Festool buying Sawstop!?!

[khariV]

Just read it over on Toolguyd.  So does that mean we're going to have a green table saw in the near future?  What will it be called - Stopex?

[FrosBros82]

Hmmmm. Yeah, that will be interesting. With that, I will be curious to see what the price will be?

[Stercorarius]

Well they got as figure they can't make their own because the overfilled sack of shit lawyer that owns sawstop will just sue them, so the easy way to bypass that is just buy the company.

[ChrisK]

I don't care either way, my two top favorite brands owned by the same company equals....yeah! To add to @Stercorarius comments.....agreed. The last legal battle was ?.

[ChrisK]

I will say though, going into the shop and being surrounded dead by all that green and ,y big black and red beauty gives me a happy feeling somewhere down low.

Highly doubt anything will change, just like other acquisitions we've seen... maybe they'll incorporate their yearly price hike though, that would be cruel

That must be it; makes @ChrisK's wife happy too when he puts his dancing shoes on his happy feet and takes her out ?

[BMack37]

Hopefully they'll fire the lawyer.

[BK13]

Hmmm, trying to figure out how I feel about this... do I set aside my hatred of Sawstop because of my desire to get some Festool sanders, or do I begin to shun Festool because I despise Sawstop?

[ChrisK]

Embrace your anger, give in to the dark side!

[BK13]

LOL. Yes sir!

Think of it this way. Festool is Luke and SawStop is Vader/Anakin. Vader is bad then Luke helps Vader become good again.

oh @ChrisK mentioned the dark side so I figured it was a star wars reference. But basically the good guy turns the bad guy into a good guy.

Yeah, I was thinking of the meme that says, "come to the dark side. We have cookies."

 

 

Mmmm, cookies.
