The angle that the power cord goes into the TS55 doesn't allow enough reasonable room for a person to turn and connect it without some challenge. Seems like a significant design flaw. My only criticism of the tools thus far.

Use your left hand. It's the perfect angle for that.

Try beveling the saw to 45 then attaching or disconnecting the cord.  When someone showed me that I said to myself  Doh! Doh! Doh!.

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.
