The Festool CXS 18 C 3.0-Plus is the evolution of Festool’s compact screwdriver platform, delivering full 18V performance in an ultra-light and highly manoeuvrable body. Designed for installers, joiners and fit-out professionals, it combines precision control with serious drilling and driving capability.
Its ergonomic C-shape design keeps the hand aligned with the drilling axis, ensuring maximum control even in tight or awkward positions. The brushless EC-TEC motor provides strong, consistent performance while maintaining excellent efficiency and runtime on the included 3.0 Ah battery packs.
With FastFix and CENTROTEC compatibility, tool changes are instant, and the system can be expanded with multiple attachments for angled, offset or depth-controlled applications. Despite its power, the CXS 18 remains extremely compact and lightweight for fatigue-free work throughout the day.
