One for the Aussies...

[Stephen B]

Wow! That was a long survey.

[size=12pt]Yes, pity you wasted so much time for no prize!  [big grin] [big grin] [smile]

Interesting how it was more about the dealer experience than anything else!

[size=14pt]To  others yet to do the survey -
Allow up to ten minutes, it is not as quick as suggested. You are able to leave it and come back latter, well I did through my Facebook link. Also you can opt in or out of the prize draw.

 

[benwheeler]

I think you've made a mistake - it was a very fruitful use of my time, in order to receive my prize [emoji16]

I've not looked at the survey yet, but it can't be any worse than the AEG survey that I filled in a couple of weeks back, that was an hour of my life I won't get back!

I've not looked at the survey yet, but it can't be any worse than the AEG survey that I filled in a couple of weeks back, that was an hour of my life I won't get back!

The survey was~ 5-10 minutes... It seemed long.

My feedback that the repairs were lacking in feedback, was confirmed yesterday when the Mrs said that Festool called to say that they delivered the tool to the shop I got it from rather than directly to my haus.
I am happy it is fixed though and look forward to using it again.

I did not think I would need the warranty, but it just did not work when trying to pick up liquid as it always shut itself off nearly immediately.

Which cordless Festool I get will be a challenge to decide if I win. I might need some help  [wink]

Filled out the Festool survey, what a breeze compared to the AEG survey a few weeks back.
I'd like to win a C18 but it still hasn't been released yet!

I couldn't see anything regarding the 90 Years celebration on the Aus Festool website. Does anyone know if this will be rolled out down here.

 

[Kev]

90 years ... only thing I've seen in terms of Oz is the bit on the new pamphlet.

I haven't purchased anything Festool for almost 3 months ... lack of spare time lately has had me bordering on some rash decisions! [eek]

Don't think I'll be rushing out to grab a TXS either.

I do want to try one of the brushless motor ETS sanders ... annoying that they didn't do anything clever with a variable orbit. Had they made it variable I wouldn't have hesitated. Swapping out 150/3 & 150/5 for brushless equivalents isn't cheap.

I stepped away from getting the Vecturo, but I can see myself stepping back shortly.

 

[benwheeler]

Just registered for the July training session.  Anyone else?

 

[DB10]

Haven't seen anything about it, Is it being held in Melbourne?

 

[benwheeler]

Yes, at Festool in Dandy. I got an email about it.. Perhaps due to attending the product demos? Perhaps due to blowing all of my cash on their goodies this year?

 

[Bohdan]

[member=40271]benwheeler[/member]

See you there.

 

[Mr_Mod]

We blow all our spare cash on their products and now they wish for us to spend $250 to do the training.

Tea and biscuits are very expensive ... [smile]

Well I didn't get an invitation.

Do you think it might be due to my recent critical comments both here and on their Facebook page?  [big grin] [big grin] [smile]

Is this workshop at Festoo HQ or The Tool House and what is it offering? There is no obvious link on Facebook or Web page that I could see.

[member=40271]benwheeler[/member]  [member=36526]Bohdan[/member]

 

[DB10]

Nah, I didn't get one either and I'm on their mailing list too, probably just down to a lack of co ordination

 

[benwheeler]

[member=36526]Bohdan[/member] great!

You didn't hear it from me, but you could always try Googling "Festool training Melbourne" and see what pops up  [eek]

 

[Stephen B]

[size=13pt]Well guess what email arrived at 2.44am this morning? Could these emails be coming from Germany?

Looks to be a great two days, but regretfully I can not attend due to work commitments. I note that there is another one in NSW in September.

Are you sure tea and biscuits are in the 'scope of delivery'.  [wink]
If the training is high standard and I learnt some new skills I'd go along with the fee.  If not, I'd be a 'ticked' off.

Festool Australia have announced a June Competition with a Vecturo as the prize.

Research a few facts about this tool at -

- then enter the competition using the Facebook Link -

Edit: there appears to be a problem with the entry form. It asks for statement at a maximum of 50 words. When I entered 37 words, a warning appeared inferring I had exceed 50 Characters!  [eek] I have left a comment on their Facebook page.

See if you have this problem fellow Ausies and please report here your experience.

This morning [AEST] I successfully entered the competition following the links from the Festool Australia web page, rather than the Facebook link.  [smile]
