Festool Live Episode 04 - TID 18

[@bennettshfd2]

What is the screw brand you mentioned that are self tapping and countersinking?

[@onecreative1]

Thanks for the excellent explanation showing the difference between an impact driver and a hammer drill.

[@MSRWorkshop]

I’d like you to talk about The LED light on this tool and why they chose to put it here versus on the head like dewalt

[@daveishywood782]

I’ve took the piss out of festool drill for years but the impact tid is awesome with the 4ah batteries which are flat and light for the super fast air stream chargers are highly recommended. I’ve sold my makita drills now . Very impressed

[@richardsak3723]

Why no CID 18?? I'd love a c handle impact gun. C so much more comfortable and controllable for me.

[@warrensmith2902]

Tell us the story behind the bent rail.

[@chiebert290]

Starts at 2:30!

[@moovintruespace]

I have to skip all his intros as I find them loud and unnecessary, so thanks for that.

[@christianbuzio9468]

Hello guys! Thanks so much for sharing And crazy simple complete info on Festool world! I am from Italy and would love to see yours video live and not later on you tube channel. Where I can see live? Btw at wich USA time so I can sincronie with Italian fuse? Thanks in advance! Greatest of all Festool channel, far better than German itself!

[@chuckteague7727]

Sedge, excellent presentation on the different styles of Festool drills. I definitely enjoy the Friday Festool Live although I usually watch them later. The content is perfect, keep it going.

[@jeffzanin5503]

An interesting new tool, nice job on the video. Production values are getting better with every episode.

[@WillLeingang]

When he was toenailing with the impact but realized it was the T18 LOL awesome

[@garyknable1155]

Philippines here and hoping your company gets a distributor here for long and loving these presentations.

[@Dan-qk4ns]

Great show, keep up the live episodes. Love Festool!

[@vvjkumar]

Great job as always. Twice. a week . I cant wait!!

[@mackwoodcock7484]

I love Festool but the Milwaukee M12 Impact Gen 2 is plenty of gun for most situations and has plenty of finesse. I rarely use the m18 3rd generation I have unless im doing really heavy application. If youre doing interior work you want the size of the M12 Gun to carry all day its ideal size and power is undeniable. Theres no reason for M18 impacts to get any stronger at this point the heads/fastners can't handle the power as it is. I want smaller and stronger not just blue and green.

[@toddwhite7975]

When is the impact available to buy July? Great job great tools thank for the videos

[@festoolusa]

Hi Todd! YES. The impact will be available to buy July 1st. Thank you for your kind feedback. :)

[@enyoc3d]

10:38 what brand screw is this? thanks

[@robertrada4783]

John Coyne Spax multi-purpose construction, GRK R4 or some other equivalent (axminster sells screws called “woodspur” that perform quite well).

[@enyoc3d]

Robert Rada thank you!

[@kiwdwks]

Appreciate the Festool videos...thanks!

[@jeffzanin5503]

I think you covered it but I couldn't make it out - does the TID have a Centrotec chuck and you use the adapted to use regular 1/4" hex bits?

[@daveishywood782]

Jeff Zanin I’ve got this drill it takes usual 1/4 hex bits .

[@jeffzanin5503]

@@daveishywood782 Thanks. This make more sense to me at least for the U.S & Canada market. So the green bit holder is just a way to hold the insert bits - it looks like the BHS 60 CE 205097 but with a conventional 1/4" shank instead of Centrotec. I don't see this on the Festool USA site.

[@customerservice-u7r]

pdc ?

[@adriaan7627]

The main drawback of the impact driver is the sound they make. They are heavy on the ears. That's why I don't have them and still holding back buying one.

[@commentsboardreferee7434]

They make impacts that are a good bit quieter now - Milwaukee Surge, Makita Oil Impulse, Ridgid Stealth Force, Ryobi QuietStrike.

[@JustTony72]

I love my Festool products and I've been getting a collection. But I fail to see how this displays the Festool innovation. Maybe it's because I'm in Australia, but this is 3 times the price of a completing Milwaukee or Makita which are both more compact form what I can see and almost impossible to justify.

[@AegirWatches]

Tony I have a lot of Festool stuff, in Australia also. I don’t have the t18 , as I already had a Dewalt impact and drill and other non woodwork items, so invested in the batteries . I do have the cxs 10.8 v, which I love. If you make furniture, it is enough. If my Dewalt dies though, I will replace them with these

[@matthewwysocki5019]

TID 18 isn’t Centrotec compatible, so I had to return it.

[@chrismmun]

T 18 noise free, ahahaah lovely

[@fotopdo]

Sedge, I've been enjoying these presentations very much, I'm new to Festool and I am enjoying seeing the breakdowns within various categories. I would like to offer some constructive critiques of your explanations: Occasionally you go a little deep into a topic and skip over the basics, and that is probably because you live and breath all this info on a daily basis. As an example, your explanation of the difference between a hammer drill and a impact driver was a bit confusing until you showed the example of the wrench on the bolt, which was a great immediate teaching aid. But as for the section preceding, had I not already know how they work I would have been confused. If you had started with the wrench example for impact and a hammer on a steel rod [ala John Henry the steel driven' man] for the Hammer drill you'd have explained it in 10 seconds. I was also unclear if the TID uses a centronic chuck in addition to standard hex bits. Another example from the Dust collector vid, you didn't introduce the CT 36 AC as being primarily for use with the Planex, and for drywall dust, we had to figure that out as the presentation went along. Again, trying to be constructive and I really enjoy and appreciate the content!

[@brianoneill350]

Love the Dewalt impact. Three button click, no flashing lights. Demo sounds like Festool just invented the impact driver. Just don't get it.

[@adriaan7627]

That T-18 did a better screw in than the TID-18 and you don't even admit it :(

[@ralphlivingston894]

I’m really interested in the tools but I wish the gentleman would dial down the goofiness… He’s at an 11, he needs to dial it down to 1. It doesn’t help the presentation, It distracts from everything.

[@raysphotoz]

Why do you start out saying you will follow the 6’ rule and the camera man is within a 1’ taking video?

[@peterpauly2527]

Brushless and uses standard bits? Wow. Festool is getting smart. Hopefully you'll come out with a new CXS that is brushless and doesn't use proprietary bits.

[@alstrom2091]

Info is good but does he have to overdo everything - I find this very watch.

[@adriaan7627]

very un watchable. I don't think Sedge was that way when he was little, but he acts like a toddler. Why and when did he try to be one? Very bad character for the Festool brand, but the info is good.

[@moovintruespace]

@@adriaan7627 Couldn't agree more. I literally refuse to listen to his intros, he's too much and too loud. Germans are low key, his misrepresentation of the company is a joke. He changed when he started wearing Festools clothing. Now he thinks he owns the company 😴

[@mattcable6379]

ping me Sedge. you know me from nowhere, but i think you're selling this all wrong.

[@angelaslaney1514]

He calms down after about 3 minutes and becomes vaguely normal. Starting there is recommended. Don't expect too much, the poor dear gets a bit confused.

[@antzanton4842]

Don’t get me wrong l love Festool but shouldn’t you be embarrassed that your 20 years behind other tool companies

[@walterlane8890]

I honestly think my Milwaukee m18 would smoke that thing.

[@misterx426]

Your not where in a mask just saying

[@MattLitkeRacing]

Tim Keller relax

[@misterx426]

Matthew Litke Very relaxed it’s just that he said they are wherein masks
