Title says it all, really. Got the new 'corporate' look of all the other sites, and info on the new products.

Just found a couple of bugs in the site and e-mailed them - then spotted the New Website Intro page. They're asking for people to report bugs, and if you're the first to contact them about a particular issue then you win a Festool swiss-army knife!

Suffice it to say that I've now found even more, and sent multiple e-mails. I'd better win one... [tongue]

Okay Jonny, when you win one of the knives I want to see a full review. And maybe your review will win the Rotex.

Yay!  [big grin]

just got an e-mail:

Thank you for your email regarding the errors with the PDF links on the press pages on the new website.

We have now sorted out the problem and have added new links.

You can be expecting a Festool Swiss Army knife to arrive in the post, in return for your observations.

Yay! Too, here with a similar e-mail  ;D Well done Johnny [thumbs up]
Most of the errors I found were to do with non active PDF links, hardly surprising as there are lots of them!
Some linked to German language PDF's, not a huge problem for me but may be inconvenient for others.

Regards Rob.
 
Nice one, Rob.

I also sent 3 other e-mails, detailing other, non-PDF-related issues. So may end up with a couple more yet.  [big grin]
 
My insomnia has finally paid off [laughing] [laughing] [laughing] ;D

Haha, mine too...maybe we should start a 'Festool Army Knife Club' or FAKC. Good think it's not a Utility knife they send, huh...?

Cheers,
Rick
 
I just got the same email  [big grin] [big grin] [big grin]

I must admit I didnt even go to the Festool site intending to search for mistakes it just so happens I spotted in the news section the pdf for Steve Maskery visiting the Festool factory, who is a member of the www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums which I belong to. I thought that looks interesting I will take a look and the pdf link didnt work, I emailed Festool to say about it and didnt even mention the Swiss army knife and low and behold I get an email today to say whats your address so we can send you a Festool knife  [big grin]
 
Well, if I'd known everyone was getting one...

Damn, there isn't a 'spitting dummy out of pram' smiley.

Any one else get a nice package today? [wink]

A very pleased Rob.  ;D ;D
 
Indeed I did!
[thumbs up]

I have to say though, it's huge! [eek] I was expecting one of the smaller ones like you normally get as a freebie. Here's mine, next to one of the ones I used to give away at my old employer:

[attachthumb=#]

Ma-hoo-sive! Can't really use that as a key-ring - you'd definitely be arrested for carrying a blade that size here in the UK! [scared]
 
I got a couple of Bosch ones through the post a few years ago and they were tiny I thought these would be the same but their not  [eek] [big grin]
 
Well guys we are talking Festool quality merchandise! [big grin]

At just over 3.5" closed it is certainly a 'pocket  knife' and the range of tools on it will no doubt come in very useful.
In fact it is the very first knife or multi-tool I have that has a cork screw... now I wonder when I will use that [scratch chin]  ;D

Just in case Festool UK happen by.......... [thanks] [thanks] [thumbs up]

Rob.

Edit:- alt+0189 failed to show as 1/2" so changed to .5"  [doh]
 
Just thought I'd post a pic showing all the gadgets on this knife (for information only - I'm not trying to make our NA friends jealous [wink] )

[attachthumb=#]

It includes:

Large blade
Bottle opener
Can opener
Large flat-blade screwdriver
Wire stripper
Corkscrew
Scissors
Multi-purpose hook
Key ring
Tweezers
Toothpick
Ballpoint pen
Pin
Mini-screwdriver

[eek]
 
Sweet

and the rough bit on the edge of the hook acts as a nail file! ;D

Yes, I forgot to mention that! Also after I took that picture, I then found the pin in the plastic side under where the corkscrew goes...
