FAQs

Is the battery and charger included with this drill?

No, the Festool TPC 18/4 I-Basic QUADRIVE is typically sold as a body-only tool. A compatible Festool 18V battery and charger must be purchased separately.

What is the maximum drill bit size for wood?

The drill can handle drilling up to 70 mm in wood with Forstner drill bits. For standard twist bits, the chuck capacity is up to 13 mm.

Can this drill be used for masonry work?

Yes, the TPC 18/4 features an axial impact function that can be activated for drilling into masonry. Ensure the correct mode is selected.

What is the purpose of the Kickback Stop?

The Kickback Stop is an intelligent safety feature designed to detect when the drill bit suddenly jams. It immediately stops the motor's rotation, minimizing the risk of the tool twisting dangerously in your hand.

How do I choose the right gear for my task?

Gear 1 offers high torque for driving large screws. Gear 2 is balanced for general drilling. Gear 3 is for high-speed drilling. Gear 4 is for very high-speed applications. Refer to the manual for specific recommendations.

The drill offers a maximum torque of 75 N⋅m in 1st gear and 50 N⋅m in 2nd gear.

Troubleshooting

Drill not powering on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Try a different compatible battery.

Reduced power or performance

Check battery charge level. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of debris. Verify the correct gear and torque setting is selected for the task.

Chuck difficult to open or close

Clean any dust or debris from the chuck mechanism. If the issue persists, the chuck may require servicing.

Impact function not engaging

Confirm that the tool is set to the correct mode for hammer drilling (if applicable to specific model variants) and that the battery is sufficiently charged. Ensure the axial impact function is activated if designed for masonry.
