What is included with the Festool T 18+3-Basic cordless drill?
The 577607 Basic set includes the drill, a CENTROTEC chuck, magnetic bit holder, half-inch keyless chuck, PH2 and T25 bits, a belt clip, and a SYS3 DF M 187 Systainer case. It does not include a battery or charger.
What battery and charger does this drill require?
This is an 18V bare tool, so the purchase does not provide the power source. Plan to use a compatible Festool 18V battery and charger from the same platform, purchased separately; the listed Basic set specifically excludes both the battery and charger.
What speed, torque, and drilling capacities does it have?
The drill has two selectable speed ranges: 0–450 and 0–1,500 rpm. Festool documents maximum torque of 35 N-m in wood and 50 N-m in steel, with drilling capacity up to 1-3/4 inches in wood and 1/2 inch in steel.
Which chucks and attachments can the T 18+3-Basic use?
Its FastFix interface accepts the supplied CENTROTEC chuck, magnetic bit holder, and half-inch keyless chuck. Festool also lists optional angle, eccentric, and depth-stop attachments, allowing the tool configuration to be adapted for different drilling and driving tasks.
How long is the Festool warranty for this drill?
Festool describes a three-year all-inclusive service program for eligible tools, including wear coverage under its terms. The full benefits require timely registration, so review the current registration conditions after purchase rather than assuming coverage is automatic.
