Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted September 21, 2017 Report Posted September 21, 2017 I'd have to see what the discount is before deciding, but to be honest I'm so anti-Festool (the company, not the tools) I probably still wouldn't buy from them. Mine have to come (right now) from the used market. Harry Brink, HARO50 and Grandpadave52 3 Quote
lew Posted September 21, 2017 Report Posted September 21, 2017 It will be interesting to see the quantity and different items. For the price they ask for the tools, you would think they would last forever and never fail right out of the box. HARO50 1 Quote
LarryS Posted September 21, 2017 Report Posted September 21, 2017 The Festool refurbished would still be more than I would want to spend. They can keep them. HARO50 1 Quote

Popular Post Marv Rall Posted September 22, 2017 Popular Post Report Posted September 22, 2017 As in all things, not all locked in hard positions necessarily are to ones advantage. I too view Festool pricing as quite severe. However I find that the pleasure of using a tool that performs better than any I have previously used is very satisfying, despite the higher cost. I only own two----------sabre saw and new low profile orbital sander. Absolutely no regrets. Also many years ago I acquired a Fein Multi-tool. This as been absolutely indispensable for use in the home remodeling and shop work. Interestingly there were tons of commentary about why would anyone need such an expensive tool-----until Feins patent run out and many new and cheaper models became available ---- now there is wide acclaim about how great this tool works. As always one does those things that are personally satisfying. Fred W. Hargis Jr, Grandpadave52, Cal and 5 others 8 Quote

Not sure what Horse weed is, when I was about 13 I chewed on some milkweed, got loonier than Col. Custer riding a buffalo. Herb p_toad, Grandpadave52 and HARO50 3 Quote
