Festool and Mercedes

[teocaf]

I don't know if it's been mentioned here before, but Mercedes Benz puts out a great ezine, eMercedesBenz, which is kind of like the online version of a glossy mag.  Apparently one of the editors or writers is very fond of Festool so there are quite a few recent reviews along with great pics.  There are some other hot topics they cover in the Lifestyle section, but I'll let y'all find those out for yourself...

Maybe that’s because the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz and Festool are only 20 minutes apart from each other (about 25km)?  [smile]
They are in the district of Baden-Württemberg.

Hm, first time I see the manual printed on the side of a tool.

Enjoyed reading the reviews this morning. Well put together and easily read.

Wasn't the guy who did it on here asking for opinions before? Or did I dream that.

You might be thinking of the industrial design ezine site, Core77 who did a series about visiting the Festool factory, among other things.  Their writer was definitely on here asking for feedback.

FWIW...The person that was on the FOG was Nicholas Noe, however on the Core 77 site he goes by Rain Noe.

I love the DiResta stuff done by Jimmy & the Diresta's Cut by Core77. I've actually started adopting his workstream by doing everything speeded up just caring a little less about the finer points on some things and letting them sort themselves out.

Nice find, thanks for sharing!

I'm getting the printed version in Germany, never had any tool reviews in it.

Kind regards,
