Why choose Festool power tools?
Festool power tools are designed as part of a complete professional system, combining the machine with compatible accessories, extraction, batteries and storage. The focus is on precision, repeatability, efficiency and long-term reliability rather than simply maximum power.
Are Festool power tools suitable for professional use?
Yes. Festool tools are designed for demanding workshop and site applications, with features aimed at improving accuracy, reducing fatigue and making everyday processes more efficient. The range covers sawing, sanding, routing, drilling, joining and other professional applications.
All tools, accessories, and consumables are designed to be stored using Festool's Systainer system, making it easier to organise and transport equipment between the workshop and job site.
Which Festool battery should I choose?
Festool's 18V battery system is designed to work across compatible 18V cordless machines, allowing batteries and chargers to be shared between tools. However, battery capacity and the number of batteries required can vary between machines.
Compact 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah batteries reduce weight and are useful where manoeuvrability is important, while 5.0Ah and 8.0Ah batteries provide greater capacity for longer or more demanding applications. Some tools require or are optimised for specific battery types, so check the individual product specifications before purchasing.
Can Festool tools be connected to a dust extractor?
Yes. Many Festool power tools are designed to connect directly to compatible Festool dust extractors. The CLEANTEC connection provides a secure connection between the tool and extraction hose, while Bluetooth® technology on compatible cordless tools and extractors can provide automatic start-up.
