Thanks everyone for your input, it's all been really helpful. After talking it over with my wife and weighing up the options, she said "it sounds like you want the festool so just go for it" - wise words so I'll be the owner of a CXS on Tuesday

Ultimately it's not the most powerful of the small drills, there's no offset head or hammer function and the batteries only serve the one tool, but so many users here and elsewhere absolutely sing it's praises and love the thing so I'm looking forward to joining the club. The systainer is an added value too, if I got the Bosch or Milwaukee the case would end up relegated to a shelf somewhere gathering dust.

Looking forward to playing with my new toy in a couple of days and if anyone can point me to a good value set of centrotec drill bits I'm all ears, the prices look a little scary from where I'm sitting

[QUOTE="frankendoodle65, post: 1640165, member: 26043"] Thanks everyone for your input, it's all been really helpful. After talking it over with my wife and weighing up the options, she said "it sounds like you want the festool so just go for it" - wise words so I'll be the owner of a CXS on Tuesday 😁 Ultimately it's not the most powerful of the small drills, there's no offset head or hammer function and the batteries only serve the one tool, but so many users here and elsewhere absolutely sing it's praises and love the thing so I'm looking forward to joining the club. The systainer is an added value too, if I got the Bosch or Milwaukee the case would end up relegated to a shelf somewhere gathering dust. Looking forward to playing with my new toy in a couple of days and if anyone can point me to a good value set of centrotec drill bits I'm all ears, the prices look a little scary from where I'm sitting 😂 [/QUOTE]
