You can, you just need to post your voucher to the dealer. See here on FFX.

Call me thick (and not for the first time) but isn't this a strange offer? this offer of a free battery is only on BASIC versions of products, so you would need a charger at some point (either already have an existing charger or buy one separately).

Not much good to anyone who isn't already on the 18v system??

The 5.2Ah batteries are available for both 15 (14.4V) and 18 (18V) versions of Festool tools.

From the email I got from festool you only get a voucher if you have recently bought a cordless tool so you should already have a charger.

Hmm, I just thought it was 'not applicable to me' rather than strange…
The recently-acquired battery Festool I have (CSX) isn't relevant here; apart from that (and the wonderful Syslite II) I'm all corded or 'other-brand' (for the moment at least…). So I guess it's more of a reward for loyal system-adopters than for drawing in newcomers (I'd quite like a C15 or a BHC - or maybe a cordless T55 or a jigsaw, 'though either would be a bit of a luxury just now - and I'd need the charger and two batteries anyway).

I'm not complaining mind, it sounds like a generous offer.

Not so, I received a voucher and I have only bought 2 Dominos, a TS55 and a Rotex 125.

I have too much invested in Ryobi One+ 18v stuff to make a switch, but on the upside the newer Ryobi One+ stuff is also Green and Grey  [cool]

 

[wow]

Is there no way to use the voucher on a 'Set' version? It seems like it would cost Festool less (as a percentage of profits) if a customer bought the 'Set' version than if they purchase a 'Basic' version. And offering it on the 'Set' version might be just the push to get someone to buy into the Festool cordless system.

As an example, the Carvex only comes with one battery. Being able to apply the voucher to that would at least give you two batteries - which I kind of consider to be the minimum needed for a cordless tool.

Or does the voucher only apply to drills? Obviously I haven't seen one in person...

I haven't received a voucher but it appears to apply to any 'Basic' item.
I could be quite tempting if it could be used to knock the price of a battery off of a 'Set' purchase (or maybe add a third battery for heavy-use tradesmen).

You make a good point but the voucher states FESTOOL BASIC product, but this could be any of the BASIC cordless, drill, jigsaw, plungesaw....

My point exactly! Perhaps Festool will consider making that change in the interest of selling more product. After all, that's why they're doing this, isn't it?

Cheers for that Jonny, it might just tempt me into a DWC purchase from FFX.

But first can anyone confirm the 5.2Ah battery that the voucher is for can be charged on the TCL3 charger that came with my Qua drive PDC 18 volt drill?

Cheers,

Doug.
