Festool HKC 55 KEB-Basic 578302 18V Brushless Circular Saw (160mm) in Systainer
Festool HKC 55 KEB-Basic cordless circular saw is built for fast, accurate cutting where mobility matters most – ideal for carpentry and general site work. The 578302 combines 18V performance with a brushless EC-TEC motor to keep cuts smooth and consistent across day-to-day tasks.
Designed to work on rails for controlled, repeatable results, the HKC 55 K supports quick cross-cuts with the FSK cross-cutting guide rail and precise straight cuts with Festool FS guide rails. Safety-focused features such as KickbackStop and an integrated guide wedge help you work with added confidence.
