Welcome to the forum dude!

I'm surprised Shane hasnt come on but all Festool dealers have been ordered to stop taking orders. I checked on the fog and he said they had enough units to cover their sales however it looks like Festool may have exceeded expected sales quicker than they though. Well......duhhhhhhhh According to the thread, Shane will reach out to customer service if there is a problem fulfilling orders but it sounds like Festool Products i.e. Tool Nut ordered enough for their orders so.....keep your fingers crossed

Peter does a heck of a job explaining the PDC and showing some of the capabilities of the machine, I just cannot justify it

I was seriously thinking about the PDC but truthfully my T18 set is pretty friggin awesome. I also just got the new Dewalt brushless set yesterday with the 60v and 20v 2.0 so I'm all set with a hammer but the PDC is a pretty beautiful machine.

Ah so! I was a wee bit confused!

What's the Metabo Fein DR?

Still working the fresh up boys!!

Last "sale" was a couple of years ago when they sold their reconditioned tools. Great saving during that sale. I bought my Kapex at a fraction of the normal price as well as my 1400 router and a CXS drill. Occasionally they have a sale but very infrequently. They do have a 10% off when you buy a combo of DC and tool. But just like Regopit said, this is a smart marketing concept to get nay Sayers into a high quality tool for a low price. Once you try fit and finish and see capabilities most people are blown away. Festool gets critized a lot for being over priced and only useful for controlled environments usage but in other parts of the world Festool is used by tradespersons in the field because they are so well built and take huge amounts of abuse. The tools are designed for very hard use but couple that with super accurate machining for fine woodworking as well as construction. Here you see Festool used mostly by woodworkers, finish carpenters and cabinet builders. I will say say your next purchase IN MY OPINION should be a DC unit followed by the TS. Then routers, Dominos etc etc etc Once you try sanding with the HEPA DC and fine dial it in it's crazy. Very slippery slope here guys. Believe me. T18 Set CXS Set Cabinet Installers Set MFT/3 MFT Kapex Kapex OF1400 OF1010 MFK700 TS55REQ HKC 55 Midi Multipe Tracks Clamps etc etc etc....all of this makes my shop a well equipped shop that can essentially be moved from one location to another with minimal impact and it all easily fits in the back of my 16 Tundra Crewmax. $$$$$$$$$$ I will also say PJ from the Tool Nut (Festoolproducts.com) is friggin awesome and Bob Marino are the guys I use for my purchases. Both fantastic to deal with. I know some of the guys here have had some problems with ToolNut but I for one have not.

Welcome to the forum dude! Glad to have you here sir.

Looking awesome Mike!!

I'll take a new family picture to post when I get my shop moved into our new home. Lots of blue green!
