I couldn't see any mention of whether the bonus battery is a 5.2 or a 4.2v, just says plus 18v Bonus Battery!

[size=13pt]I assumed the most likely; still 4.2 stock to move.

Longtime lurker, first time poster.

I caved in and went into Sth Melbourne today.

I'm a builder, already having the RO 150, RAS 115, TS 55, I just saw way too many applications for the HKC not to have it, my pet hate is moving long lengths to a drop saw. I figure it will be excellent for cutting in decks, flooring, weatherboards, cutting rafters and any big miters the droppy cant get.

Was $1040 for the Saw + 420mm guide rail, charger, 2 x 5.2amp batteries and the bonus was a 4.2amp battery. I also picked up the dust bag. Pretty good deal I thought considering the saw skin was 550

They ordered 10 of these packs in from Festool, I got the 10th today, he said they wouldn't be getting these packs in for at least a month.

Looking forward to using it on the job, will let people know how it goes.

Enjoy the new saw.

I'm currently looking at overhauling my entire onsite setup atm, getting a new trailer built around fitting systainers and transfering all of my tools into T-loc systainers and sortainers. I've got too much wasted space from boxes etc.

Anyone know of the best place in Aus to purchase systainers, also is it possible to get Tanos systainers over here that aren't upwards of $250 a pop?

There's a Aussie FOG member than can import in bulk - I'll dig up his details for you. Gets all the cool Tanos range.

 

[Pykie]

Awesome thanks mate.

Was thinking of possibly buying direct from Germany posting to a UK parcel forwarder, anyone done this? I've done it for US stuff in the past, it's quite good. The language barrier though..

There's also an Italy based dealer that sells on Ebay and ships to Aus, anyone use him before? Been thinking of buying a 700 XL and his price is a good 700 cheaper than here.

I got mine from a place in QLD. http://www.cltoolcentre.com.au
With the exchange rate it wasn't bad and the shipping is free if you get enough.
I got a dolly for them as well...

Dont know if you noticed but the 90th aniversary Sys 1's are only $29 at the momment, just bought 20 because of the price. Its only a $50+ saving of a regular sys 1

I only bought 40, but I am thinking maybe I should get some more.
I really need some #2 and #3.

When the Ikea wire rack collapsed I waddled to the computer place the order, and a rolling trolly.
Should be about 4.5 M tall, so one 2M stack of retic, misc electrical, etc... and then another 20+ in the garage.

Peer pressure [sad]

I just ordered 10. Not even using the two I already have [embarassed]

Where'd you order them Kev? I looked at them this morning, then decided to call a shop tomorrow, being tight trying to avoid shipping. Then when I saw that everyone's buying them up, I tried to order some this evening on the Festool site and it was rejected..

[benwheeler]

It just said something about being unable to do it. I've been trying from my phone - will have a crack on the computer. Thanks..
