Festool Recon Topic (compiled)

[squall_line]

For those of you who do not get excited at 15 or 20% off on used equipment (55 cordless saw is only 10%) please note that about eight items into the que is a drywall cordless screw gun at 50% off. 

I am only telling you this because I picked one up last year at 50% off and do not need two of them.

Interesting... It appears to be the "old" version with the 5.2 Ah batteries instead of the current 3.1 Ah kit.

The new 3.1 Ah model and/or Basic in a Sys3 DWC 18-4500 have both been up off and on recently, but only at 15-20%.  For the tiny discount of those versions, retail was close enough to make the extra warranty probably worth the cost.  50%, even if it's an older version with 5.2 Ah batteries, is less than retail on the bare-tool version, even if it's heavier.

How does the queue work? Because it seems like they don’t actually post things in the order of the queue and also items pop up on recon that were never on the queue.

The queue usually works like a queue.

My theory on the non-queue-ness of the queue lately is that someone is keeping track behind the scenes of which items in the queue people are clicking on (they all re-direct to the first item in the queue) and they adjust the queue accordingly.

That's just a theory, though, I have nothing to back that up.

If the website was run out of the UK, the queue would likely never fail.  Those guys and gals really know how to queue.  [wink]

also items pop up on recon that were never on the queue.

Maybe I'll write some code to track that and see what SKUs start to trend.
