Domino's

[sroxberg]

Just wondering as I look at the systainer full of Domino's at the store. Will you open the bags and dump them in, or leave them in the plastic bags and just cut the top open?

I'm wondering because part of me says dump them and throw the bags away.

The other part of me says, leave them in the bags or put them in plastic zip locks so that they don't absorb any moisture or humidity.

What do the people who already have their Domino's do or does it make a difference.

Steve,

I leave them in the systainer and generally keep the systainer closed - no problems and I have had them since last summer.

I believe the systainer is designed in a way that it would protect against moisture in most environments.

Silica gel.

Woe Woe Woe, slow down race car... you mean to tell me that you have your hands on a domino since last year?! Where is that ignore button? Just kidding Bob, but I had no idea these things were available to dealers for such a long time. Good to know festool lets you guys get familiar with the products before they are available to the public.

Marco,

No, we generally get the new tools a month ahead, but for the Domino, I went through the "back-channels" of Europe on my own.

Thanks for the heads up on this!  I'm one of those with somewhat of a moisture environment issue.

Counting down to you know what!

As part of my evaluation I soaked them for over 15 hours in water and saw virtually no movement.

Not sure where I found this but it was a while back when I found out dominos where made from beech:

The beech is with a portion of about 20% of the total forest surface of Germany not only the native kind of hardwood most important with distance separates one of our most important using and industrial woods. The beech trains vollholzige and langschaeftige trunks with branch-free lengths up to 15m in the inventory conclusion straight. In adult of trees was open exhibits against it deeply set crowns. As a medium sized tree the beech reaches heights of 30 to 35m. The maximum age amounts to about 250 to 300 years.
. 
The beech supplies expressed and with a middle gross density of 0,72g/cm3 related to 12-15% wood moisture heavy, in the weight comparable wood to the oak with. It is tough from high hardness (HB value 3.9), but a little flexible. Besides beech wood possesses expressed good mechanical properties, which are appropriate for the oak still over those, as well as a very high abrasion resistance. It exhibits a moderately good durability after the drying process and "works" more strongly than other wood.

Thanks. I really appreciate your counting down to my receipt of my new Domino, but if you'd prefer I'll just let you know when it arrives.  Do you think anyone else ordered one?

;D
