Crazyraceguy said:I was just talking about this last Friday, with my helper/apprentice. If they had put that 100 logo on the actual machine, rather than just the Systainer, I would sell mine to him and get the new one. Since it is just the box......I'm out.
If/when they ever release that Systainer alone, I will definitely pick one up. There was a time when I avoided the special edition blue ones, because they didn't match the rest. I've gotten past that with the addition of some others that don't either, Woodpeckers, TSO, Shaper. Since then, I do have a few Festool blue ones, but I would still want the tool be different.
My first Domino was a 90th anniversary, and all that was distinctive about them was a sticker on the T-loc latch. I get it, it was only 90, but 100? It needs something. It's only March, maybe there are other things to come?
The 90th logo didn't get applied to every tool back then, so who knows....
I agree. I'm quite disappointed with the lack of the 100th logo on the tool. And so far, I'm a bit underwhelmed with the 100th stuff in general. At their influencer event, they showed off a bunch of legacy tools and have released some short videos. Wish they would do some longer videos showing those old tools in action and talk about their history and their place in the Festool pantheon.
100 is a significant milestone and seems like they're not hyping it enough.
