How much to toss them across the falls or send them over in a barrel?

$25 - was that Pony Express?

Tell ya what!! 

I'll take a set down to the Post Office later today in an envelope and find out what they really cost to ship within the US.

I'll post a shipping cost for just the Robertson bits later today for US Customers

If you want some PM and I'll send you a Paypal invoice.

Call it the FOG Special!!!!!!

I can tell ya right now we will run out of stock so just be patient till the world gets caught up on square drive Robertson bits for the Centrotec

It is the only item we sell internationall which fits in an envelope.

Okay, shipping is $15US including insurance.

That way the price is the same for Canadians and our US customers.

$35 gets you 6 high quality Robertson bits delivered to your door.

You can send Paypal to dan@ultimatetools.ca

Make sure we have your address in the request and we have to limit this to 2 packages per order cause we are very limited on inventory. Matter of fact, we are pretty much sold out.

Cheers
Dan

Just an update letting everyone know that we do have some stock left with more sets expecting to arrive later on in the week as well (probably Thursday)

Dan Clermont

can some one post a picture of what they have bought.

Peter, I have been asking for a while, and finally the opportunity came up and the quality was there for us to do this and we are proud to have Dan taking charge of the west.  Keep in mind as Canadians we are doing this for all Festool drill owners, kreg jig owners, Canadians and other really really square people....

Just about...  They're listed as being 4" in length overall, so the Festool bits are just "a silly millimeter longer."   

Hey Kevin

You better call him first. I think we are all struggling with the demand right now.

Buy an extra 20 sets from him and ship them out to me 

Dan

I was hoping for a better photos, thanks

Thanks, a lot better then the one on Atlas site.  

been using mine all week, so happy with them! good quality bits an they fit precisely with the centrotec system. If you use Robbie's a lot you'll want these!

Will it be possible to purchase only one size of the bits, or mix and match to get the six? I use mostly screws requiring a #2 tip, so several of those would be nice, while #1 & #3 are seldom used.

Just placed my order and saved .20 because of the exchange rate, woo hoo.

For the record, bits were ordered Tuesday afternoon and were received today, Saturday, in San Diego via airmail.

So, no big delays, if any, due to customs etc.

Hi Dan, Been away from this thread for awhile (thought it was dead) These bits are great news. I was just on your website though and shipping to Van Is is $20. Was there a deal last week that is now gone? 20 bucks is kind of pricey for shipping. I guess I'll wait until after the rush and get them the next time I am over on the ferry.

Order in.  Thanks for doing this.

Hmmmmm....

As of now I think we are going to do a new kit, however it is a month or so away, I will not give full details on the kit but it will be an interesting complimentary pack to the existing bits and also be R2 heavy.  Although the original starter kit will still be a better deal than any other kits we will have....   Buy them now while they are at this introductory price.

Although for most applications I recognize that R2 is the most common driver bit, for cabinetry and fine finish work a lot of our customers use R1.  I have even be asked when we are going to do an R0.  Maybe in the USA there is a larger presence of R2 vs any other Robertson..... would this be true? I know the Kreg jigs use R2 and the beefy new jigs now use R3.

I would be curious to see the demand for R2 only on here (although it may be some time away), also any info on the supply of R2 vs R1 and R3 screws in the USA.  Love it that Robertson is spreading across the globe!

So, What type of demand is there for R2 only kits... those who would like them please say so and your application? Kreg? Cabinetry? Construction? General?

Thanks and looking forward to the responses.

Shawn, I bought 2 kits when in Toronto last week. I would definitely go for a 5 pack of R2's - Only a hobby guy but it seems R2 = 60% and about 20% each for the R1's and R3's

Do they have the Festool O'Ring?

I don't understand why the o-ring is so important?  It seems like a waste and adds to the cost.

That's what I was inquiring about.

Correct, Ron.  So, maybe I am being ridiculously picky, but why the black o-rings on the Robertson Centrotec bits?  I just see it as an unnecessary addition and cost.  If I'm wrong, tell me.

I like that idea, a lot!!

Cheers,
Steve

Just so everyone knows... You can obviously buy these bits online from myself, Dan or sean... They are also available at tegs tools in Hamilton Ontario and Pierre Berger in Montreal for those who are customers of those two dealers or prefer to shop locally.
 
So the following retailers are now stocking the bits:

Sean in new York (festoolproducts.com/the tool nut)
Dan in Vancouver bc (ultimate tool supply)
Myself in the greater Toronto area (atlas machinery)
Gabe at tegs tools in Hamilton Ontario
