hundreds on a new battery system without even trying the drill. And you say the noise is horrendous. BS
@@SingleTrack66 no , i have dewalt and festool tools , batteries for both , i bought the cxs 18 for more power than the cxs 10.6v , which is fantastic drill smooth and quiet . the cxs 18 v is good but noisy and over priced , im not buying any more festool tools , dewalt are streets ahead , 🖕
@@tedmaxeffsI do have to disagree with you there. Yes the cxs18 makes a higher pitch because of the brushless motor but nothing more than most just different. I move away from dewalt and I still own some. I look after my tools and was finding the vibrations a massive problem due to being very unbalanced. Triggers that are variable failing and becoming on and off switches. The quality is startling to go backwards. Yes festool are more money but balanced very well put together and treated correctly will outlast the Chinese dewalt brand. I own some bigger workshop tools dewalt branded that are old but made in Italy that are fine. Festool is a high quality tool that lasts. My friends got festool tools that are 15 plus years old and worked every day and still delivering the same performance as new. Now I don’t call that expensive when you might have to replace the dewalt 2 or 3 times..
We you are talking about centrotec for the drills, i think you meant FastFix, as the chucks are FastFix, and it exists ONE centrotec chuck (that connects to the drill via FastFix), which then accepts centrotec bits
