The Festool production facility in Germany is experiencing extreme demand for the NEW cordless sander product range which has resulted in parts shortages from raw suppliers. Currently an exact time frame of availability to Australia is not known.

The estimated to ship date shown on these product pages is indicative only and cannot be guaranteed.

Globally all countries are effected and Festool apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

A recent search on Lea Valley produced the following message for both the Hybrid DTS and RTS version:

"The manufacturer has indicated they are out of stock and unable to supply at this time. We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience".

Having said that, the ETSC 125 appears to be the only one of the three that is in stock.

I purchased all three of mine in late December from Beaver Industrial Supply, in St. Louis, along with my LS 130.  They still have them in stock:

It appears the shortage is primarily outside the United States, at least at this point.

Beaver's website absolutely never reflects what they have in stock.
