What do you do with a long guard rail...

[Sparktrician]

It stuck out too far to the rear to be legal, even with a flag.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

 

I've never had any issues hauling 16' lumber on top of my truck with a flag attached, nor have I had any issues with one or two 18' sea kayaks up there.

Modern day Don Quixote!  I'd ask how much you paid, but I already know this score deserves a "you suck!".  I tried to get a 3000mm rail from them a month or two back, but they said they didn't have any in stock. 

I have known the guys there for years, and they pretty much all know me. They decided back in February or whatever that they wouldn't ship this sucker due to potential damage and cost. When they sent out their emil blast last night I made plans to call them when they opened this morning, and be there shortly after. I got for 50% off.

I looked around for anything Festool branded that I could get and 'share' the good fortune, but they only had a few boxes of abrasives. None of them where granat. No filters, no bags, etc. They might have had one Domino bit left.

Sorry guys - I tried!

I ordered the 2000mm MFS template from them today...wonder if this is another case of stock not being updated on the online store.

Unfortunately, I'm positive that it is. They still write their invoices by hand (!!!) and the inventory is updated manually - and very slowly.

The only other stuff I found today was some boxes of construction nails for my air guns, some collated drywall screws, some 'great stuff' foam (at $2 a can - perfect for foaming stye inevitable spaces in my shop insulation), some 20 amp GFCI outlets for my Festool Vac,  and the wife found a few 3M 'command' hooks hiding downstairs.

Thanks...oh well, it was an impulse purchase anyway.  Congrats on your catch.

I just realized what you were ordering, and they WERE there when I left this morning. Keep your fingers crossed - you might get them!

Maybe I did get lucky after all...I got an e-mail stating it was shipped yesterday.

I did indeed get lucky...the MFS 2000mm profiles showed up today in pristine condition.  Thanks to 7Corners for great service all the way through the end!

One peculiar thing about the 2000m profiles...there are no scales imprinted.  I think I had read a long time ago that the 2000m (and possibly the 1000mm) profiles do not have any measurement scales -- I wonder why.  Maybe the equipment is not capable of accurately imprinting on pieces this long?
