They actually did develop the tool and the switch - they aren't fake. Who knows if the switch will actually come to production.

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.

If you click on the "more information" link it explains that. The tools do exist & actually have to perform as described. http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=69303&cat=I guess the point on this one is that a purist hand tool user wouldn't want the annoying noise of a vac running near by. |

Aye, but even a purist falls off the wagon occasionally Tim |

Nice , thought it was a gag but I could see it being a product. It would not be the the strangest thing I have seen wood workers want. Oddly the magnetic switch thing I would like for other than wood working things.

Search for AFD products at Lee Valley. ( April Fools Day) Last year's:  This one backfired on them. They have it as a permanent product:       |

I think some of those would be great conversation pieces. Regardless weather they worked.
