Festool USA (Lebanon, Ind.) won two Pro Tool Innovation Awards for its TSC 55 cordless track saw and the BHC 18 cordless rotary hammer.
The TSC 55 won the 18 volt cordless track saw category. It is described as one of the most versatile, precise cutting systems available, the company said in a statement. It is able to cut through 100 meters of sheet goods on a single charge.
The judges had this to say:
Festool’s 18V Track Saw is more than just a circular saw on a track. It’s a precision track saw that really does offer incredibly straight cuts. Powered by two batteries, those cuts are also powerful. One of the things Festool does really well is design tools around a system—a system that usually includes class-leading dust collection. The TSC 55 is no exception and even does a phenomenal job of dust collection with just the collection bag attached to the dust port.
The BHC rotary hammer won because it reduced vibration in use more than the competition, the judges said.
