Doesn't your local Woodcraft or other dealer stock them? I think I saw them at The Tool Nut.

The great Peter James will have me one by Wed at 500 due to the holiday of course. Not only are the guys at ToolNut/Festool Products the best Festool dealers, but the best vendors I deal with in general. Cool dudes too. We looked at some Stabilas on line, but they dont have a TS 75 on them, so they dont work as well, thanks Peter, i may consider having kids afterall, Eric

You're a good man Brian! Here's an excellent example of why I enjoy the community here! You received it for free and you're paying it forward! Wicked cool (New England jargon) of you! Bob |

Great story...
How did you get one from visiting a dealer in Germany? Did you have to buy a certain amount of stuff?

Out of interest, are there many others who are after one of these aside from Scott? According to numbers I could buy a few and mail them over.
Cheers,

I don't know if this matters to anyone, but the rule that was a limited edition here was made by Stabila. The model that is available in Europe evry day for considerably less appears to be made by ADGA.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

I bought several metric only folding rules made by Wiha. I believe it is a Swiss company. There is a website for sales in the US.
I don't recall the price I paid but it was quite reasonable.

I tried tracking down the Festool folding ruler about a month ago too. No luck... every dealer I spoke to said they were long gone. So I picked up the Wiha Metric/Inch folder. It's made out of a fiberglass composite and seems to be pretty rugged. The embossed measurements seem sharper than others I've used, making it easier to read. The one thing I preferred on the Festool (Stabila) version was that the metric and inch measurements were on the same side. This made converting from one to the other pretty easy. The Wiha has metric on one side and inch on the other (sides being front/back not left/right).

Yes, and it is not quite as solid seeming as the US Stabila version rule. It doesn't seem junkie though. Also it is only metric as opposed to the combo inch/metric US rule. Seth |

Well I hope it's still in stock. I just ordered a Festool folding rule from thefestoolstore.com $25 with free shipping. Got to love the free shipping. I check out Amazon for a metric folding rule made by Wiha. I thought about picking that up, but some how found myself on the festoolstore web site. Good thing because I have been trying to buy the Festool rule for a while. Just could never find it. But I also didn't look to hard. I am slowly moving towards measuring everything in millimeters, thanks to Festool! I even told someone at work to cut me a 2x4 at 406mm's. His responded "what the heck is that?" I said "16 inches man, get with it!" OOPS! I'm the only one at work that uses the metric system I guess.  Eric |
