Hello all.

To start off, I've purchased a Festool T12 plus, a Centrotec Set 2010 and a few systainers to hold some other tools. My Missis and me are living in Finland and bought a wooden (log) house and will go through a full renovation. It is estimated to be build somewhere between the 1890's and 1910. Though myself being involved full-time on a daily basis throughout the renovation project starting from the 1st of April, we are getting professional help to get things done more efficiently. (I am a handy perfectionist but definitely no pro) I have been introduced with Festool during my studies back at the art academy were I studied sculpture. There we had a bunch of Festools and I loved them, if needing a power tool, then better have one that actually does the job properly and one that lasts. Now I do question myself why instead of the T12 I didn't buy the extra torque but it'll have to do. As there will be a lot of work to be done besides the renovation itself, like wishes for building a (new) outdoor building which will function as an artist studio, we like to build an outdoor sauna etc. I'm already lurking for a presicio cs and other goodies that, likely, once will come along when needed. Throughout the years I have collected many (decent) handtools that I use frequently but besides a makita cord drill (and now the T12) I don't have any power tools. Therefore I'm sure people here can give me some advice or guidance when I'll need info on much needed future Festools!

Regards, Mauri
 
Hi Mauri!!

[welcome] to the FOG!

A lot of people with lots of knowledge, and we all enjoy learning from each other's project.

Make sure you take plenty of photo's of the renovation, it sounds a real interesting project you have there!!
 
Yea, welcome dude.

Remember, no pictures & it never happened so we need pics  ;)  Sounds like a cool project & just the excuse for plenty of Festools.  If you need to get another cordless i can recomend the C15  [thumbs up]

Thanks for the warm welcome. Pictures will come, no worries. I have to say that I find it very, very difficult, even browsing FOG, to find compatible accessories for the Festool drill. I've ordered the Centrotec 2010 set as I think it holds a good range of extras after considering the '08 and '09 set as well. I have been searching for a Festool ratchet set and only stumbled upon the centrotec 497881 set but it holds screw bits which I don't need having the 2010 set and only holds the ratchet bits 4mm up to 13mm. I didn't find any info on individual bits whatsoever. Protools offers a little kit too which is centrotec too and thus a plus. Any tips or tricks? Any other brand which is centrotec compatible? If nothing really, I'd consider either a Wera or a Stahlwille set.

edit: I guess one could use the Festool Centrotec adapter 1/4" or 3/8" with whatever sockets!?
