Kev said:Reiska said:Just saw the prices for the new tools at my favorite Festool dealer and I can tell that I'm in no immediate need to even think of upgrading my ETS150/3 or Fein Multimaster to the Vecturo... Holy Smokes!
ETS 150/3 EQ-Plus retails @ 333€ vs.
ETS EC 150/3 EQ-Plus @ 571€
FEIN SuperCut Edition Wood FSC 2.0 Q in systainer retails @ 389€ vs.
Vecturo OS 400 EQ-Plus @ 473€ (Set with the plunge base 654€)
If I didn't have the Multimaster already the price difference to the Vecturo isn't that bad, but its not worth upgrading in my use - about once a year - but how the heck did the sander almost double in price over night!?!
Maybe they don't need abrasive sheets any more and just have a built in tractamorphic sanding face that can vary the grit size dynamically. [eek]
My dealer has the Vecturo for EUR 429, the set for 575 (565 for mailing subscribers [tongue]).
The price for the sander is kinda shocking though. I really wonder what advantage it holds over the ETS 150/3 besides brush less motor and associated advantages.
The drawers are EUR 44, which makes me wonder what they offer above the much cheaper "high-end" Ikea maximera drawers.
