Festool TID 18 C 3,1-Set T18 Cordless Impact Driver and Drill Set
At a Glance: Professional 18V twin-tool set with a powerful 180Nm TID 18 impact driver, versatile T 18+3 drill driver, two 3.1Ah batteries, rapid charger and Systainer³ storage.
Take on demanding drilling, fastening and installation work with the Festool TID 18 C 3,1-Set T18 Cordless Impact Driver and Drill Set. This professional 18V combination kit brings together two highly capable Festool machines: the compact TID 18 cordless impact driver for powerful, wrist-friendly screwdriving and the versatile T 18+3 cordless drill for accurate drilling and controlled fastening. Both tools use efficient, maintenance-free brushless EC-TEC motors for excellent performance, durability and battery endurance. The TID 18 delivers up to 180Nm of torque through a robust tangential hammer mechanism that produces virtually no strength-sapping reverse torque at the handle. The T 18+3 complements it with two-speed operation, fully electronic torque adjustment and the FastFix attachment system. Two compact BP 18 Li 3,1 C battery packs, a TCL 6 rapid charger and an organised SYSTAINER SYS3 M 237 complete a versatile mobile system for professional workshop, installation and construction applications.
Use the T 18+3 for accurate drilling, controlled screwdriving and applications requiring a conventional drill chuck. Switch to the TID 18 when maximum fastening performance, rapid screw installation and reduced wrist strain are required. Both machines operate on the same Festool 18V battery platform, allowing the supplied batteries to be exchanged quickly between tools.

Extra Information
- The TID 18 is intended for impact screwdriving and uses compatible 1/4-inch hex bits and accessories.
- The T 18+3 is the preferred machine for conventional drilling, controlled screwdriving and use with cylindrical-shank drill bits.
- T-mode is specially designed for controlled installation of self-drilling screws.
- The T 18+3 retains its selected screwdriving torque when switching temporarily into drilling mode.
- Compatible FastFix accessories can expand the T 18+3 for angled, close-to-edge and depth-controlled screwdriving.
- The supplied compact battery packs are particularly suitable for assembly, drilling and screwdriving applications where low weight is important.
- The TCL 6 rapid charger is compatible with most Festool lithium-ion battery packs from the 10.8V to 18V voltage classes, subject to Festool compatibility exclusions.
- The SYSTAINER SYS3 M 237 can connect with compatible Systainer generations, mobile dust extractors, roll boards and other Festool transport accessories.
- Use impact-rated bits and accessories with the TID 18 wherever the application requires high impact loads.
Pro Tips
- Use the T 18+3 to drill pilot holes and the TID 18 to install the screws, keeping both machines set up to save time during repetitive work.
- Begin impact screwdriving at the lowest suitable speed level before increasing power for larger fasteners.
- Select T-mode when installing self-drilling screws to reduce the risk of overdriving or stripping the connection.
- Use the T 18+3 electronic torque control for visible fittings and delicate materials where consistent screw depth is important.
- Choose sharp drill bits and correctly sized screwdriver bits to reduce battery consumption and protect the fastener head.
- Allow the tool to provide the driving force instead of applying excessive forward pressure.
- Rotate the supplied batteries between the tools and charger to maintain an uninterrupted workflow.
- Keep the ventilation slots and battery contacts clean and free from dust or metal swarf.
How to Use
- Inspect the selected tool, battery pack, chuck and accessory before use.
- Charge a supplied BP 18 Li 3,1 C battery pack fully with the TCL 6 rapid charger.
- Slide the charged battery pack onto the selected machine until it locks securely.
- For impact fastening, insert a suitable impact-rated 1/4-inch bit into the TID 18 tool holder.
- For drilling, install the FastFix keyless chuck on the T 18+3 and secure the correctly sized drill bit.
- Select the required direction of rotation, gear and operating mode for the application.
- Set an appropriate torque level on the T 18+3 when controlled screwdriving is required.
- Position the tool squarely against the fastener or drilling point.
- Start slowly to establish control, then increase speed as the accessory enters the material.
- Release the trigger once the required screw depth or drilling depth has been reached.
- Allow the machine and accessory to stop completely before changing bits, chucks or settings.
- Remove the battery pack before cleaning, maintenance or extended storage.
- Return the tools, batteries, charger and accessories to the Systainer after use.
Features
- TID 18 tangential impact mechanism: Produces high fastening torque without the strong reactive twisting associated with conventional drilling machines.
- Maximum 180Nm torque: Provides the power required for large screws and demanding construction fastening.
- Three TID 18 speed settings: Allows rotational speed and impact performance to be matched to the fastener and material.
- Automatic T-mode: Detects the transition from metal into the supporting material and adjusts speed for controlled self-drilling screw installation.
- Quick-release 1/4-inch holder: Enables fast, tool-free changes of compatible impact-rated bits.
- T 18+3 two-speed gearbox: Provides strong torque in first gear and faster drilling performance in second gear.
