[@duanehurley2105]

What I appreciate the most about how festool evolves. The systainers all connect together wether it's version 1 to 2 and now 3. The battery style hasn't changed it just gets smarter. Other brands have changed over the years and it's disposable. I'm hooked.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Great points

[@BroncoSteven69]

I like your honest reviews. You touch on points I actually value. Thanks man!

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

For me, the clutch is really important feature for what I use a drill for. The Festool sounds quieter too. Looks like a winner. Daniel

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

It's very quiet

[@MrAlveyKid]

Lately I've been getting more and more interested in festool.

[@sicr7373]

Me too, great quality tools for sure.

[@johansaldarriaga660]

Festool tools are expensive but they are well made and the ergonomics is what make people buy them. Thanks for the videos.

[@julianweiser9985]

They are also mostly made in Germany heh

[@StrivingForPerfection]

Thank you for finally explaining what that bearing at the end of the drill is for (to hold on to for precision)

[@notastewater3209]

Finally a new Review, really love your channel. You should have a lot more subscribers.Keep it up. 👍👍

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Much appreciated!

[@moguga6357]

At some point in my life I used Festool instruments.. amazing results and a joy to use. When my life took a turn I put my collection on sale for 25% off the original price - there was a line of people eager to buy.

[@mrjellow]

I hope your life is back on track now my man.

[@philhinkes3768]

Thanks for your honesty.

[@maximusprime9441]

I have never tried Festool power tools, but Thanks to your videos I would like to try them out.

[@tooloptics8651]

Festool are on another level when it comes to the balance and feel of their tools. Very few brands can compete in those areas.

[@levey2]

love your channel, no nonsense just content.

[@jenniferstinert5498]

LOVE, LOVE the case! I think every tool should come with a case to protect your tools. The cases alone would make me change to this brand! Thank you for your opinions on what you like and don’t like. It’s refreshing to get honest reviews.

[@bakerbuildingllc622]

I really like the festool they are so simple yet perfect and well thought out

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Well put

[@Quadrille763]

My new favorite channel

[@NPrints]

Great review. Really appreciate the way you approach reviews. I have some festool stuff and rarely see reviewers take as much stock in ergonomics. It's more important than some people think.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks Nathan. I definitely agree, I've always found ergonomics to be the most important factor in being able to use a tool safely at a very high level.

[@anthonyhamby4622]

This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on the festool drills!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks Anthony

[@diogenes34]

Thanks for the Festool review it is good to learn more about them I am a plumber and have been using Milwaukee tools for years or I should say decades. Battery tools have changed the where I buy tools dramatically when the battery tools first came up they are really handy but not all that great and I have used several different brands over the years.

[@rc10street]

Looks like a great drill to add to the quiver

[@shield400]

I've been wanting this drill for a while. Thank you for the in depth review.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks for watching!

[@adamgevarter108]

Great review.

[@taylora3633]

I really like my t18 with the changeable chucks. It does everything I could ever want from a drill and much more. I have found powerhouse drills like the Milwaukee’s very uncomfortable too use exactly because they’re so powerful. Another nice thing with the t18-3 is you can use the CXS Jacob chuck on it

[@michaelplays2449]

Good video. thanks

I haven't pulled the trigger on any Festool stuff yet, but I'd love to try it someday.

Thanks Mark!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the support!

[@j.thorgard]

Enjoyed your review. I also value ergonomics, would love to get this in my hands.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

It's definitely a drill to check out at the tool store if you have one around. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@johndumontelle1304]

Seems pretty nice

[@brentdiez7012]

I don't have any festool tools. but I am green with envy.

[@anikan369]

I’ve been leaning up upgrading from my Ryobi. Need a better clutch. And that may have sold me. Thanks

[@DCVGORDON]

Looks like a great drill, Festool truly think about the user experience!

[@roboto1138]

Festool products are expensive, but they are a pleasure to use.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

100% agree, the price is a bitter pill! Often times too bitter

[@jewelbos1195]

Best video to date!!! Great info👏

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Glad you think so!

[@petarsimon1697]

Really like the review. Keep it coming😃

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks Petar

[@seanlougheed6688]

I do a fair amount of finer woodworking and have been wondering if the Festool drill and impact would be worth the price upgrade. Great info! You have given me a ton of food for thought. Thanks so much.

[@matteason989]

I could definitely use that drill

[@znewfer2106]

Nice review.

[@chicagohandyman]

Yes, a new video upload!!! 👌👍

[@WyattH]

That clutch though 😍

[@davidguy6408]

Awesome review, I’ve been strictly dewalt but getting into a few metabo HPT tools. Always love looking at Festool when I go to Lee valley but thought could never justify the price. Really need a new high quality vacuum/dust extractor and really want bite the bullet on one of the Festool ones cause they seem to be top of the line. Love to see you do a review on one of them.

[@jayshippy9798]

I have been eyeballing that drill

[@markfredericks9892]

Thanks for this review. Give us a closer look at your truck bed/systainer workbench set up. That looked very clever

[@granjitsingh]

Looks like a good drill, I might be interested in this

[@markmall7142]

Might as well buy the T18+3 with removable chucks .Only dislike ive had with mine is that I occasionally knock it into reverse . Or purchase the C18 which has arguably better ergonomics.

[@JGV_IX]

The 18v jigsaw is a gateway tool - you’ll be hooked and want everything from the Vecturo to the angle grinder 😬

[@Danko88]

they sure make a nice case !!

[@m.d.e.845]

I would start my own carpentry business with a drill like that!

[@savchuktaras]

Learning a lot of skills from your channel! You’re like a older brother who’s teaching me life tricks. As for me, I’m a newly wed; without any tools yet... we’re just starting out, our adult lives. I’m hoping to find some favor in your decision making when picking a winner of the drill. Keep up the videos because I’m ready to learn more. Be blessed!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks a lot for checking out the channel, I’m happy you’re finding it helpful!

[@BRKLYNWOOD-DesignBuildInspire]

Love it! keep up the videos, big fan

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Appreciate it big time!

[@philyfanta6888]

Nice Drill 😁👍🏻 Definitely worth the money! Nice Video 👍🏻

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks. I'll be sad to give it away!

[@andrewmonroe7440]

Love the channel! Awesome review!! I'm a die hard Milwaukee guy but some of these new 18 volt festools are sweet. I've got a festools ct26 and corded track saw. Kinda wish I would have gotten the cordless track saw. Keep up the good work!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

I regret getting a corded track saw as well!

[@ryandroutman1074]

Another great vid, man! I’m moving to NZ, soon- any advice on switching to 240 v tools?

[@username3300]

Nice drill

[@communis_]

The smoothness though

[@DrVelvet]

Nice review. I think the price comparison with the Milwaukie makes a strong argument to go with the Festool. Thanks for posting man.

[@Dgizuss]

Great video! I'd love to get my hand on this drill!

[@jasonhull2163]

I am so glad you explained Festool down to a perfect explanation. I have always told people Festool is more precision than other brands. Milwaukee, Makita etc as you said are more of a powerful wild beast. Subscribed and thank you for great video.

[@basketball798]

Makita tools are insanely reliable. They never break essentially it's unbelievable

[@jasonhull2163]

@@basketball798 They had a hammer drill issue but re launched it. Some people are still stuck with the earlier model that over heats.

[@pertherjelyng8879]

entertaining and informative review, like the chanel a lot, subscriber from Norway here!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks a lot Per I appreciate it! Cheers from Canada

[@MrJruta]

Thanks for the video- I like this drill. I’m watching it midway but have concerns about durability of the plastic as I believe you mentioned the thin-feel previously. Has it changed or improved? I’m surprised with the price point it’s not super tough. I’d hate to destroy it with a drop to the floor (I don’t ever abuse my stuff but crap happens) Thanks Edit- sorry I was referring to the CXS. Never mind Lol

[@anthonyprima858]

Just found your channel, this is amazing!

[@kyleschembri1219]

Loving the videos. Keep up the great work. Please add my ticket in the hat!

[@westleykaz]

Nice.

[@kubilayylmaz1716]

I just ordered near my cxs18v we will see how is it looklike in the hands if I don't like I will return buy tpc model one.

[@meatballsalad]

I've been eyeballing this drill, big time. That loose ring on the nose of the chuck would drive me batshit crazy every time it rattles. Glad you pointed that out!!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Meatball Salad I’m thinking you could put some silicone on there and stop it from rattling. That’s what I would have done if I kept the drill.

[@meatballsalad]

@@TheFunnyCarpenter i was thinking about that as well. I would think it's only use is what you mentioned 🤷‍♂️ I've never seen one like that and could live without that "feature" lol

[@thomasdavis610]

Great Review On a tool I would love to have.

[@fazmanicg]

great videos!! keep em comin

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks a lot Peter!

[@aok9]

Damn that clutch is nice!

[@zackmerrill8593]

I’m kinda diggin that case

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

The cases are very nice- I should have a review on them in the next few weeks-ish...😂 I never know when something else will pop up that I’d rather make a video about. I’ve been trying to make the sustainer vid for months.

[@brettennison3851]

Great video, awesome drill too!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Glad you enjoyed it

I've heard great things about Festool, like they are the Ferrari of carpentry tools

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

They do make some nice tools for sure!

Thanks for the giveaway! I do have a milwaukee drill but have been looking at this one to get back into festool. I plan on getting a domino again eventually.
