One for the Aussies...

I'm voting with my feet today!
  First big tool purchase in a while and it's not going to be Festool...I've been asking Festool to make one of these for quite a while now but apparently according to the local Fes rep it's not do-able! Even though other manufacturers make them.
I'll give you a clue........It's going to be green,    Can you guess who makes it, and what it might be?

Pretty disappointing May/June promo catalogue from Festool Aus IMO...

Yes agree - I was hoping following the introduction of fixed pricing in Australia there would be some good promotions.  This would have been one way to appease price conscious buyers.
 
Sorry Ben, nope, it's actually a very handy tool and it's cordless!

Side note: The May June promo catalogue,
Jeeze can it get any better than this. $45 dollars for an apron "while stocks last" don't all rush at once now.
They were certainly scrapping the bottom of the barrel when they put this together.
 
Maybe it's a signal to those who were holding out for some good promotional pricing from time to time.. Just buy the damn tools, there ain't no discounts no more!
 
Hehe, the forum just changed d-a-m-n to d-a-r-n. Good old American squeamishness - violence is A-O-K, but don't swear in front of the children!

Word filters - love them or hate them.  They are here.  Sorry.    [tongue]

No problem - just haven't come across that before! I was about to ask if there's a list of unacceptably off-colour words for us potty-mouthed Aussies to study, but I suppose you wouldn't be able to see that in the forum anyway [emoji16]
 
Nothing against you Aussies or anyone else.  Just trying to keep it PG-13 or better.  A list is not available, and if it were I would hate to post it and encourage others to try to circumnavigate around it.

Only one month in from April 1, and we hear that The Tool House is offering a customer benefit not being offered or may be in fact not able to be offered by other dealers: that is; an extended Warrenty of 2 more years.

Surely this is not in the spirit of the level playing field promoted by the ACC decision.

Indeed it may even be in breach of that decision - page 26 Conditions, '  .  details of any changes made to standard dealer contracts'. In other words is Festool Australia providing additional access to its service and warranty sections that are not able to be accessed by other dealers, or is TH totally covering these additional costs?

If TH is covering these additional warranty costs, how is this different to a dealer who before April 1 also cut into their operating costs but by discounting?

[size=14pt]Festool Australia have replied to this letter as posted on their FaceBook page. If interested, see - https://www.facebook.com/festoolaustralia
 
Ah, thanks. I'm not sure what the best case scenario was from complaining to Festool. Perhaps he's a rival dealer [emoji16]

Anyway, good result from my point of view!
 
Hi Untidy, I couldn't see the reply on Face book, but then I'm not a member, do you need to be on Facebook to see replies?
I'm not trying to be the last person alive who is not on Facebook, I just don't need the distraction, hard enough getting a days work in as it is.

Took me a while to find it as I too am not a facebook junkie.

Thanks Ben for publishing the direct link.

It might be time for you to realise that 1+ 1 = is not always 'Tidy'.  [big grin]

Anyway time to move on, me thinks! I have taken this issue as far as I care to!

Thanks Ben.
I always seem to struggle to find anything on Facebook, on the rare occasions I do go on There, I find it very disorganised.
