Festool TPC 18/4 I-Basic 18V QUADRIVE Cordless Percussion Drill (Body Only, T-LOC Systainer)

The Festool TPC 18/4 QUADRIVE is a brushless 18V cordless percussion drill built around a four-speed all-metal gearbox, delivering up to 75Nm in steel and spinning to 3,600rpm in top gear. A switchable axial hammer action tackles masonry, while the FastFix interface allows tool-free swaps between the keyless chuck, CENTROTEC bit holder and angle/eccentric attachments. Electronic torque control (2–20Nm) and Festool's KickbackStop anti-twist safety make it a premium choice for professional joiners and fit-out trades. Supplied in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 187.

The verdictOur take

The Festool TPC 18/4 is unusual in this group: an 18V QUADRIVE combi with a four-speed gearbox, where almost every rival makes do with two, giving finer control across drilling and driving. It is brushless, rated at 75Nm, drills 70mm in wood, and runs notably quiet at 76 dB(A), with Festool's usual build quality. We rate it a refined choice for finish-focused trades already in the Festool system; for raw torque, the DeWalt DCD1007 or Milwaukee FPD3 hit harder, but neither offers the four-speed control.
