PIGTAILS! 110V --- yes I CAN get them in Germany.

[SittingElf]

OK Folks, I'm keeping a tally on the numbers that are wanted.  Just, PLEASE, be aware of what Shane said about warranties if you decide to use these on your current warrantied Festool items.

I will hold this open until August 15th, and then order for pickup on the 5th of September. I'll be in the States by the 10th and will ship at that time. The next opportunity will be in December, when I spend some time in Florida again, so you have options.

The part number I have for these is the latest version, but let me just say that I can't be held responsible for whether or not you make them work for your tools.

Glad to do this for the community, and look for my posts later on Festool Fan gear that I will be bringing back to the USA later as well.

Cheers,

Frank

P.S. - MAN...Are you guys gonna LOVE the Carvex models when they hit the North America Beaches! I've been playing with my new PSC420 cordless, and it is simply AWESOME!

Couple more days before I have to send in my order.

I will post a list of the orders I have in the next day or so with FOG name, and number ordered. That will give a short period for additions, or change in number ordered. Look for it here probably on your Sunday.

Cheers,

Frank

though on the subject of these cables, may I ask a question on this? I'd like to be able to either get hold of or make a plug it extension cable (UK based) either as male to female  plug it  or plug-it to 230v 3 pin. reason for this is for making hose and cable configs for my workshop. You can only get a 3.5m hose with cable fitted and it's not exactly long enough for what I need. Any advice much appreciated.

OK folks. Have to close out the orders for the Pigtails in order to get my dealer working on his part!

I currently have a total of 30 Pigtails requested. I am going to order 35, but be aware that the extra five will NOT be included in the original "at cost" pricing that I've offered to those who have already ordered. (They will eventually be placed in the Classified section of FOG and SMC along with toolies, clocks, and some other items)

The price my dealer is quoting me is €20/ea (Euros). I won't know until the 6th of September what the banking exchange rate will be for the day I pick them up, but you can expect somewhere between $1.30 - $1.37 for €1. As soon as I have them in hand, I'll post another reply here to confirm both receipt and final US$ price. I will be carrying them to Florida around the 9th or 10th depending on when I catch a military space-a flight from Germany. Shipping should proceed by the 15th and I will need to know if you want Priority Mail, or 1st Class. (Again, this will all be at cost...and multiples should fit in a single Priority Mail flat rate envelope. I think the current rate is $4.95. First class mail should probably be cheaper, but slower).

One final caveat. As Shane and others have mentioned...If you put these on a Festool product, you may be voiding your warranty. That holds for other company's products as well, but I think you are all well aware of the warning.

I will PM each of the folks who ordered above (and the one person who ordered via PM) with my email so you can provide shipping addresses. I would prefer payment through PayPal, but a mailed check would be OK too.

If you are unsure whether you ordered or not, or the number you ordered, just look above. I have tallied from those posts. The PM individual who's FOG name ends with an airplane designation is also included!

Stay tuned! They're on their way soon [big grin]

I know I've missed the deadline, but if it's still possible to add 3 more pigtails to the order I'd be grateful. Otherwise, cest la vie.

Thanks,

Richard

Nick of time Richard!  It's Sunday at 8:30 PM here, so you just barely got in!

You're good to go!

BAD NEWS!!

Please see latest post titled " 110V Pigtails - BAD NEWS!" [scratch chin]

Short answer is that Festool has Temporarily discontinued the 110V due to a new California regulation, and won't release current stock.

I feel bad, but it is what it is....
