Festool Recon Topic (compiled)

There WERE lots of things in the queue today, but it's shrunk considerably, and in a short amount of time.  [eek]
 
Busy morning for sure! I tried to grab the ETS but it was gone in less than 25 seconds.

Cordless Drill T 18+3 HPC 4,0 I-Plus has been posted a while.

Drills, angle grinders, and Planex sanders are the momentum killers of Recon  [big grin]

Hey squall_line...did you get the file?
 
Anyone know when the Black Friday deals typically drop? Is it literally on Black Friday or usually before by a couple days?

My best guess would be any time after Wednesday next week, although it could start before then.

The only real difference between Black Friday and Regular Recon is that you don't have to wait for a queue for the Black Friday listings.

That said, while you may see a few gems, a lot of what you see for Black Friday will also be Planexes (Planices?), Corded Vecturos, and the like.

This thread has been pretty quiet since most of the watchers and posters are subscribed to the Slack channel, but I'm sure that [member=75283]4nthony[/member], [member=66216]GoingMyWay[/member] , [member=58842]guybo[/member]  and/or myself will do our best to post in here once Black Friday is live.
 
I appreciate the Recon posting updates that everyone makes.  I am happily stuck in the flip phone age so do not have access to notification by slack channel.  I would probably consider becoming a Mennonite if they would allow me to have a microwave and electric fan. 
 
No annual black friday sale on the recon site? If memory serves me right, in years past the sale started a day or so before thanksgiving?  When did last years start?

Based on this thread, last year didn't have a Black Friday sale.  They've used the Black Friday listing method during some of the three- and four-day US holiday weekends throughout 2021, though.

Looks like it started overnight or early morning on Thanksgiving Day in 2019.
 
The Recon site was pretty much non-existent last year until Thanksgiving.  It seemed they started posting items on Recon about this time last year, so maybe that was their Black Friday.

To my fellow Americans, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.  To everyone else, I will show my British roots and say "Have a Good Day". 
 
So weird, no Recon sale this Thanksgiving, not even on Cyber Monday. Maybe we will see something tomorrow?

Mother Festool does as she does...the term "floating your own boat" comes to mind.  [smile]

Tools have been added to the queue.  Cordless Drill T 18+3 HPC 4,0 I-Plus is currently up.

If today's queue is an indicator of what they had in stock, I can understand why they didn't post their Black Friday collection this year.

Probably. I'm still hoping I'll see a Vac Sys on Recon this year.
