Product details

Work without getting tired

Ideal for screw joints above head height: The 3.0 Ah Compact battery pack weighs only 400 grams – ideal when the focus is on complete ease of use. The 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack is recommended for more power-intensive applications. Powerful enough for any task, yet 20% lighter and 50% more compact than a 5.0 Ah standard battery pack.

One-handed operation

With the magazine attachment, you have one hand completely free to push plasterboard into position or work on ceilings, for example.

Simply faster

The magazine attachment is suitable for all standard 25–55 mm collated screws. Perfect for fast series screw connections.

Matter of cleanliness

Inserting screws into plasterboard always creates dust. This is not a problem because the magazine can be dismantled in seconds without tools and cleaned quickly and easily.

Accurate insertion depths

The depth stop can be attached without tools and adjusted in increments of 0.1 mm. This ensures that the screws are secure at consistent insertion depths. This eliminates the need for time-consuming reworking from the very beginning.

Automatic start/stop

The motor only runs when screws are inserted – and in AUTO mode, the user does not even have to press the main switch. This increases the number of screws inserted per battery charge.

Enormous endurance

The brushless EC-TEC motor requires no maintenance and represents a high level of efficiency and an almost unlimited service life. In conjunction with the Li-ion battery packs, an increase of up to 40% in screwdriving performance per battery charge is possible.

About Festool Tools
Festool makes most sense when tools, extraction and accessories are chosen as parts of one working sequence. This catalogue spans dust extractors, joining and edge-banding equipment, sanders, saws, routers, cordless tools, energy sets and system accessories, so the useful starting point is the job you want to complete rather than a single model name.
