One for the Aussies...

So I guess it's a case of grabbing the blue backing pad ASAP. Looks like the pricing model is a brief discount followed by a price hike.

I see the special on the Domino at the moment. Buy a Domino and get the Domino systainer for free. $1750.00. I think it will be a while before a Domino graces the workshop

[member=59890]Grakat[/member] You are learning quickly, That Tooltchnic don't give anything away for free.

The price of the domino has gone up quite a bit from last year and by my reckoning has gone up nearly $200 since I first entertained the idea of purchasing one, with the current price structuring the revelation of the domino will unfortunately for me remain a fantasy.

The funny thing was that I had to educate my "premium" dealer on the deal for the sanding pads with the ETS150/3. However he hadn't adjusted the prices on the shelf, so according to consumer law I should have got the sander for the old cheaper price, however with the price fixing deal they wouldn't honour it.

The domino is on the list, but like you say it's going to be a while.

Three weeks since the new price rises and my premium dealer can't be ar*ed to put up any of the new prices, so if you want to know the price of something you have to que up and wait for them to price check it. Couldn't be bothered so left.

 

[Grakat]

Yes I found that too. Maybe now would be a good time for someone to start an argument with their dealer.  [big grin]

Does anybody know how long the DF500 + domino systainer going to be available?

As it's part of the latest promotion, I read in the brochure until the 31st of March

 

[Grakat]

Hmmmmmm

Since the base tool will no doubt go up by 8% after the sale might have to try and get one by March 31st. I doubt any of the dealers will be able to give a good demo on the tool first, as it's a specialist tool, and it would be good to know the ins and outs before dropping $1750 on it.

BTW hope you all have a great Australia Day. Spent mine getting the lawn under control, as this rain/sun cycle promotes vigorous lawn growth.

Lamb goes on the Weber tonight. [big grin]

have they taken down the old prices (if they ever had them up) you would have a case for getting them at shelf price.

Prices on shelves?? My hear couldn't take it!

I was told that the Sys Rock is coming to Aus soon.
  It's not at the top of my shopping list but it will Be interesting to see how they price it.

I won't be lining up for it !

The only way I'd end up with one would be if it was a promotional give away.

I've expressed opionions on a couple of Sysrock threads relating to the features it comes with (or more specifically, the features it doesn't).

I'm seriously curious about what is actually "Sys" in the Sysrock. Surely it's not about battery system compatibility [huh]

Pricing from Tooltechnic? That'll be something to giggle about I'm sure ... and every premium shop will be commanded to have one playing [big grin]

[member=13058]Kev[/member]  Ah, Fantasy Festool,  That great tool company that gives away promotional gear and small useful items to loyal customers.

Unfortunately the Festool I buy from won't  even give away a pencil with the sale of a Kapex, so little chance of a promotional radio.

Just got a $50 voucher in relation to the TSC55 I got a while ago .. curious whether I'll get 3 more for the C18, BHC18 and HKC55 I got since then [huh] [blink]

 

[DB10]

[member=13058]Kev[/member] when did you buy the TSC 55? And can you spend the voucher on anything Festool or does it have to go towards another power tool.

[member=42735]DB10[/member] got it from Northern Abrasives in Brookvale NSW. The voucher says I can spend in towards my "next" power select tool before the end of June ... can't think of anything 18V I need that I haven't already got! Maybe we'll be surprised shortly with a new Ti18 [sad]

 

[DB10]

[member=13058]Kev[/member]  The new Sys Rock should be with us before June, not sure if it counts as a power tool though.

[member=42735]DB10[/member] I sincerely wouldn't part with $0.01 for a Sysrock - how it made it beyond the scope of being a promotional trinket completely befuddles me [blink] [huh]

 

[DB10]

[member=13058]Kev[/member]  My $50 voucher turned up in the post today, This was also in relation to my TSC 55 purchase. I was a bit surprised as I bought the saw nearly a year ago, got until June to use it, I don't need anything Festool 18v either at the moment, I might take a look again at the HKC.

[member=42735]DB10[/member] the HKC isn't awful .. it was the last 18V tool I got. I really like the rails too - I have the short and the medium ones (I didn't get the long one as I've got a 1080 with the protractor on it an feel it's a better way to go for accuracy on a longer cut)
