Painter with a new Festool....

[Paint and Hammer]

Hey All, new member here.....

In September I bought my first Festool products. CT26, RO125, and RO90 for an exterior paint job. Immediately I saw the value in this product.

One of the projects that I do is upkeep a 28 000 sqft theatre that gets heavy use. Corners, walls are constantly being banged up. In the past this type of work was only done after 10PM or in the short periods that certain areas were not being used.

Using the hand sander the adjustment is at its lowest setting so its quiet. Today I worked in this space during a show and while workshops were going on. I'm using a Mirka handsander to take down the mud.

You will also see the Syslite. Really like it. Light and portable, yet has the power to show the imperfections of the wall.

No less than a 1/2 dozen people stopped and talked to me about what the heck I'm using. I need to put a card holder on the side of the CT26!  [big grin]

I'm glad I discovered this product. It has easily paid for itself in the few months I've had it....looking forward to adding tools learning about them and offering more to the customer.

Can't seem to load images direct from computer??

Had to load them in photobucket first. Any tips on how to resize photos within iphoto?

Our Ct26 rolled out to a roof leak/drywall repair job this week in which the homeowners expressed specific concern about dust containment.

I believe Festool to be good for consumer confidence.

Hey everybody,
We just brought a Midi with an LS 130 and a RO 90 sander to sand out interior window and door trim; while another painter was first coating baseboard in the same room. Dust-free work zone = Priceless!
Couldn't be happier with our Festool performance and results.

I think this is one of my favorite part with the Festool system, painting in the same area as sanding!  ;D
