Default Festool drill - well worth the money.

Today, I was working alongside a bloke who had a Festool drill / driver.
I have never seen them in the flesh before, and was rather sceptical of
their value, being as they are roughly 3 times the price of a 'normal'
drill from Bosch/Makita et al.

Anyway, my view has totally changed. They are truly excellent.
They come with 3 differing chucks,and a driver chuck. These chucks are
changed in less than 10 seconds, they are eccentric chuck, std. chuck,
angled chuck, and the driver head chuck.
The head ensures all drilling/driving is self centring.
In use they are very smooth, and apparently, the 12v version is as good
as other makes 18v drills.

The only downside is that I have to find £350 to buy one now.
Alan.
