Phil that might be why you had some nasty blocks of concrete in another post?

Good Afternoon

Most of our stock of the 'New' products has just arrived. RG 130, Mixers, HD dust extractor, concrete grinding and cutting items. I sense one of our epic 'what's in the box' videos coming on.

Best regards

Warren

Really surprised to see Festool make a mixer!

I thought the whole Festool ethos was if they can't improve on it or make it cleverer they aren't interested and apparently that's why they don't make a recip saw. I can't imagine more of a blunt instrument than a mixer, so this has me a little perplexed.

Festool always had a mixer in the range, although I think we could count the number we have sold on one hand. These mixers were in the Protool range and do have some nice features. Although I haven't had a good look, the Ergofix (think big Centrotec) make stirring rod change very quick, and the simple height adjustment seems like a great idea.

They have several mixers in their lineup. A couple of them are butes.

Interesting to know. Thanks.

There have been Festool mixers for a long time, like 20 years or longer, before they even started Protool. Painters and the automotive sector are good customers of Festool so I think that's why they have them.

Are any of these going to be available in 110V?

The tape measure is a rebrand, the vacumes started as Nilfisk, and the QF2000 was a Mafell. Maybe the centrotec is wira ?

It could be repackaged?
I have eibenstock (German) and it is good.

Obviously the concrete grinder is for concrete, and concrete mixers are also used for concrete.

Here is a video of the Protool version. The RG 130 is a brilliant machine, I have used it in training and it can cope with all kinds of materials, my favourite was using the Thermo disc for sticky tile adhesive, very clever.

@Warren....did you go to Germany for Protool training, back in the day?
