MW 1000 US Availability?

[JPCleary]

I could’ve sworn I read a thread on FOG about the MW 1000 being available in the US in October, but I can’t seem to find it now...

Regardless, anyone have any reliable intel on when we might see this item hit US shores?

 

[GoingMyWay]

You may be thinking of this thread:http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tools-accessories/new-mobile-workshop-mw-1000, but that linked to the Festool UK site announcing the October release date.

I don't believe there is any information on if/when it's coming to the US.

 

[JPCleary]

Yeah, you’re probably right...I looked right past that link when I just went searching for it.

Dang it...I want that MW 1000!!

You may get lucky ordering it as the TANOS version through a US distributor

They do not ship Festool products to the USA since last year in compliance with Festool policy.

This is what I got back from Axminster...

“Hello Mr Cleary,

Unfortunately this will be something that we will not be able to assist you with. Regretfully, due to sales restrictions put in place by Festool, we are unable to ship their products to the USA or Canada. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

We would recommend emailing Festool directly on alex.newbury[member=6061]festool[/member].com who can assist you in finding a local supplier.

In the meantime, please don't forget we can ship most of our other products to the USA. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best Regards”

I forwarded it to Alex Newbury of Festool to see what his response would be...

“Hi John,

As per Axminster’s email we can’t export Festool goods outside of Europe. This is the same for all dealers here in the UK, therefore I can’t help you any further or recommend another supplier.

My apologies and thank you for your interest in Festool.

Kind regards

Alex”

There are dealers abroad who will gladly sell and ship to the good ole USA. Just have to call around.

Just don't name them here, or FT will go after them just like it went after Axminster.

DEFINITELY don’t name them here, but if someone knows of a dealer that will ship to the states, feel free to PM me...I’d really appreciate it!!

Keep an eye on Amazon in other countries. Plenty on there will ship to the US via Amazon Prime and you can get some good prices too.

 

[ProCarpenterRVA]

Any suggestions on how to get one, I'd like to hear. I tried Amazon.de and got a message that it was not available in the US. Anyone who has a connection, please send me a pm.

I ould guess this is a 2019 release in the US. Festool was demoing it at Connect this year.

I thought they said April 2019.
