Sales?

[PiperMike]

I am a hobby woodworker, but I am very interested in Festool.  Unless I get really good at this stuff, I will probably never make my money back on these items.  Having said this, does Festool aver have sale prices on their tools?  I notice every vendor sells them for the same price and I never see discounts.  Does it happen?  I plan on buying my first Festool soon, either a Trion 300 or TS55.  If I am impressed enough, i will collect more.

Buy very soon, there's a price increase in a week (2/1).

It's not often that there are promotions. Presently, there are no plans for any type of promotion in the coming months. Sorry.

The Trions were discounted a while ago and they are truly excellent jigsaws. They are going up 6% on 2/1.

The new pricing vs. old pricing can be seen here. Some is up and some is down. On average, the increase is close to 8%.

Yeah the reviews are more positive than negative.  The only negative ones I hear are the rough visibility when the blade is enclosed by the dust collection system.  I read where one user likes to pull the jigsaw toward him by the pommel on top.  This may eliminate visibility problems

To be honest, the Trion is the one Festool I own where I don't even bother with dust collection.  Jigsaws just don't generate enough dust to be troublesome.  I've owned several other jigsaws and this is the best one I've found.  Visibility is not a problem without the dust shroud.
