Which of NAINA Festool items you wish were available in US?

For me it would be CMS TS75 insert. How about you?

This question perhaps should be more along the lines of which tools which are currently on the Nope, Never, Nyet, Nada list would you like to have available in the US. Your answer would still apply. The vacuum stand is also on that list I believe. These tools have UL issues which may be too difficult to overcome.

There is also the very "unlikely" list which includes tools like the belt sander. Festool likely thinks that number of North American buyers would be too small to justify the expense of converting to NA voltage.

I want an HKC and I expect I will be able to get one by sometime in mid to late 2016 even though it is currently not available.

BTW there is a module in the classifieds.

All of them - since that will never happen, I have resolved to pursue other makes to fill the void.  The delays on the SysVac has me researching alternatives that are available in the marketplace now.  I am seriously looking at purchasing a Barth table (either the Vakuucar XL or the 500V) even though it sacrifices portability and budget.  I am also interested in the HK 85 but there is an alternative that is currently available in North America.  As long as Festool seems content and successful at giving up market share to their competitors, I am more than happy to oblige when required.

All the 240V tools. Then I could have a US holiday and save a bundle [big grin]

I'd like to see the HKC55 and the Sword saws in the US.  Combination of the two would be the cat's meow for timber landscaping walls.

Definitely the SysVac.  I almost bought a mini over the summer as a dedicated sanding vac for site work, but couldn't really justify the cost nor the extra space it would take up when it was back in my small shop.  But the SysVac would be perfect for this.

The modified grinder with the base plate and dust attachment shroud forget what its called. I have the Bosch version, its ok. Would love to have the Festool version

For me its the vac sys clamping system.  That would be such a timesaver in the shop. Plus I have seen quite a few (unapproved)  [wink] modifications that have even heightened my interest more.

The SysVac for sure...numero uno, if not that, then I'll compromise with the BS 75 belt sander so that I can retire my well worn Milwaukee.
