Got mine - CentroTec set 2011

[RONWEN]

I received my set just before the weekend.  I'm glad I ordered it -- before it came I wasn't sure it would be useful but I thought I would get it & forget about it until the new Festool sets were sold out then post it on e-bay & make a little $$.  Well, now that I have it I'll be using it often for sure.  It's a great set with very few items I won't have purpose for.  I am a little surprised (those Germans!) that it doesn't have ANY T-10 Torx bits included so I ordered some good Apex ones to add to the set.

There were also 3 or 4 "green o-rings" missing -- I have no clue what brand those bits are???  [unsure]  I'll have Shane send me some so I'll know they are Festools.

So Ron, you decided to keep the set but make a few bucks back by selling hot o-rings on E-bay, clever....... [tongue]

When it was pointed out that my set was also missing a few green o-rings, Shane offered to replace them.  I asked if the o-rings served any practical purpose.

The O-rings main purpose in life is BRANDING. Which is cool but?

Finally got mine yesterday after the "train derailment" delay.

Now...

HOW DO I GET THAT FARGIN' DRILL BIT CASE OPEN?

THe slider stops at a little nib and it won't let the top open.....

 

[Sean7a]

Fritter, simply break the nib off.  Needle nose plier....

 

[Ken Nagrod]

This has to be getting the most laughs ever from Festool's design group.

Ah... I was trying to mount the Festool rail on it and plunge the TS55 into it.... [tongue]

(Seriously, never seen that before and it didn't look like something meant to be torn off).

 

[GPowers]

I know what you mean, I too looked long and hard before I broke it off

 

[MrToolJunkie]

LOL...I actually pushed and managed to open the lid with it still in tact and then I read Shane's post about the little tab...pretty funny, actually...Festool Humor...

Yes, it is pretty humorous that some many people have been outwitted by a tiny piece of plastic. [tongue] [big grin] [big grin]

I'm late to the party here, but I received my set yesterday from "Uncle" Bob. I really like it!
Like others have said, it's nice to have everything  in one spot for installs, from drill bits to driver bits. Thank you Shane, and Festool.
