Thread: Last Off the shelf price on discontinued c12 kit. Last sold at?

Hi Barry,

Can you give us some more info? What is a C12 kit? Thanks.

Dumped for the CXS in 2013 I believe.

This is probably close to the last price: 2013 C12 on Fe$tool

That's it.
Many thanks.

If anyone had the chance to buy the kit new,
Systainer, drill, charger, two batteries and just the chuck
for $350
would you?

Don't think I would. Those batteries will have been sitting around for some time - might be decent if they've been stored correctly. Can you get replacements? Factor in the price and you're probably knocking on the door of the price for the set originally when it had a warranty.

If you can't get replacements you'd need to be happy with rebuilding the packs.

And if the batteries are new?

New bats would make it a bit more attractive, as would knowing that more are available (note that I'm not in the market for another driver myself).

However, given that a new 12V CXS set (with three chucks) is only $525, with Festool's 3 year warranty, I'd just buy new.

Thanks for the replies.

I did mention that.

Their reply was that the Mini doesn't stack up against the C12.

Might just be them trying to make a sale.

More dust to inhale:
C12 or CXS

Thanks to all who replied.


Sorry gents.
I would have answered each query as soon as they were posted.
But for some reason I don't get notices.

So I've really messed this up.

This is best drill Festool made, light weight, powerful and comes close to your work area, well balanced and light. This model has been discontinued. This one was one of the last ones Festool produced.
...
(also updated after my first contact)
Batteries can be charged on 18V later model chargers as well and ditto this charger can charge later 18V batteries.

Instead of the 2 new batteries of 1.2ah happy to provide 2 slightly used ones at 2.6ah ones. Your choice.

Thanks in advance
