I work for a commercial millwork and carpentry contractor. I started working for them about five months ago. Even though they have a few Festool items already I really spiked their interest over the past month. It all started when I saw an ETS 125 in the shop and I told them I have quite a few Festools myself. I told them about what I have and they asked to borrow the TS 55. They were very impressed and commented that it is like having a portable panel saw. Now that I know they have an interest in a TS55, I told them about one here on the forum for sale. At that time he said we needed more cash flow to buy more tools. In the meantime further discussions ensued about the Festool line. Then yesterday he popped the big question, "is the Fes Saw still for sale?" I found out that it wasn't and offered to sell him my TS 55, which he bought. I also have a TS 75. Then he said I would like to buy a domino! I told him to wait two days so he could get 10% off. He said he needed one now so I offered to loan him mine until he could take advantage of the sale. Before I let anyone use it, I gave a domino 101 demonstration and then he said we are going shopping and spend the big money. After the smoke cleared and upwards of $5K our company now has coming over the next few days a DF 500 with the Domino Systainer, Kapex and MFT3/Kapex, ETS 125 and not one but two CT 48's with long life filter bags!!!!!
Another who just fell hard down the infamous menacing slippery green slope!
