What Festool Did You buy Today?

[kaseri]

One of these and 2 sets of drawer boxes for it. Now I just need to find the time to transfer all my screws and fasteners into it.

The CT48's that can be emptied are unfortunately NAINA, so everytime I fill one up I have to buy another one. I've been thinking about importing one that can be emptied, but I shouldn't talk about that on the FOG.  [oops]

PDC 18 Basic Set
T18 Basic Set

Taking advantage of the free battery offer. Still a month to go so may be tempted by a 18v Carvex and a BHC

I need to be more careful and actually read the full description for the accessories. The other month I bought a hose hook (452998) only to find out it is for the older vacs. Today I received the one-piece aluminum extension tube (447599). I just assumed that it would work with the 36mm hoses, instead it is for the 50mm hose. That's $144 down the tube.  [doh]

Vecturo set today. I don't know why I got it specifically, but it was my birthday on Thursday so I figured, why not?  I'm sure I will find tons of household kinds of things to use it on.  I can throw away my hacksaw, for sure.

CXS Set, arrived yesterday, charged the batteries and then put it to work today.  I"ve already found 2 jobs for the right angle adtapter.  Great little drill.

Pulled the trigger on a CARVEX PSC420 - FFX in the UK had a Festool offer day so couldn't resist at the price plus i can order a Free battery from Festool for it  [smile]

I would have bought a rotex 150 had they jad it in stock.

The salesman who sold me these tools wasnt exactly a festool nut he implied that festool was overpriced.

It always surprises me when one reads this, or indeed overhears it in person, from salespersons not only of Festool but other quality tools. Do not these salespersons realise that a professionally conducted sale, and not raising undue doubts in the customers mind, is paying their wages?!

Having recently started using Festool and purchased 8 Festool power tools in the last 3 months, I have found the standard of salesmanship vastly different between stores. Excellent, passionate well informed service from some and complete and utter Festool disinterest from others. The one UK store closest to me clearly wishes to push other brands over festool, they have a stand shoehorned into the corner and the sales guys demonstrate little brand knowledge. I think to and extent it could be down to profit margins on brands I still use the store but only to visit and handle the tools before purchasing online at a better price and with better service even remotely over the internet.

Picked up a Rotex 125 today. Now I have the trifecta of Rotex sanders. I think the size is perfect for sanding some chair seats. Feels comfortable in hand and plenty of power. A nice compliment to the 90 and 150 and my other sanders. I really like it so far and it is a perfect balance of size, speed and power for my needs.

 

[slimm]

it makes me womder if they choose to push the brands in which the store gets a higher mark up opposed to the most suitible/best tool for the job.

I have just picked up the 3000m guide rail, no more joining rails for me! !

Refinishing some stairs next week which made it the perfect excuse to pick up some mobile tools. I have a CT36 but it's dedicated to the shop and my CNC.

Wound up getting a CT MIDI, RO90 (to complement the RO150 and have a Delta head), and the wrapped Festool hose to ensure I don't mark up the stairs before finishing. So far impressed with each one, the RO90 is a great size and weight for working on smaller stuff. The MIDI is just much more portable and perfect for onsite stuff. These guys and gals at Festool know what they are doing.

Well, I finally joined the club today (though I don't have the product in hand). I picked up a TS55REQ, CT Midi, Domino 500, and the 6 and 8 mm cutter along with 5mm, 6mm and 8mm tenons.  These will be my first Festool products, and I'm beyond excited!

 

[manuc]

I did as well. After getting the Pro5 I saw how good festool is. Got the TS55 REQ, CT36, MFT/3, Domino 500, and a bunch of accessories in the last month. Used them all and am not sorry. The Domino and MFT/3 together is awesome.

I just bought
Domino xl and 500, RO 90, TS 75 , 1400, midi vac and Mft table. Dropped a lot of cash this summer!!!

First post from a reasonably recent convert. I just got the Panther blade for my TS55. The difference in performance was staggering. It will probably be my standard blade in the saw for a while.
