Nothing less than the .45 for me Per.  They are great glasses, and the tape.. well, everyone should just get one right?

The tool/drill holder that was limited supply was.  It's still a great tool, but yes, China, not Germany.  Christian, remember it's $5 for the Chinese stuff and $25 for the German.  We in the U.S. have our limits and standards.

I purchased a 25' "Big Johnson" tape measure, made in England, for a lot less than $25.00.  Festool should be ashamed to have their name on a "made in China" product!

I think that the Festool tape measure...

...is a "re-badged" version of the BMI 405 Viso Tape...

BMI is a German firm, and the BMI 405 Viso tape is made in Germany. It is therefore extremely likely that the Festool tape is also made at the same factory in Germany.

This is the smoke, obviously.
