Yup, thanks to the "boldness" of one of our favorite Festool dealers, Tommy got "hooked' a few years back...but it was the quality of the tools that did it.
BTW, it's rare that you'll see a picture of Tommy in TOH Magazine that you don't see a Festool product in his hand if some kind of work is being done in the shot. The current issue has the drill-driver clearly in view next to his hand.
