Jronman Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I happened to find a retail site saying March 12 for the new 3 drawer tough system box. No date on the 2 drawer but I can hope it has the same or earlier date. It appeared to be a UK site so the release date may be different for North America. If it is even coming to North America. I haven't even seen any listings for them on the US sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framer joe Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yup yup Dewalt is slacking right now, so I’ve been on a Festool road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm gonna try and snag some Festool before March. New sander and new vac. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopjock78 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm kind of going the other way with regards to Festool. I believe that other brands are slowly bridging the gap, and festool is doing little to keep the gap widening other then the yearly price increases. I have around 7-8 pieces of festool gear as well as a vac, but i'm not really seeing anything new from them that really excites me.....Except the bluetooth remote for the vac's. That will work exceptionally well when i hook up the CT26 to my new Makita cordless slider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy MSG Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I just got an email from DeWALT announcing the DCF894 mid-range impact wrench, it says it has a max torque of 330 ft-lbs. The email mentions it joins the 1/2 inch DCF899 (with a max torque of 700 ft-lbs) and the 3/8 inch DCF890 with 150 ft-lbs of max torque. I don't see myself buying one since I don't turn wrenches for a living anymore, so my old Ingersoll Rand will eventually run with a FlexVolt compressor once every blue moon in the future should I need an impact in the future.

They have a few extremely well thought out tools that just work better then other options. Dust extraction is also quite top notch if that is important to you. On the other side they also have a bunch of overpriced tools which were special 8 years ago but have since been surpassed by other tools from other brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side they also have a bunch of overpriced tools which were special 8 years ago but have since been surpassed by other tools from other brands I cant find really anything with your statement that I can really disagree with. I really got into the brand about 4 years ago when i splurged on the track saw. Then the dust extractor and rotex sander. Then the domino, 3 more sanders, jig saw and router. All exceptional tools with great dust extraction. However, as you said, other tool companies are closing the gap, and possibly surpassing in several areas. Their track saw isnt miles ahead of everyone else anymore. Multiple companies are catching up on the sanders. I still follow the brand and will absolutely buy Festool again if they have something that fills a need of mine and the price is appropriate. But I am now heavily invested in the Dewalt 20/60 volt lines, and now also getting into the Makita 18V line. Festool really needs to go back to the drawing board if they want to stay ahead of the pack....or even stay WITH the pack...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
