I feel like a priest trying to convert the heathen! (Pardon the crude metaphor)
The carpenters whom I work with, both those that work for me and on sites around me were very skeptical when I started bringing around the Green tools about six months ago
"what are those cheap plastics boxes?" "800.00$! For a skill saw what an idiot!"
"I don't need a track to cut a straight line!" Yeah u do actually!
This slowly has turned 180 degrees. The carpenters who work for me now wonder how we did what we do without our green tools. (Eg. Ten foot mitred corners on floor to ceiling rift sawn oak ply columns). Our organization, precision and cleanliness have all improved. I have to admit I'm getting good value ftom my investment so far. The true test will be to see how it stands up to six day weeks in the trenches. (So far so good, fingers crossed) But I'm rambling. Anyway.....
Its left some of our colleagues "green with envy"

, you will still be using most of those tools on the job site ten years from now. I bought several of my Festool tools more than ten years ago, they have been hauled all over the country (countries actually) since then, and those that I didn't sell to upgrade, are still in use.
