Strange, I have worked on hundreds of sites, from newbuild to returns, multi million pound projects to domestic extensions over the last 50+ years, and I have see precisely 3 carpenters Festool. The majority use DeWalt, Milwaukee or Bosch.

I occasionally help out a friend who is a staircase designer/maker on site mostly in London and my experience over the last 10 years has been more and more using Festool so just my experience, you have plenty more so there we go.

Albeit the fuckerā€™s broken-down at the mo. With a total of nearly 5 acres garden and paddock, I genuinely need something considerably biggerā€¦ Working on Sam to acquire something like this -

Tradies donā€™t buy the likes of Festeringtool cos they know their vans/garages are going to get robbed-out by pikeys at least twice a year and that insurance is a cuntsā€™ game. End of.

Today I like this one because it has an induction motor.

I have only ever met one, and he was all Festool, complete with the carry trollies and other stuff.

His van was also extremely shiny, had a chrome exhaust and alloy wheels. For the avoidance of doubt Iā€™m DeWalt until the fuckers die, then Iā€™ll go Milwaukee for a change.

But Iā€™m not a carpenter. Alloy wheels and chrome exhausts on work vans are for cowboy wannabes

Which is why they all buy Festool; comes with 3 years warranty AND 3 years theft cover as standard

Actually this describes exactly one of the guys I know :joy:, a neighbor of mine and heā€™s always in his van re arranging it all.
