Enter to win a Rotex RO 90 DX or Workcenter WCR 1000!

I hoped my reply would be enjoyed with some humor.  I embrace the contributions from our foreign members and have said so numerous times.  I too personally hope that one day all can be eligible for contests - but there are obstacles far beyond even my need or right to know that must be in place.

I hope all members consider themselves winners with the wealth of information here. I know that might sound a little cheesy, but I really think that's the case. It's the symbiotic relationship amongst members/moderators/Festool that makes this forum great.

However, the reality is that it's not as easy for us to conduct contests across continents. And, Festool offers giveaways, contests, promotions, campaigns, special limited time products, special programs like the tool replacement program for stolen tools and Tool Points in Europe, that vary greatly from region to region. It's not that we don't appreciate the contributions of our international members, it's just difficult to administer and award prizes outside of the U.S./Canada.

Even so, we may have additional international contests in the future and I'll make every effort to guarantee that we will have at least one winner from abroad when we do. How's that?

The Festool Owners Group is a premier destination on the web for people who are seeking information about Festool products.  One of the best sources of information is reviews that are written by our members.  This educates others about the products and offers an unbiased, first-hand account of the tool or accessory.  Based on the success of our last review-based contest, we're doing it again! Members can submit a product review in their own words about a Festool tool or accessory that they currently own for a chance to win.  I would say that the majority of forum members have, at some time, benefited from the sharing of knowledge here on the forum.  This is your opportunity to share with others and have the potential of being rewarded for your endeavors.
Unless you live outside of the united states of America

Rotex RO 90 DX

Shane im sorry to have to give you grief over this and I can see it would be less than straight forward to send a ro90 to europe as the American model would be UL and not CE

There could also be other issues stoping you including people outside of the states that I have no idea about.

but by limiting the entries to the states you also limit the amount of the material and I have seen some good stuff from this side of the pond.

And just as a aside we dont get anything festoolwise here in the UK no toolpoints or tool replacement program nada..

Shane I will look forward to a international contest in the future and thank you for all your hard work

 
Oh and another thing................... it is the worldwide membership and interaction of the Fog that makes it what it is..

Am I ranting ??  [big grin] [big grin] [big grin]
 
How come I just saw this thread today for the first time?

I'll need to see if I can throw together another review by the 17th...

No promises yet :-)

???
 
Two weeks remain for your chance to enter our giveaway. Hurry and post those reviews!  [big grin]
 
i think you should offer a prize for the most unusual entry [smile]. something small just for the laugh
 
I would like to thank all of you who have participated to this point in time.  Great stuff!  There is time left.

Peter

I'd be all over it if it weren't for this requirement:

"Reviews must consist of two or more photos of the product in use and a minimum of 400 written words or a minimum of sixty seconds (60s) of video. "

Using power tools when it's 10 degrees F or lower in the shop isn't a good time.

+1

Good luck to everyone who has submitted a review. There's still time to do a review for your chance to win!

Hi Shane -- thanks for posting the update.  I did a review on the T15 drill and I think Paul did a video review of the MFK700.

Scot
 
Scot, sorry for the mistake. It's been corrected. If not, or if anyone else see a mistake or something left off the list, please PM me. Thanks!
 
Question...in the rules you say that you can do a written review OR a video review. I just want to confirm...you cannot do both written and video for the same tool/accessory and get entered into both contests? Just want to be clear.
