It's back on Festool US.

It's back on Festool US.

They stuffed it into a SYS³ Systainer, raised the price to $699 and changed the P/N to 576258. I guess that's a good thing.  [smile]

Check out the price at Ohio Power Tool for the older 576612 model...$500.  [big grin]  That's a $200 savings and a nicer Systainer.

What is a good thing? The sys3? Meh. The price? Not really. The product number? Who cares?

It could have all been so nice if they didn't nix the heights.

I was referring to it being available again in the US. With all of the items Festool has been discontinuing or restricting in certain countries it was a pleasant surprise.

What's odd is, Bertotti posted above a pic of the HL 850 in a Sys3 and Bertotti is in the US. The Festool US site is just sometimes goofy.

The whole deal is odd. My mom and pop ordered me a fine head and a week later the curved one. Neither has shown up yet. This world is just getting stranger and stranger. I can't even get the US site to load right now, and yes mine did come in the new sys3 Just odd.
