The TID 18 cordless impact screwdriver has an impressive service life thanks to its extremely robust hammer mechanism. The perfect combination of the new-generation brushless EC-TEC motor and the 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack ensures maximum performance and endurance. Moreover, the turning screw will take the full force of the TID 18 with its ¼" tool holder – with no strain at all on your wrist. This is thanks to the tangential hammer mechanism with no strength-sapping back torque. The machine weight of just 960 grams also allows you to work for longer without becoming tired.

The new TID 18 cordless impact screwdriver boasts a brushless and extremely powerful new-generation EC-TEC motor. The compact powerhouse with its extremely robust hammer mechanism has further advantages. For example, it is ready for unlimited, long-lasting use thanks to durable quality components. The compact design of the new cordless impact screwdriver enables you to work accurately and for longer without becoming tired, even in hard-to-reach areas. On top of that, the new TID 18 is fully covered thanks to the comprehensive services of Festool SERVICE. The wide range of services includes a three-year warranty for the machine and battery packs.

Intelligent and powerful
The TID 18 cordless impact screwdriver offers extremely strong performance for all screwdriving with a maximum torque of 180 newton metres. Its three speed settings and intelligent T-mode for work that is adapted to the material means that the screwdriver can provide the right power for any screwdriving application – and the kickback-free tangential hammer protects your wrist. When screwdriving from sheet metal to wood with self-tapping screws, the intelligent "T-mode" detects the transition between sheet metal and wood and automatically adapts the speed. When switching on the machine and starting the drilling process with a low torque, the machine turns at maximum speed without impact loading to ensure effective drilling. Once the torque increases due to the commencing screwdriving process (= gripping the thread in the wood), the machine independently reduces the speed and only then begins impact loading. In addition to the T-mode, users have three other gears that can provide the right speed for any work.

The advantages of three gears and T-mode:

• Protection against the screwhead braking off
• Protection against the screw spinning ("endless thread")
• Selection of speeds adapted to the material
• Precise screwdriving of smaller screws
• Any damage to screws or attachments is be avoided

Perfect ergonomics – sophisticated right down to the smallest detail
Other advantages offered by the new cordless impact screwdriver are its perfect ergonomics, compact design and low machine weight of just 960 grams. The magnetic bit holder has also been perfectly integrated on the left-hand and right-hand side at the base of the machine. This recessed position at the sides prevents the bits from being stripped accidentally. The practical belt clip can also be fitted on the left-hand or right-hand side, as required. The skilfully positioned LED working light means that you can illuminate the work area without any irritating shadows. Overall, the machine provides excellent handling – even when used for long periods of time or overhead jobs. The IMPACT principle means that the TID 18 operates without back torque, therefore allowing you to work for long periods of time and without tiring.

Cordless power for every application
For applications with high power requirements, the 4.0 Ah Li-HighPower Compact battery pack is the ideal powerful, compact and lightweight solution. For even less weight, the 3.1 Ah Compact battery pack is an ideal option for light screw joints. The new TID 18 is available at specialist retailers from April and comes packaged in the new Systainer³.
