What does the pdc set com with?

[Birdhunter]

What does the depth stop chuck look like?

I have a depth stop on my SDS drill and it is just a rod that stops the drill when it reaches a set depth.

No it's a FastFix chuck UNI-FF (769126) used for mainly screwing dry-wall screws to a certain depth.
It can also be used for wood screws but that's less ideal.

I think I will be a bit upset if my $600.00 drill doesn't come with that chuck but not terribly. If it doesn't come with it, i don't blame Tool Nut in the least. We are ordering a product that doesn't even show up on the Festool USA site yet.

I am not sure what type of pre-sale marketing materials Festool USA has provided the dealers but I do have my fingers crossed that we are getting them.

Cheers. Bryan.

Thanks that clears it up.  I have a feeling Festool Products will have a lot of angry  PDC customer's on there hands, being there description lists the depth stop with the drill.

Sure, it's included.  For an extra $100.

A lot to do about nothing.  Marketing mistakes happen.  Any tool purchase I make I check out the "included" items listed with the product on one/any of the vendors sites, I wouldn't even consider looking at the main Festool marketing page for contents included.  I am interested in the PDC drill, and the vendor sites I checked last night, unaware of this post, clearly (to me) indicated the depth chuck was an optional item. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure a $100 chuck isn't included within the price of the product.  Most people on this forum should be aware of the pricing of Festool products and what typically makes up that price.  The depth chuck in the U.S. has always been an optional item.  You guys praise Festool in one breathe, and berate them in the next.

Go look at your tool photos within the lid of your systainers.  The photos will show additional items that go with the tool, but aren't included with the purchase.  Should Festool remove the optional items from that photo too?  Where is a lawyer when you need one?  Geez......

I have notified Festoolproducts.com about the error on their site.
The depth stop chuck will not be coming in set, plus, or basic versions. It can be purchased separately.

I am not a rocket scientist but I do know how to read, please take a look at the picture in this post of a screen shot of Festool Products website[attachimg=1]

It clearly says "includes the optional depth stop and right angle chuck".  Then when you go to technical spec it says it again.

So next time please look at the site in question and get informed. It was a good question!!!

Tyler, not so fast, read but comprehend.  I stated above "Any tool purchase I make I check out the "included" items listed with the product on one/any of the vendors sites, I wouldn't even consider looking at the main Festool marketing page for contents included."  So, to clarify, I would not and do not go to the Festool USA site to determine what might be included within a certain tool package. 

I also stated "I am interested in the PDC drill, and the vendor sites I checked last night, unaware of this post, clearly (to me) indicated the depth chuck was an optional item."  I did not check the Tool Nut / Festool Products site. 

I also said mistakes happen.  One in which Brent has now stated has been corrected.  Doesn't matter either if one or many took a screen shot of the Festool page before the mistake was corrected, there is always a disclaimer in the event a mistake is made in advertising, etc....

This would have been some really GOOD pricing for the PDC drill and bits and bobs had it included the depth chuck, really too good to be true....  Hopefully, no one thinks they are now entitled to a free chuck due to a marketing mistake.  sigh.

if he made a purchase under the assumption that the chuck was included he is out $100 of the value of his purchase. that is a fair gripe, i'm sure you've been in a similar situation at one time or another. considering how Festool controls the distribution of their products so closely it is totally fair to assume that whats advertised is whats being purchased, but congratulations to you for being so diligent about checking vender descriptions, even though one vendor did include the chuck…

Dub, I KNOW BETTER than responding to your post, but.... An assumption, that is exactly what it boils down to.  No, he is not out $100 of the value of his purchase.  It still comes back to being a mistake in advertising, unfortunate, but it doesn't grant you the products, whether it be spare components or the price of the tool, or automobile, whatever....  It sucks, but thats life.

The depth stop chucks have never been included with any of the drills sold in the USA, has always shown to be an option, and an expensive one at that.  Common sense would have me question if that chuck was inclusive simply based on comparing the PDC to the T18 or C15 prices.

The OP bought the PDC from Woodcraft, what did they show as inclusive with the PDC?  Who exactly should his beef be with, Woodcraft where he bought the drill, Festool USA, or Festool Products for showing the chcuk when he later checked their site?  The sites I checked last night when I was looking into which option I might purchase did not include the chuck.

I guess who've heard the old saying about what assume means....to u and me.  I don't assume.  My job does not allow me to assume, anything.  Period.  If I shut down an oil rig costing $1.5 million per day because I assumed the tool sent offshore included a depth stop gadget, and it didn't, I have cost several companies time and money.  And I would be out of a job.  Quickly.

I guess some people do make purchasing decisions on assumptions, others may check more thoroughly.  Thank you for the congratulations on my due diligence.  I can't recall having made such a mistake, but if I ever do, I will definitely let you know seeing you've pressed an interest.

People will and have chimed in either pro or con, as any such post will generate a range of responses.  We've made our comments.  I'm done.

Have a great holiday!  Really!!

 

[Tyler Ernsberger]

Im not mad or upset with the situation.  I personally do not check every website to make sure all the Festool product descriptions are the same.  I just was not sure if the depth stop chuck was included after viewing the systainer and seeing the depth stop on the Festool Products website being included.    Festool USA has no info on there website.  Thanks to Brent and all the others for being helpful!  Im still very excited  to get the PDC!!!!  Its all good no hard feelings. 

 

[mike_aa]

I noticed that the PDC has it's own specific right angle and depth stop chuck.  Maybe this has been answered somewhere else, but I was wondering if the existing chucks that work with the other drills could be used with the PDC?

Thanks, Mike

I've just noticed that the PDC insert on Tyler's photo is quite a bit different to what insert came with our PDC's down here, doesn't look like the NA one has as much usable space. I wonder why they would change it.

No, they are not compatible. Different mounting mechanism.

So I can't tell Malte, is that the depth stop chuck in the round container? 

 

[ScotF]

It looks like it is under the handle of the drill to me - you can see the little pointed end by the trigger.

 

[bkharman]

I am still hopeful that the 600.00 set includes what they say on the website.  I hope Shane and the rest of the guys can let us all know after the holiday break.

Cheers. Bryan.

 

[bkharman]

Well there goes hope... Just saw that Tool Nut changed the website but not the pic... Oh well, it is still a great drill am I am super stoked to play with it in a little more than a weeks time.

Cheers. Bryan.

Unless you do drywall, is there any use for the depth stop chuck?

They were my thoughts exactly, that's why I s didn't bother with it.
