What Festool Did You buy Today?

And so it continues.
MFT 3 full kit with CMS.
About to order the TS55 saw and CMS combo.
Made the mistake of adding up all my purchases as a cart on the website...bit of a shock.
Now I am feeling guilty and need to produce something worthwhile!
 
Yup, Pro5 and a Abrasive Systainer of higher Grit Granat to go with it. My first 5"/ 125mm Festool sander purchase.....

Ordered a Pro 5 from Shane - my first step on the slippery slope.

Congrats on your first Festool order [member=62422]Cory N[/member] .  I suspect it won't be your last.  Welcome to the FOG, and the Festool slippery slope! [thumbs up]
 
Ordered a Pro 5 form Festoolproducts.  Will replace the Dewalt sander that create more dust than a woodchippper.  Will have to replace the sticker with a ETS 125, not going down that imperial route:-)
 
A recon ETS 125 was my first Festool.  I ordered one  from Toolnut today along with an extra 18v battery and another roll of foam backed sandpaper.  I love this sandpaper, so far I've bought five grits.  It seems expensive until you compare how much per piece buying from hardware or paint stores runs.
 
Ordered a pro 5 from Aldo couldn't beat the price, though I already have 3 other festool sanders and I won't really use this until I get back to the states next year, I thought why the heck not,

So I had to get a couple of boxes of paper (50) and while I was at it got me a 5mm entering bit and a 6mm brad point router bit so I can use 1/4 shelf pins with my LR 32 (which I won't use until I get back home)

No, it is just an image of the actual clip. The clip is clipped to the insert when shipping.
The clip fits on both sides, locks very solid. If I could have made my hack on the left side of my drill I would not have bothered though, I prefer the Bigg Lugg clip as it is a bit deeper and feels more secure when attached.

The new Festool clip is very good though, better late than never. It was the same back in the days when they wouldn't fit a LED when everyone else did, then they made that silly contraption and the same with the lack of belt clips...

Well, now it is here and the shape allows for clipping in a carabiner too so all in all a good solution from Festool. It is on par with the competition for being a good belt clip. :)

Since the T 18 belt clip is not available separately I'll order the DWC 18 belt clip (#475437).
It looks very much like the new C/T 18 clip and I'll try to fasten it to my T 18 like on the new versions.

DR 18/4 (née Protool?)

So far, very pleased with this. Smooth, quiet, somewhat similar form factor to the CXS (but rather chunkier) so nice to handle. Bright LED light (independently switchable rather then trigger-activated). Large magnetic area for bits or fasteners. The very long cord (25 feet) is useful (until you have to coil it up again!). Additional side handle is very good (presumably the same as for the PDC?).

Came in a Sys 2 with 'attic' lid - a nice little bonus that I wasn't expecting.
 
Got an OF1400 on Saturday and then on Sunday got a screaming deal on the TSC55 from someone who had no use for it and I happened to be at the right place at the right time. Happy with both tools so far!
 
Today; Just ordered the Carvex PS 420 EBQ Jigsaw and the accessory kit.

Two weeks ago I pre-ordered the Festool 201234 "PRO 5 LTD" ETS 125 REQ Random Orbital Sander
