Festool Recon Topic (compiled)

Let's see how long this lasts in the pole position... :) ...the last time it was 2 days before they reshuffled it to the rear of the pack.
Only lasted about 45 minutes 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've always been hesitant about buying batteries from Recon, considering the age of some tools.

Anyone successful with an Energy Set purchase?

I bought the Energy set SYS3 ENG 18V LTE 2021 back in January 2023 from the Recon site. The batteries were fine.

Good to know. I never thought I'd get into cordless tools (other than the original CXS) but then I got a couple CXS 18s and the batteries are compatible with other tools in the lineup.

Now when a cordless tool ends up on Recon, I'll stare at it a little bit longer than I used to. Hmmm....
 
Not an energy set but I did buy a TID 18 Set from Recon over the summer and the batteries are fine and were easy to update to the current firmware.

Cool. I've mentioned this elsewhere but after the first CXS I ordered from Recon was already 6 years old when I received it (both the drill and batteries were stamped 2015), I've been cautious buying cordless items.

The TID is next on my list...
