Safety1st - See Festoolproducts.com Model 583276 for the specs on the 583376 which is the one I picked up in the sale last week. Trying not to be too self serving here, but I am regretting the purchase as I could now use the money for other tools. See the Classifieds section if interested in purchasing. [wink]
Got my 3 tools today that I ordered last Monday night from Bob Marino. A midi, a 150/5 and a ti15 impact set. All look great a few scuffs on the midi but new filter and bag. The drill and batteries didn't even look used in great shape. The sander most definitely had never been used before in perfect as new shape. Even smelled new, if you know what I mean when I opened up the systainer. Very very happy with my purchases. Thank you Bob and thank you Festool!

You can sign up for UPS MyChoice account which is free and it will show deliveries that are scheduled to be delivered to you. You can then request that the package be held, delivered to another address or delivered at a later date. Having them hold the package at the depot is free however they do charge to change the delivery date and or location I think it is $5. This allows you to see packages without knowing the tracking number. FedEx has a similar system.

Thanks for the help- I was assuming that the T-LOC type also meant the newer motor and HEPA (which were my concerns) but it sounds like these features were available prior to the T-LOC. My fault for not wording my question correctly. At any rate, it looks like the CTs are no longer available but I'll keep watching- I'd like to get one to dedicate to my Kapex and move my CT22 under my MFT-3. After reading reviews here on the FOG (Thank You to all who have posted information), adding a MINI or MIDI is the best CT for that use.
I believe the CTs are the unsung heroes of Festool's lineup. I used to sneeze heavily while working in the shop- I originally thought is was from allergies until I got my CT22 and noticed I no longer had the issue. I don't know if they are lifesavers but they certainly make working in the shop more comfortable.

well that's pretty cool. this morning i received an email about a shipment coming my way. by the price listed it looks like i'm getting an HL850 that i ordered when the 40% recon started. pleasantly surprised. i guess it's time to look at the accessories while i'm waiting for it.
did not get the syslite that i ordered but i did not get a notice that i was not getting it either, so who knows.
pretty stoked though. i can't wait to try it on two projects that i'm getting it for: one is smoothing out some huge slabs and the other is a small run of parts where i'm going to use it as a mini jointer once i get the stand. i also can't wait to experiment with the optional deep texturing head.

Yes. As we continue to recondition tools, they will be added. But in relatively small quantities.

Got my gear last night! 55 REQ and a CT MINI! All looks good and in working order. Contacted the powers at be of Festool CS on a minor issue. Awesome response and will have it remedied asap! I can already tell that I am going to be a festy junky after this!

Funny story…
So last night the packages were actually sitting at the front of my building just out of sight. I was sitting inside hitting "track shipment" time after time on a tracking number that didn't work.
Anyways… Got a T18 set and MFK set that are both in great shape. Really excited.

Great idea Shane!
My 40% off recon TS55EQ arrived today. Turns out is is the "Plus" model. The packing list mentioned a "5% recon tool discount" which hints at the idea that this tool would have been sold at 5% off under normal circumstances... and I believe it! There is absolutely nothing functionally or cosmetically wrong with the saw or anything else that arrived today. I'm pretty positive that the track is brand new. The only thing that gives away the fact that this is a recon tool is the tiny amount of dust I found in a couple of crevices, and the very mild wear on the blade. The formed plastic insert for the systainer does have a cracked corner... not that it hurts anything or bothers me one bit. The systainer is otherwise in excellent condition, even down to the card in the lid.
well done, Festool! I'm officially a happy Festool owner. Oh, and I finally found out what that new-festool-smell is all about. makes me want to buy another one... subscribed to the mailing list just now

Not really affecting the server enough for it to be a problem, but there's been a lot of traffic. Just trying to make it easier for you guys. If you like the thrill of the hunt, don't subscribe. [tongue]
And, yes, it was a typo. "noreply@festoolusa.com"

Should I be checking 5pm-8am at all?
Just subscribe, then you won't have to check at all. As I've said before, no new items are added to inventory during non-business hours since it requires human intervention.
