I'm all for the second one. Less holes means my bald head will stay warmer!  Thanks for doing this, Peter.  |

Thanks to everyone for their input - I REALLY wanted it. So far it is definitely going one way with the exception of Ken - he has always had a thing for velcro. I really hope that time zone different members will also want to also chime in.
Keep the comments coming! Pros and cons are welcome.

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.

You will be one of the first to be able to let us know how well they work in the summer. I suppose a fleece lined one would have been inappropriate.  Peter |

go with no 2. i looked at the pixs before reading the explination and didnt notice the lack of holes. the first 1 looks a bit clutered.
just think of it as going retro and back to the roots , going from the jetstreem pad to the older pad

Just to keep everyone up to date. I checked today with the vendor about anticipated delivery time. The change in the logo caused a delay and in that time several large orders popped ahead. It is currently anticipated that I should see the caps in my anxious hands the week of January 11.
This is not what I expected - but maybe I should have expected.
Thank goodness we beat the month long shut down of the plant due to a holiday!
I am really sorry guys.
Peter

WAIT! Doesn't the 2011 now make it a limited production collectors item??  If Peter signed them on the inside for authenticity, you could sell it on ebay (if you were willing to part with it), buy the new Domino and have $$ left over!  |
