Festool announced the expansion of its product lineup with the introduction of the Cordless DOMINO Joiner DFC 500, alongside several other new power tool solutions designed to enhance precision, portability, and workflow efficiency for professional tradespeople.
Festool's Cordless DOMINO Joiner represents a significant addition to the company's renowned DOMINO family. This new product offers the same precision-engineered joint-cutting capability but is now untethered from power outlets through integration with Festool's 18V battery system. Built-in indexing pins facilitate fast and accurate setup, while the option to connect a mobile dust extractor ensures clean, dust-free operation for precise cuts. The cordless model also incorporates smart features accessible through a Festool app, allowing users to track the tool's location, access tips, update software, or request service directly from their mobile device.
