Festool banners/signs

[erock]

Hello,
  I was wondering if anyone knew of any Festool sings or banners available.  I would like to hang a couple in my shop to give it some charm ;D
Thanks for any help.

Eric,

We don't sell banners or signs. You may be able to ask your Festool dealer if they may have some old signage that they're willing to "donate" to you. I took several of our stock photographs and had them printed at 16" x 20" and framed them in my home office. Yes, I'm a die hard Festool guy.

Thanks Shane,  funny thing is I was thinking about printing some pics of some web sites and I was going to see if my buddy could blow them up and print them for me.  He owns a print shop.  And making some picture frames would give me a reason to use my festools!

If you feel that way, get a Festool mat if they are still available for purchase.  I have one at the entrance of my garage/shop from the house, and is perfect for wiping off the shoes of sawdust transitioning from each room.  They look snazzy and vacuum nicely as well.  Wish I had a second one.  Think they are about $40.  Ask your dealer if he can order one.

Cool thanks Kevin!  I will have to send Bob a message to see if he could get one for me.  It seems like some of the local dealers in my area don't know how to turn on some Festool tools ??? so I'm not going to bother them for any help with my search for signs or banners.

I have some Festool banners. I might sell them. One is I think 72" x 24-32" and another is smaller maybe 18" x 36". I wouldn't let the bigger one go for less than 125.00 though.   I'll dig them out if you are interested and post a picture.

Hi Dovetail,  I would like to know how much you would sell the 18"x36" and see a pic of it.  Not sure the logical half would be happy if I spent $125 on a banner [sad].
Thanks,
Eric

I like the banners too around the shop. Can't really find any, even on Ebay. So I download the TIF and printed them on my "E-size sheet plotter. I have also printed out several others, (Delta-PorterCable, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Lie-Neilsen, DeWalt, Bessey, Kreg,). I did get a couple of the Powermatic metal signs they were given away a while back with certain purchases. With the plotter, I can get up to about 36"x48" or so.

You might be able to get a local printer to print one out for you, but they might have copyright issues with printing it for you unless you can get permission from someone here.

Well the big one is a bit sentimental, you can probably get the same quality made for maybe 75.00+. Depending on a few options etc.

Let me pull out the little one and check its condition etc, the big one is new in the box, the little one I can not even remember where I got it. I'll try to get a picture by Monday for you.

If I remember correctly it is the Festool blue with Festool word in green and maybe a pic of a tool. The large one is the White with Festool green lettering. The small one is actually a real Festool banner from possibly a store display and maybe 8 years old or so. The larger one is not a Festool endorsed banner that I know of for sure, but the font looks correct, etc.

Shane- you guys ought to come up with some stickers that can be put on vans, etc. Something to promote the brand, while allowing the contractors to show that they use only quality equipment. Kinda like the York, Trane, etc?, stickers on HVAC service vans.

Bob, I have seen Festool decals on ebay.  I think it's a package of 4.  Just to a search on ebay, you should find them.

just checked ebay, someone is selling a 4 pack of 12" festool vinyl car window decals for $18.99 with free shipping. 
do a search of festool and sort by lowest+shipping. [big grin]

And let the thieves know that you have the best tools to take?  No way.

Even with an alarm connected to all the doors on my utility shell, I wouldn't want the thieves knowing where the expensive tools are located. My old truck was picked clean in 2000, I think I'll pass on putting stickers on my new one.

Please be advised that these decals on ebay are reproductions.  They are made to order in a variety of colors!  If you look further on ebay you can also find counterfeit t-shirts and watches.

Festool is protective of their copyrighted, trademarked, and patented material - as well they should be.  Although imitation is flattering to a point - in these instances it is still illegal.  I personally would urge you not to support companies that steal and benefit from theft.

Like Peter said, we have not given those sellers on eBay our permission to use our trademark. So, please don't buy from these sellers and I would appreciate an email if you see them so we can have them removed from eBay.

As for decals, that's already in the works. There's a good chance that we'll be including a Festool decal in all tool systainers, at least for a limited time starting soon. They will be on a clear backing so you can stick them to a window.

Shane,

I not sure the level of demand for the banners, but clearly there are a few that would like one (or two). Most likely not enough demand to make it worthwhile to turn it into a direct saleable item.

I would be amazed if Festool actually manufactured thier own banners. They most likely buy them from a Banner making company. If they are printed in Germany and sent out, they would cost more obviously, but if they are printed in here in the US for handing out to Festool dealers and for trade shows, it would be a simple matter of providing a link to the banner printer company and allow them to sale the banners directly to those of us that are willing to burn money on them.

Just my $02.

Thanks, Rob

Just to let you know, I have sent links to Shane about watches, tshirts, and decals from ebay.  I only mention this so that he doesn't get buried in duplicate messages / emails.

I've seen your remodeling work. You may want to consider going full time with the sticker business.  [scratch chin] [poke]
