Oliver,

    Does the Centrotec Rapidapter stay in the unlocked / forward position?  Or do you have to hold it forward to insert / remove bits?

Seth

Hi Seth,

I'm sorry, I have only seen your question now.

Pretty sure it does. I will check later and get back to you!

Kind regards,
Oliver

As expected, it does. :) (Sorry, just noticed it was already clear with @Dick Mahany 's post , I'm a little sidelined right now.)





Kind regards,
Oliver

Hello fellow tool lovers. This is my first post after purchasing Festool tools and joining FOG. I read through this thread before either of those events. I'm using the the TSX cordless drill and the BHS-60-CE. I was using a Milwaukee that requires two hands on the chuck to remove a bit. I don't have a third hand to hold the drill, so that was a bummer and not very ergonomic. I was wasting a lot of time and motion changing bits, which like most of you, I do frequently.

Has anyone noticed the 25mm bits will lock in the BHS adapter but the 50mm bits don't? The bottoms of both bits appear to be the same, so why won't the longer bit lock in?  They both came in the Mini Centrotec kit. The 50mm is easier to handle, especially with gloves, so I prefer them, but they fall out easily.   

As an aside, it's funny that spellcheck on this forum doesn't recognize "Festool"!

Hi,

  Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

   I am guessing that the 50mm bits are the ones that are already Centrotec. They will go directly into the Centrotec chuck on the drill. The BHS 60 CE is essentially a quick change adapter to allow non-Centrotec bits of both wire and  ball detent to be used. Cebtrotec bits will not lock into the adapter, just regular bits.

  So try the 50mm directly in the Centrotec chuck. And use what ever 50mm ball detent bits that you like in the BHS 60 CE.

I finally bought myself one of the BHS-60 'green' bit holders.  $30 well spent.
Literally my only complain with my Festool drills was the lack of good bit holders.  Either ones without any retention or retention that requires 2 hands.
Now I have one hand each switch of bits just like my other WERA adapters.
Centrotec is neat if you have bigger/specific bits, but it's nice they are finally accommodating all the other bits we have laying around.
Plus, I like the bright green - especially on St Patrick's day!

I liked the new bit holder so much that I bought another one that was bundled with a bit set.
Even better, the bit set is one that fits in the attic tray on my T18 systainer.
Had to order from the UK - looks like 'NAINA' (as the kit).

It's the little things that are keeping me sane... :D

Hi,

First post, just received the Festool Ratchet set and it had a new type handle with a fixed BHS-60 bit holder. Very nice in the hand!

Attachment doesn't appear to be showing correctly. Sorry. If anyone can advise how to show correctly.

     Cheers

Looks like a Wera. I have several, both ratcheting and fixed — this handle style is my favorite.

Hello,
The new holder  BHS 60 CE. Good for new TID or is better option out there? I have Wera Impaktor and its good, but i dont like magnet to hold bit. I need mechanical holding power.
Sorry for my english.
Take care. bye

EDIT: BH CE 60 is Centrotec - not for TID18. For TID 18 is BT-IMP SORT3

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Centrotec bit holder BH60CE and BHS 60 CE?

Thanks in advance!

One is a Festool branded Wera Rapidapter that fits into a Centrotec chuck ...............

     https://www.festoolusa.com/accessory/205097---bhs-60-ce


The other is a more standard impact bit holder that fits into a Centrotec chuck............

       https://www.festoolusa.com/accessory/498974---bh-60-ce-imp#Overview


The most important take away though is that the 'S' model is a very nice quick change bit holder the other(s) are more standard style , but all fit into a Centrotec chuck.

Is there a difference between these as for the magnets?

Did you mean except for the magnets?

    Yes, there is a difference. Take note of the shaft design.

                   The top one  is Centrotec with the longer straight rear portion of the shaft.

                   The second one is a regular 1/4" hex bit holder. It will not fit into a Centrotec chuck.

                   I believe the bottom one is the impact version designed for impact drivers. It will not fit into a Centrotec chuck.

      Maybe I or others can help a little more if we know what bit, driver, holder connections you want to make.

Im using the bit holder that came with my CXS drill with festool pozidrive bit. The bit holder cant even hold the pozidrive bit. It is worse than my bosch bit holder magnet. I don't want to use Centrotec Quick Release

Currently it looks like it comes with a BH 60 CE.

Maybe it's just a bad magnet?  Not sure.

 I haven't had a problem with that type not holding bits.  I have , like others , had the magnet come out of the holder. I just super glued it back in.

The Festool magnetic bit holder from the CXS measures 9.58mm at the thickest point.  The Festool magnetic bit holder from the Ti 15 measures 11.08mm at the thickest point.  Both are Centrotec and can be inserted on either tool, but only the thicker one is impact-rated.

Thought I would note for anyone who hasn't picked up a BHS 60 CE yet that Festool has a limited edition set out right now in an adorable Christmas ornament-sized blue systainer. I'm not sure when these became available or how widely distributed they are; my regular dealer had a few when I was in last week and asked if I wanted one because he knows how much of a collector fanboy I am. [eek] The catalog number is 205487, but I don't see it listed on Festool's website anywhere.

Albeit not in blue, but these are/ will be regular items. The last one is impact rated.
