Festool has officially unveiled its Fall product lineup, delivering a massive wave of innovation designed to elevate precision, runtime, and jobsite mobility.
From re-engineered cordless saws featuring sensor-based safety to high-capacity tabless battery technology and multi-bay rapid charging, this release addresses every corner of the modern workshop.
Whether you are a cabinetmaker, finish carpenter, or timber framer, here is everything you need to know about the flagship tools, system accessories, and limited-time starter sets landing in this launch.
Breakthrough Saws: TSC 55 KS & HKC 55 K
Cutting accuracy and user safety take center stage with two upgraded cordless circular saws.
TSC 55 KS Cordless Track Saw: The industry-standard plunge-cut saw gets a major overhaul. It features a slimmer motor housing that remains within the width of the guide rail, eliminating clearance issues around clamps and workpieces. Integrated sensor-based KickbackStop technology actively detects binding and stops the blade in milliseconds to protect both user and material.
HKC 55 K Cordless Carpentry Saw: Designed for fast, repeatable crosscuts and framing on the go, the new HKC 55 K incorporates the same electronic KickbackStop system and a built-in riving knife. Paired with FSK cross-cutting rails, it turns framing and timber cutting into a portable miter-saw station.
Both saws benefit from Festool’s new 1.6 mm thin-kerf saw blades. By reducing cutting resistance, these blades draw less amperage, significantly boosting battery runtime per charge without sacrificing cut quality.
2. Next-Gen Power: TBX 8 Tabless Battery & Rapid Charger
Powering the new cordless generation is a major leap in Lithium-ion technology.
| Feature | Details | Key Benefit |
| TBX 8 Tabless Battery (8.0 Ah) | Tabless cell construction for lower internal resistance. | Up to 31% more cuts per charge with minimal heat buildup under continuous heavy load. |
| SYS-MC 6/4 Rapid Charger | Charges up to four 18V batteries simultaneously from one wall outlet. | Built into a Systainer format with dual USB-C ports for mobile charging. |
The TBX 8 battery also retains Bluetooth® connectivity to auto-start paired Festool dust extractors the moment you pull the trigger.
3. High-Precision Accessories & Workshop Lighting
Festool’s system approach means power tools are only half the story. The Fall launch includes essential workflow upgrades:
-
Cutline Light Modules (LM-TS/TSC): Add-on LED modules mount directly to track saws and sanders to cast shadow-free light along the cut line or surface.
-
FS-EP Depth Position Indicators: Attachments for guide rails that display the exact entry and exit points of plunge cuts, eliminating guesswork during cutout operations.
-
CT-ASA FLX Boom Arms: Overhead hose and cable management attachments for CT dust extractors to keep hoses clear of the workpiece.
-
SK-CT/SYS Seat Cushion: Turns any standard Systainer or mobile dust extractor into a padded kneeling pad or workshop seat.
4. Limited-Edition Promo Packages
For woodworkers looking to join or expand within the Festool ecosystem, the Fall release introduces limited-time bundle sets:
KAPEX KS 120 Miter Saw Set: Includes trimming attachments and underframe stands for portable precision.
PLANEX LHS 2 225 Drywall Sander Package: Bundled with a CT 36 AutoClean Dust Extractor for efficient, dust-free drywall finishing.
Final Thoughts
The Festool Fall launch focuses on solving real-world jobsite challenges: eliminating cord clutter, extending cordless runtimes, improving dust extraction, and enhancing user safety. Whether you are upgrading your track saw or expanding your charging ecosystem, these new releases offer instant efficiency gains for any shop.
