Not an authoritative or extremely well produced video, but this was still really interesting:

Thanks for that...very interesting, although there are a few items I could dispute or complain about.

This seems like a marketing opportunity missed in modern times...

Meh, no good at all. Images not matching the storyline, lots of repetition. Waste of time.

I agree this could have been a 17 minute video rather than a 35 minute video.
Nits to pick:
1976 Festool releases the RO sander but what's shown is a Porter Cable model
1979 Festool releases the dual mode Rotex but what's shown is a modern Rotex 150 FEQ
1980 Festool releases the plunge saw but what's shown is a modern TS 55 on Banggood guide rails
1984 Festool releases the jig saw with blade guides but what's shown is a cordless Carvex which wasn't released until 2012
1984 Festool releases the dual mode Rotex RO 150 E but what's shown is the same sander shown in the 1979 release. What's the difference between the two and why mention the release twice if there's no difference in function?
Not huge issues but they do take away from some of the visual excitement in the story telling. Kind of like watching a 1952 "Victory at Sea" documentary using photos of the USS John McCain and USS Gerald Ford.

I'm curious. That original plunge saw in 1980 - was that the ATF 55 or is there a model before this one?I agree this could have been a 17 minute video rather than a 35 minute video.

And is the 1984 jigsaw the Trion?

Yeah this is the problem when AI is relied upon so much, although this video is definitely better than a lot of AI produced videos I've seen.I agree this could have been a 17 minute video rather than a 35 minute video.

It's be really good to see a complete version coming from Festool, there's enough rich history there to make for very interesting film.

So far as I'm aware the ATF55 was the first plunge saw, or it was certainly the first one released in Australia, and I still have mine that I bought in 1982 from memory.
It was an unbelievable game changer for me hanging doors. Big investment at the time but what a time and labour saver, and over 40 years later still running!
There is a similar video on Makita, interestingly, that company also got its start by repairing electric motors/equipment.
