As I pulled my TS-55 out of the truck the other day I wondered which Festool comes out of it's Systainer most often for others.  Which one?  Which one do you wish you used more?

[size=13pt]Couldn't agree more Peter; certainly the TS55, then Rotex 150 followed equally by CXS and C15.  [smile]

The least, my Domino 500 but it was certainly used.
 
I pretty evenly split between TS-55 and 75and of course various rails, closely followed by ETS-150/3 and MFT.
 
Not sure about most, but if I could just tweak the category a bit and say the tool that has performed the most valuable service for me this year has been the 1010 -- I flush trimmed my way out of many jams this past year with this one, not to mention all the run of the mill router work it handles so well.

Least has been the LS130, but thank god it's there when I need it.
 
TS 55R - in fact, so frequently that it often doesn't even make its way *back* into a Systainer! Least would be the EHL 65 planer, but as per some other comments, when I *do* need it it's good to have it available...  [wink]
 
toss up with kapex and ts as the most, the least would be of1400/carvex
 
TS55R and Kapex. I held off from buying the Kapex for ages because I didn't think I would get enough use out of it given that I had a TS55R, a TS75 mounted in a CMS and a bandsaw. Its turned out to be invaluable.
 
No one has a Festool drill/impact??  No question my drills and impact come out most, TS55 after that.  I love my OF2200 but it may get used the least.

I guess my CXS and PDC are out as much as anything else actually; just didn't think of them! Since acquiring the PDC though, my T15 and TI15 haven't been out of their Systainer; may be time to sell those as they just don't get the use now.
 
TS 55 REQ was used the most by far. Least this particular year has been the Carvex. I predict this next year its going to be a three way race between TS, Carvex and PDC for most used. It already looks like its going to be a busy 2016 so I doubt any of my Festools won't be getting a lot of use.
 
DS400 and CTL Mini together. They are always connected to eachother like husband and wife and they're always in my hands.

Broke my DS400 today.  [sad]

The one I used least is the EHL65, I haven't touched it once.

I wish I could use my CS70 more often because I like jobs where I have to make something. Think I've made about 10 cuts with it this year. I've been mainly painting and one big demolition job that took almost 2 months.

Edit: forgot the T15, that one also gets a lot of use.
 
Most? CXS. I keep it at home so it's always in use. And the Syslite. I use it when I take the dog for walks at night so I can see what I have to pick up.
Regularly? Domino, TS55, jigsaw, sanders.
Least? Router. I used it perhaps three times, but every time it was the only tool for the job. . LR32. Didn't use it at all.
 
For me, I used my TS55 and my mini the most followed closely by my Domino and the mini...wait I guess I used my mini the most...lol. For the least used was my HL850E planer.  [big grin]
 
TS 55 I used a lot, Least would have to be my 850 planer

Edited to change least used
 
TS55, MFT/3 and all of the rotex for sure. Lately the CXS is being used the most, its a fairly new drill
