Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
I like the idea, just wish it was in 18v. Festool CSX kinda makes this useless for me. But thanks for posting.
I have both the CSX and Bosch 12v Brushless drill/driver and love them both and find them to be complimentary with each having their strong suits, I have seen my 18v tools get regulated to DIY chores, I just don't need the power for woodworking and the Bosch EC (brushless) stuff is quite powerful.

Ahh, wish Milwaukee had that. Tied to their 12v system and not interested in spending for the Festool drills. It's really just that eccentric chuck that I'd want. I have a pretty good right angle accessory that I'm happy with.
Though I do have a Bosch 12v tool......hmmmm
They have them on the other side of the pond

Festool doesn't make an eccentric chuck for their 12v drills, only the 90*.

I imagine if Milwaukee perceives the Bosch to be selling well here they will introduce it, if not then they won't. Several manufacturers do this in EU/UK but not here which I think is a shame.
If the CSX was brushless and had the eccentric chuck available I would own two and be more than happy with my drill and driving needs for woodworking. The CSX just has great ergonomics despite the funny look. I bought the Bosch instead of the Milwaukee because I didn't are about all the other 12v tools Milwaukee makes and the Bosch is so tiny compared to their 12v offering, the red ones are about the same size as the Makita sub-compact 18v drills.

I saw this news too and this is fantastic!!! I don't agree with the pricing on Festool drills at all and have used them extensively at my local woodworking store/club where I used to work a few hours a week. I own the Bosch 12volt brushless driver and the trigger control and precision is just as good as the TXS/CXS for less than 1/2 the price. I wish this 12V flexi model would get here quicker than May!
Festool C & T drills have eccentric. The CXS does not because it is so small in diameter that it doesn't need it. It isn't a defect, it is an advantage. There isn't anything else that comes close to the usefulness of a CXS for work in tight spaces. There will be certain tight spots that will work better for one design over another. The C & T drills are moving away from the 12v max and 15v versions as the 18v is so light that there isn't much demand for the lower power units.
Having the different attachments should really help the usefulness of all those tools. The would then do a wide variety of light tasks as the CXS does now.
Thank you for posting. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for this.... I love my Bosch tools!
My wife bought me my first 12V Bosch drill with locking bit holder about 10 yrs ago for my birthday..... when I opened it I though OOOOHHHH it's so tinny (so it must be weak).... what the heck am I going to use it for.
Turns out its a power house that I am constantly sinking 3" screws with still to this day... ya batteries are getting a little old but still good run times
Nice! Hopefully DeWalt will come out with something similar for their 12V line. I have a few 12V tools already and I think 4 batteries.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!
Horse hockey. I have read that over and over again on FOG but it just isn't accurate. The centerline of the chuck on the CSX is about 15/16" from the top of the housing (maybe 1/16" less to the side) and both the C & T drills with the eccentric chuck can get much closer than that. The Bosch PS 32 is within 1/16" top and side of the CSX and is shorter (with the Centrotec chuck installed on the CSX) and about 1/2" taller. Don't get me wrong I love my CSX, it is my first thought when it comes to drilling or driving and I only pick something else up if I need more power or the admittedly odd situation another drill/driver fits where it doesn't. This is why I think the CSX would be my perfect drill with a brushless motor (more power) and an eccentric chuck.
