There's no RTA in Victoria mate! Funny you should say that though - we moved house around a year ago, and my spare car lay dormant for a year until I needed it recently..
Where are you hiding? What's going on here?!
(And where's my Vecturo?)

Well, so long as you just take the Vecturo and don't notice anything that's in the garage- I'll probably have to take that as a win!

Stuff it! [mad] [sad] [crying]
I've been holding back all this time, waiting to see if by some incredible chance I'd win one. Now I'll just have to go and buy one on the rotten things ...
Haven't seen Nick at any of the gatherings ... I get the impression his wife wears the Festool apron! [wink]

[size=13pt]The astute may have noticed that the C15 Kit now has 5.2 amp batts.
See - http://www.festool.com.au/epages/tooltechnic.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/tooltechnic/Products/564603/SubProducts/564552
Does this mean that these batteries are available individually?
Can only find 4.2Ah here -

I see Shane is selling 18V 4.2ah for US$40.00. If only! [smile]

My better half it pushing me to go and buy a bunch of 36V Stihl gardening gear as I type this .. she wants the pole pruner, blower, hedger and is contemplating the mower. I'll probably draw the line at the mower, but if I instead add an electric chain saw and brush cutter (the chain saw on the pole pruner isn't that big) I can refresh a load of gear that's old (not really), in need of service (not really), boring and noisy (yah, got it).
But !!! I suppose I am curious about the mower. It you stay on top of the garden and keep it "manicured" it's probably a good choice.
To be clear, this is for a suburban lot - I have no delusion about what's needed for a real plot of dirt!! [wink]
Hi all, long time lurker here! Since the price fixing business came in I've refused to buy any new gear at full price. Hence its been a dry few months. Just wondering if anyone has heard any whispers of upcoming promos? I thought the last was a little underwhelming so had my fingers crossed for another starting this month. This is looking more and more unlikely... Thanks

Welcome Scottan.
Where are you living in area - Nth, Sth, East, West?
Looking fwd to seeing some of your projects here.

Yes certainly there appears to be no new promotions yet for Aug, Sept, October. Up until the price fixing we got new product soon after UK, and certainly well before NA.
Just as well they distribute very good tools, because the customer service cracks are now starting to appear. Read recent posts on this thread re - fixed pricing and apparently some tightening of dealer margins through direct internet sales, lack of/delayed promotions (but to be fair there have been more competitions), no true specials (apart from the Kapex going down in price, but not to previous discounting price, at introduction of price fixing), delayed release of new product and repair delays.

There will be a new Catalogue released shortly ( I was given one today from my rep ) which will run till the end of October.
Looking over it there a Bonus batteries with Cordless tools (4.2Ah )
There are also Bonus Limited Edition 90 year systainers in Blue with select tools ( Actually a lot of corded tools )
Pricing seems to retail as expected
There is also the new Cordless Circular Saw. HKC 55 and C18
I have a demo of of the HKC 55 for the next few days, ( helping the local rep at a Tool show this weekend so i get to play early ) and after a quick play with it today I'm very impressed. It really takes the Circular saw to a new level.
I believe we it will be available in September along with the C18

Greetings Scottan,
I Was just thinking the other day that since the price fixing has come in I don't think I've made any Festool purchases other than a few consumables.
This hasn't been a conscious decision of mine as there will always be a wish list but there just isn't any urgency at the moment.
Maybe a good promotion might make me more proactive with the spending.
I'm guessing since there hasn't been any promotions for a while, that price fixing hasn't really effected Festool sales.
