The new Festool Impact TID18 is coming along with the new 3rd generation systainers. There is also a new T18 E drill coming which was a surprise. The drill is a seemingly good deal apart from a non removable metal chuck instead of a quick change chuck. The drill is priced at $199 usd for the bare tool kit and for $299 you can get the kit which comes with 2 of the new high power 4.0 ah bluetooth batteries and a charger. I feel this is actually a pretty good value for a Festool product considering you get 2 batteries and a charger for only $299. Other kits include a TID 18 and T18 kit or a TID 18 PDC 18 kit. There are also some updated one tool kits that come with the new systainers. Another surprise was some more multi tool combo kits. TID and TSC kit, TID and HKC kit, and a TID and PS 420 kit. There were 2 kits that came with 4 tools each. A PRO Finish kit TID, TSC, PS420, and T18 kit was the first. The second is a PRO Remodeler kit with TID, PDC, HKC, and OSC. Each tool in both the kits come with their own systainer plus you get 2 extra systainers. You also get 4 batteries, a charger, a right angle chuck, and an extra tsc/hkc blade. The PRO finish kit also comes with extra jigsaw blades. The PRO Remodeler kit swaps out the jigsaw blades for OMT blades and it also includes a track for the HKC. ToolNut advertizes upto $499 in savings if you buy the tools in a kit.
More products coming to Europe. A second generation planex which has an integrated light system that can be turned on or off, eccentric rotation, and brushless motor. It still retains the ability to have extensions for longer reach which was removed in the planex easy. It also comes in the new xxl systainer.
A new cordless edge sander. looks very much like the etsc 150 but with extra features. It has a soft and a hard mode. The guide can be set at different angles. The guide is removable and you can buy it separate. There is also a new toprock systainer radio coming.
I wish we would get some of the cool products over here.

usually we are half a year behind Europe. I believe everything I listed in the first post above is available in North America.
Edge sander guide for ets/etsc 125 is available in October. Comes in kits and by itself. New 36 to 27 mm reducer hose end available then as well. Allows for 36 mm hoses to connect to 27mm dust ports. The CT 48 is now getting an Autoclean option. This option comes with 36mm tapered hose the 36 to 27 reducer end and a couple cleaning tools included. There is also a new installers systainer kit. It’s basically a more cost effective way to get certain systainers vs buying seperate.
