Has any Aussie Fogger received good news regarding the Survey Competition that concluded at the end of May?

 

[benwheeler]

I don't think they've contacted the winner yet - there's nothing in my inbox. I even checked the spam folder!

I feel my lot in life is to be statistical fodder for games of chance [sad]

 

[benwheeler]

I suppose that, statistically, that must be true for most of us!

[size=13pt]Do not give up Kev and Ben.

Through working for a Hardware Franchise Store/TY,  I have been told that competitions generate far more publicity than actual entries.

That can be true ... Depends a lot on the prize and the audience. Something like this would generate

While I'm in the Aussie area, I'd thought I'd ask - does anyone have any classic systainers, in good condition, they'd like to swap for t-locs? I've got mainly sys-2 & 3 to swap, looking for anything classic.

I have some, but I'm in Sydney. That'd be a costly up and down I'd guess!

I have heaps of sys1 & sys2 and a couple of sys 4 classics. Would be happy to send to you

I have a bunch of 1's, some 2's and 3's & a couple of 4's but I'm in Brisbane - same comment as Kev re freight.

We can now officially give up Kev and Ben.  [big grin]
He chose the obvious great prize, but I was holding out for a PDC 18. However, if the new HKC had been released here, it would have been that. Oh well, Vecturo anyone!?  [smile]

You'll probably be living your next life as a dolphin by then !

I've discovered a cunning plan that Total Tools has come up with for having an EOFYS under the new regime:
1) Announce a grand sale, complete with radio advertisements mentioning Festool
2) Put lots of SALE signs against Festool items on the website, but keep prices the same
2) Profit...?

I use Ideal Tools in Melbourne for all my festool purchases, always get back to you quickly on any inquirys and delivery is usually 2-3 days.

I ordered an MFT on Sunday night and had in my shop on tuesday morning.

Crabatec are only brand collectors supplying only parts of the range from any brand of tools, if you want something from the brand they have and not listed can take up to 6 months or more to get in so easier to order direct from that supplier.

My local - Northern Abrasives is great for phone and in store service, but their website is STILL a work in progress. [sad]

I called Northern Abrasives yesterday about sanding discs for my
Metabo sander - (been waiting on spare parts for my Rotex 90 for 2 weeks!).  As soon as I explained it was the 80mm size the response was 'that's for the SXE400'.  And they have stock... Good knowledgeable people at Northern Abrasives.

I bought a Virutex edge lipping planer from them last year, over the phone, and their service was fantastic. Arrived in Melbourne two days later.
