I'm looking at getting a couple of the recon tools and was wondering what condition they are really in? Some are at 10% and some at 20%...what's the real world difference? I'm sure they will be in regular Festool working order, but should I be expecting a pretty darn near new tool with little or no cosmetic blemishes or should I be expecting less. Are you all happy with your purchases?

On the third page of this thread Eric made a video about some recon tools he just received, check it out.

I have purchased at this and last years recon sale, all tools have been fine. One set was missing a piece, Festool is sending it to me. Again, I say go for it!

I would suggest you act quickly since this has been broadly publicized now. Lots of tools were sold today and inventory levels will quickly decrease. Not a scare tactic, I just don't want anyone to regret waiting until something is sold out.
Funny you should say that. I ordered mine this afternoon. About 2 minutes later, I went back to the list to see what else I might want and the tools I just ordered were not longer on the list! That was fast! Whew...just made it...Shane Holland said:
All of the Recon tools I have bought have looked brand new ( with the exception of the TS75 that had a speck of dust on the blade [tongue])
I guess the only thing to consider is the warrantee being shortened, but I think the reduction in price offsets that.

The TI 15 I ordered finally arrived yesterday and is in great shape. It's not showroom new, but there's very little wear and tear on it. The Systainer was as close to new as you can get it. The OF 1010 I ordered the last time Festool had the sale was similarly in great shape.

Hey Shane ,
why dont they offer the recondition tools in canada.
I have a friend there who wants to get a 2200 router.
I mentioned they had some recon ones.
He says he cant buy them there.
I understand the contest rules with the quebec folks but recon tools?
Im just curious.

Reconditioned tools are available in Canada. Participating Canadian dealers there can get reconditioned tools on behalf of their customers. Feel free to have your friend contact me if he has any questions.
On the reconditioned tool page of our website it states:

Why can't we just go ahead and order them from ANY online retailer? It seems fairly ridiculous that in this day and age they can't accommodate international purchases.
Anyone have a list of the elusive Canadian Dealers who actually wouldn't mind helping with these?
Have a good one,

[big grin]Well, just got my order of reconditioned tools. I got a TS75EQ, an OF1010 and a RO150 FEQ. All of them really look like they are brand new tools that have been handled a little, but not even used. The OF1010 still has the plastic covering the bottom plate. All of them were 20% off. I feel I got a really good deal, because I know that any of the tools are not working exactly as they should, I can send them back to Festool to made exact. Thanks for all of your comments. It really helped me to take the dive. [big grin]

Glad you got everything in good order and are another satisfied reconditioned tool customer. Any others that scored a sweet deal?
Fair warning that the 30% off tools are getting to be slim pickings. Still have a few drills, the Kapex, CT 22/33, RO 125 and ETS 125 in 30% off.
