After two years of hand wringing, pouring over specs, demo'ing tools, stressing on decisions.... as of this week, I have completed every Festool tool purchase I can even dream of using for the coming years, and well into retirement.
This has been part of the goal of setting up my "LifeLong Woodshop" plan. Specifically, buying tools and equipment of the highest caliber that I don't ever expect to feel I need to upgrade or replace with better. My journey with Festool began with a simple CXS Drill purchase 23 months ago, after which I was SOLD on the Green!
The picture below shows all my systainers minus the HL850, TS75, and LS32 Set coming today and later this week. Also not pictured is my new Kapex, because try as I might, I couldn't fit it in a systainer! [big grin]
The only things I will need to purchase from here out, and beyond what I own already, are accessories and consumbables.....AND of course any NEW Festool tools they may introduce in the coming years that might be of interest! [tongue] I still have to decide on either a metric or imperial accessory kit for my OF2200; that being the most expensive single final purchase to be made in the near term.
Of interest for purchase in the future would be a Sword Saw, 18V+ Impact Driver, and their Belt Sander if, and when they become available in the USA. I have a number of NAINA items included in the systainers below that were purchased while my wife was stationed in Germany.
I can now take a break from big $$ purchases of Festool, and concentrate of filling the remaining heavy equipment needs to complete my LifeLong Shop.
Whew! All from a little CXS! Newbies be warned! The Green Disease is insidious, and incurable! [scared]
Thank you Sean, Tom, Bob, Thomas (Germany), and to Amazon for a few quickies...all for your expert guidance and quick responses. And especially BOB for the incredible packing jobs his business does for shipments!! WOW!! [thumbs up]
Cheers,
Frank
