I mostly use my C18 for drilling, it's great for that. It's super heavy, and if you are screwing into hard stuff, it starts skipping in the end, just like any regular drill. It's way louder than the surge though.Ĭ18 is a great drill with many different heads and good power. M12 Fuel Impact has exactly the same dimension as the Surge, it's a standard Milwaukee impact- a lot of power, good ergonomics, 4 driving modes. It's hard to explain, but it's about the feeling not the noise. And last thing about the surge is the feeling when driving screws, it doesn't feel like a standard impact, but more like regular drill. Also the M12 Surge has the same power as the M18 surge. When I have to use my impact, I always regret not having the Surge with me instead. M12 Surge is fantastic, not as strong as an impact, but great for any kinds of screws, since it sustains the torque for longer periods. It has good ergonomics and it's not too heavy. The TID didn't impress me at all, same run-out as Milwaukee, not the most powerful of the 18V Impacts. I have a Milwaukee M12 Surge, M12 Fuel Impact, Festool TID18, Festool C18 and Bosch Flexiclick (brushless). The TID18 is similar to what other brands offers (And it does not take any of the attachments that’s Festool offers to their normal drills) In the regular drill department, most will say that Festool shines. You can also equip these with depth stop chuck, right angle attachment and offset attachment. If you would like a near do it all drill to go with an impact, the T18 or C18 from Festool can do delicate to harder work very precisely. I’ve done (tried.) mounting windows and indoor door frames with a CXS, but no - I had to reach for either 12V impact or 18V regular drills. I’d try out 2-3 offerings, holding the tool in the situations you encounter- suppose that even mean holding the tool sideways, upside down and so on.ĭon’t know if you mean the Festool CXS/TXS? They are very positive and delicate in the way they perform, and the full kit includes a right angle attachment. I’ve large hands, and long fingers, but still the slimmer handles might shine for you as well.īeing a professional means that handling, trigger sensitivity and fine control along with as less weight as possible - but still adequate to perform the tasks you ask is important. I’ve had Bosch 12V, tried Milwaukee, but ended up with Makita in 12V - It could easily have been DeWalt too, as I like the slimmer handles they offer compared to Milwaukee and Bosch who has battery-in-handle. Most are as powerful as last generation of 18V siblings. I second the choice of looking into the 12 offerings.
