[greg mann]

C12

Kapex

Domino

This reflects frequency of use for the most part.

This is my best estimate of the results so far as some have included combos etc. I haven't picked any of Peter's favorites so far as he included the whole Festool range and 17 different lists. Can you do just three so I can include your results?

TS 55 9
Domino 9
CT Vac 6
TS75 3
RO150 3
CXS 3
Carvex 3
Kapex 3
OF1400 2
MFT3 2
ETS 150 2
CMS 1
Kapex Mitre Station 1
OF1010 1
OF2200 1
Vac  Clamp 1
RO125 1
T15 1
DTS400 1
C12 1

As a woodworking newbie with no speciality type tools, the domino made me it easier for me to look like a pro.

Domino DF 500
TS 55
CXS

I'm surprised to see the BHC mentioned only because it was released a month ago.  But that's good news, I was eyeing the BHC for the sole purpose of drilling into concrete.

[peter halle]

CT22

 

[ccarrolladams]

I have a successful custom cabinet business. I own virtually all Festools available in the USA, plus some no longer in production. Every Festool has made me money, so I normally do not pick favorites.

Most of my dust extractors are CT22, all of which function as if new. I also have two CT36 which look brand new.

The three Festools I personally use the most are:
Kapex
OF1010 with LR32
TS55

 

[SoonerFan]

Today mine would be:

TS55
OF1400
RO125

I just got a Carvex last week.  I will put it to work this weekend to see if it can break into the top 3.

How can you keep it to 3?

I LOVE ALL MY FESTOOLS..... They are all my favourites like having 20 kids and asking who is your 3 most favourites.

They all do their jobs extremely well..... Perhaps we should ask what is our least favourite 3.

I'm with you, I literally can't answer this [huh]

But I will throw in a curly response - one of my favourite Festools is Granat ... and another is Centrotec.

My top 3 festools are the ones I have have yet to buy, whichever they may be  [big grin]

 

[erock]

1.  Plug - it cord.

2.  27/36 mm hose.

rotex
domino
t-15

ct sorta implied with rotex and domino. I don't use it without a festool attached to it do do other things so I don't really consider a separate item.
