FestoolRecon.com coming VERY soon (US)

OF 1010 EQ just went up.

Dang lasted less than 8 minutes.

 

[ScoFF]

The only Festool items I want is the MFS 700 template guide which I'll never see and the Duplex LD 130 EQ profile sander.
I'm tempted to order the MFS from that German eBay source but don't really want to.

Kapex KS120 now for those who are interested $1,106.25

 

[Goz]

And still available an hour later. Either there is a ton of inventory or not much demand.

Festool should change IT developers.  I got the email for the 1010 router, but did not get the email for the Kapex.  This has happened two or three times now.  Not sure because I have no way of knowing what I have missed.

Does not matter though, because I would buy new anyway.

[member=3192]rvieceli[/member] - Great minds think alike. I was sending [member=62601]Deane62[/member] a message a few minutes ago.

I want to give a big shout out to TylerC.  My recon PDC drill came missing a couple of items.  He looked into it for me and got them shipped to me ASAP.  Everyone at Festool that I dealt with on this couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful and it was much apprecitated.

You would have to be near crazy to buy it at any price given the track record for repairs discussed here.

Thanks, [member=62601]Deane62[/member]! Let me know if you ever need anything else.

Good luck on that...Uncle Bob and ToolNut closed out stock on all the various MFS rails back in June 2016. I'd be surprised to see anything like that resurface for this sale.

Unfortunately, I think Germany is your only resort for new stock.

 

[Trevin]

Even then it will still take some time.  I ordered a MFS 400 and MFS 700 and it took almost 2 months to arrive...

How was the shipping costs and possibly other import fees for the Germany order?

So now its:

Oct 2  Domino 500
Oct 2  C18 Li 5.2 drill

Oct 3  Carvex PSB 420 EBQ Jigsaw
Oct 3  PDC18 5.2Ah Drill

Oct 4  SysLite LED
Oct 4  Vecturn OS 400 EQ

Oct 5  Domino XL DF 700

Oct 6  RO 150 REQ

Oct 11 Of 1010
Oct 11 Kapex KS 120

 

[Cheese]

Interesting to note, that the DF 700 and the Kapex were both at the same price point, yet the DF sold out in 8 minutes while it took 3 1/2 hours for the Kapex to sell out. Maybe its reputation has caught up with it?

Buying a Kapex with a one year warranty is like giving a toddler a drivers license...  Definitely not a good idea!!!

 

[ScoFF]

I had problems with my kapex within warranty and the issue wasn't covered. But we negotiated.

I think with the number of people around here that continue to have issues with the 110v motor and Festools lack of any response in 18 months since they said they'd look into it ..............

Yes , it's necessary.

I would buy it at full price tomorrow if mine was out of warranty and broke down today. Best damn saw I ever had/used

Great point...forgot about the 1 year warranty.  [doh]  So the purchase of a Kapex really does become toxic during a recon sale. That alone could explain why there is such a dismal performance of the Kapex during this sale. Definitely not a good harbinger of good things to come, unless Festool decides to right the wrongs.
