Festool KC 13-1/2-K-FFP FastFix Keyless Chuck 1.5-13mm
At a Glance: Impact-resistant 1.5-13 mm keyless drill chuck with Festool FastFix connection, carbide clamping chamfers, locking mechanism and a freely rotating protective ring.
Expand the versatility of a compatible Festool drill or cordless drill with the Festool KC 13-1/2-K-FFP Keyless Chuck. Designed around the Festool FastFix interface, this professional drill chuck can be fitted to or removed from the machine quickly and without additional tools. Its generous 1.5-13 mm clamping range allows conventional round-shank drill bits and a wide variety of suitable drilling and screwdriving accessories to be securely mounted, making it an extremely useful attachment for everyday workshop, installation and construction work. The chuck combines fast hand tightening with durable carbide clamping chamfers for excellent holding force and reduced wear. An integrated locking device helps prevent accidental loosening of the fitted accessory, while the impact-resistant construction makes the chuck suitable for use with masonry drills on compatible percussion drilling machines. A freely rotating protective ring helps reduce the possibility of marking the workpiece if the chuck comes into contact with the surrounding surface. Tough, practical and fast to change, the KC 13-1/2-K-FFP is an ideal FastFix accessory for users who need the flexibility of a conventional 13 mm keyless drill chuck on their Festool machine.
The KC 13-1/2-K-FFP combines the familiar versatility of a conventional 13 mm keyless drill chuck with Festool's FastFix quick-change system. The complete chuck can be installed on a compatible machine without tools, while drill bits and accessories can be clamped and released by hand. This makes it easy to move between different drilling attachments or return to a standard drill chuck as the job changes.

What is FastFix?
Festool FastFix is a quick-change interface that allows compatible attachments to be fitted directly onto the machine without conventional threaded installation or additional mounting tools. This enables the user to change the machine configuration quickly as different drilling and screwdriving applications are encountered.
Why use a conventional keyless chuck?
CENTROTEC is exceptionally compact and efficient for compatible CENTROTEC accessories, but many drill bits and specialist tools use conventional round shanks. The KC 13-1/2-K-FFP provides the flexibility to use these accessories while retaining the convenience of the Festool FastFix attachment system.
Why carbide clamping chamfers?
The surfaces that grip a drill bit are subject to considerable pressure and repeated wear. Festool uses carbide on the clamping chamfers to provide a durable gripping interface with high holding force and reduced wear during repeated accessory changes.
Workpiece-friendly protective ring
The front protective ring is able to rotate freely. If the outside of the chuck accidentally contacts the surrounding workpiece during close drilling operations, this rotating action can help minimise rubbing and marking compared with a fixed rotating chuck surface.
Designed for percussion drilling
The impact-resistant construction means the KC 13-1/2-K-FFP can also be used with suitable masonry drill bits when fitted to a compatible Festool percussion drilling machine. Always select the correct drill bit, operating mode and machine settings for the material being drilled.
Pro Tips
- Insert the drill bit deeply enough into the chuck for all three jaws to grip the shank securely, while avoiding clamping directly onto cutting flutes where possible.
- Before drilling, tighten the keyless chuck firmly by hand and confirm that the accessory is centred correctly.
- For maximum gripping reliability, keep drill-bit shanks and the inside of the chuck clean and free from oil, grease and heavy contamination.
- Use the smallest practical drill length for demanding drilling applications to reduce unnecessary leverage on the chuck and machine spindle.
- When changing FastFix attachments, ensure the machine is switched off and the attachment is fully engaged before restarting.
- Periodically inspect drill bits for bent shanks, excessive wear or damage, as these can affect concentric running and chuck performance.
How to Use
- Switch off the Festool machine and ensure it has completely stopped before changing attachments.
- Confirm that the machine is equipped with compatible FastFix tool reception.
- Install the KC 13-1/2-K-FFP onto the FastFix interface and ensure that it is correctly engaged and securely locked.
- Rotate the chuck sleeve by hand to open the jaws sufficiently for the selected drill bit or accessory.
- Insert the accessory centrally between the three chuck jaws.
- Rotate the chuck firmly by hand to close the jaws and securely clamp the accessory.
- Check that the drill bit is centred, firmly held and cannot be pulled from the chuck before operating the machine.
- Select the appropriate machine speed, drilling mode and torque setting for the accessory and material.
- After use, allow the accessory to stop completely before loosening the chuck and removing it.
- Keep the chuck clean and store it in a dry location when it is not installed on the machine.
