Festool drill - well worth the money.

Look at a Hilti.

Haven't tried the drills, but have tried the circular saws - and when I next replace, I'd seriously consider one (along with a Maffel).

On the CS I liked the track system, the precision adjustments (and consequently the beautiful cuts), the dust extraction, the detachable power lead and the systainer (which is compatible with Metabo).

"Our" carpenter (a friend who does carpentry) has just replaced most of his tools with a Festool system. I can see why.

My son recently purchased one of these and I have been using quite a lot recently. It is very, very good. The offset chuck is almost worth the extra money alone!

The one thing that I didn't like was that the torque setting was set a little high for my liking. It would overdrive a short wood screw in mdf on it's lowest torque setting. Festools "work around" to this was to switch to the higher speed where the lowest torque setting was less - I suppose that makes sense but a bit of a cop out.

My grotty old Makita does not have that problem. Seems to have a much lower torque setting at the lower end.

I agree.

I have a C12, and it's certainly my most used cordless tool. Torque/speed control and clutch are streets ahead of the rest of the market.
