Which Festool did you use the most this year? The least?

Brice Burrell said:
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 have the T15+3 & TI15 - they are both the most used of all my cordless drills (lots of DeWalt, Makita as well) and my go to out of the shop as well.  I wish I would have bought a 2nd TI15.

The most used besides that are the sanders - they are never in the boxes, just hanging by the three vac's/boom arms.  Three ETS's, two rotex.

Router, domino and 55 track saw get used often but perhaps weekly at best.
 
Used my t18 and tsc 55 the most closely followed by the Kapex and of2200 and the least my domino 700xl but I Haven't had it that long and I have used it on a few projects
 
Most used is a Toss up between my TS75 and RO150

Least is my HL850 but I'm not giving it up  [tongue]

 
Most: Domino 700/500 on so many projects they contribute by either making better joints or make things quicker. I can almost always find a reason to use them.

Least: RO90, just never Rewlly hit it off with this tool. I only occasionally need the forcer rotation function and in random orbit the pad is too easily stopped from spinning. Also it's just not especially balanced or comfortable to use for prolonged periods. Add the fact that the delta function is less effective than the one on my Bosch multi cutter.
 
PDC is used every day
Then PSBC 420 18v
Least used could be ets 150/5 as I have a ro90 and ro150 closely followed by the lr32 kit.
 
Use the CXS and CTL SYS everyday, but
Most used and loved is DF500, least used probably is OF500.
Just realised that if its DF500 then it needs to include at least one of my midi's...dang it this is too hard a question! [eek]
 
i think my t15 is my most used tool

second has to be the mini, from then it just depends on the job i use them all daily

fitted some oak worktops this week, i had most tools out my van
t15
mini
of2200
of1010
trion jigsaw
ts55
ets150
ehl65

all that to fit a couple slabs of oak to a few kitchen units

Interesting...the RO90 is my goto sander but I mostly build cabinets as of late so maybe my use-cases support it more.
 
(I've only got two Festools that qualify for this question  [big grin]  I've just recently unwrapped my Syslite KAL II Work Light.)

Used the most - my PDC 18v cordless drill. It's hardly ever out of my reach.

Used the least - my PSC 420 Carvex. I used it for just two jobs in the summer and I clearly need to get more practice with it before I use the next time.
 
Realistically, probably my CXS.  Other than that it would probably be my MFT, since it's currently in use as a stand for my CNC.
 
Finding it quite interesting that we sometimes forget the most used tools because they're integrated so much into our workflow. I'd originally said my TS 55R, then maybe my CXS or PDC. Then someone pointed out extractors, and I'd have to then say my Midi. Then someone mentioned the MFT/3 and I'm using that all the time, so maybe it is that...

Definitely easier to figure out the *least* used rather than the *most* used!
 
  T15 the most, want to add a TSX or csx soon.least would be ro90.
  I use the Bosch sanders for sanding out cabinets now mainly because they are 5".
Still in love with the ct22 and may get a midi just to keep at home, as they are so much better than a normal household vac.
 
Most used award goes to- Kapex hands down.

Least used- OF1400 (but when you need a router you need a router)

MFT and CT 22 are always used.

I have the RO-90 and I like it. It's a great little sander but don't expect to sand everything with it. That's why I am adding 3 tools to my Christmass list:
RO-150
TS-75 with 3000mm 118in rail
Fein FMM 350Q systainer multi-tool

This list helped a lot with my picks!!!!  [big grin]
 
Oh!  the second part of the question The Least : That would be the ets 125.I love that sander but I only use it between the coats of fine finishes.
 
My Ct 33 gets used by far the most.  I have it set up so I can reach nearly my entire shop are.  All machines tat produce dust, chips or shavings get hooked up to it, whether direct or used after a process.

Next comes my TS 55R.  It never goes into storage. Always at the end of my MFT/3 ready for action.  The MFT/3 is next as it manages to get in on nearly all projects.  I no longer use any of my MFT's for planing since I have set up more solid benches for that operation.

So far, I have not used my small Domino very much, but have several projects coming up where I will use it a lot. 
Tinker
 
0. Sys-Roll. Used 100% of the time storing stuff in a "mobile way". Main contributor to keep my mind "clean".
1. Syslite KAL I. For everything including camping in the weekends.
2. CS70EB + CTL26.
3. Vecturo.
4. T18+3.
 
Ro90 is used daily
Domino used least, but when it's used it makes more of a difference than any other tool I've ever owned.
