Key Features

Compact C-Handle Control

The C-handle layout keeps your hand in line with the bit, which makes the Festool CXS 12 2.5Ah Cordless Drill Kit easier to guide when you're driving screws in cabinets, drawers, and other tight spots.

Brushless Everyday Power

The EC-TEC brushless motor gives this compact drill-driver real working power without adding bulk, so you get more torque than the previous generation in a tool that still stays light in the hand.

FastFix Versatility

Quick-change chucks and the included angle attachment let you switch from drilling to fastening and corner work without wasting time hunting for another tool.

Overview

The Festool CXS 12 2.5Ah Cordless Drill Kit, model 576869, is a compact cordless drill-driver built for precise drilling and fastening in finish work, cabinet installation, furniture assembly, and general punch-list tasks. This is a drill-driver designed for light and medium drilling and driving in wood, metal, and plastic. If you want a tool that fits where a full-size drill gets clumsy, this is the one you grab first.

What makes this model matter is the balance between size and usable power. Festool rates it at 10.8V with a 2-speed gearbox that runs from 0 to 470 RPM in first gear and 0 to 1,600 RPM in second gear. That gives you low-speed control for screwdriving and enough top-end speed for common drilling jobs. Max torque reaches 150.5 in-lb in wood and 265.5 in-lb in steel, so this is not just a trim tool. It has enough output for real install work while staying light at 1.54 lbs.
