Festool Roadshow Tomorrow

If you are only looking for a small vac and do not care about breathing dust, possibly a lot of noise, or less efficiency, most any vac will do that. After using the Festool vac I'll never go back, I'll make room. LOL Basically I avoided using my Shop Vac brand and Craftsman brand vac's because of the noise. Also dumping and cleaning the filter on both was a royal PIA. That is not an issue with the Festool vacs so I am inclined to use my Festool on any tool that I can attach it to and every time.

The biggest hurdle with buying Festool is buying the first tool and vac. After that you see and know the advantages and the price is easier to understand.

ROTFL. I will have to say that I was probably instrumental in 3~4 people trying Festool. I absolutely believe they are more than happy with the brand.

For me it has to be quiet, especially if I'm drilling through porcelain tiles, which generally take about 15 minutes per hole, minimum. Not just quiet for me, because I can wear earplugs, but quite for the clients.

No one has to sell me on Festool, I get it. But I can buy their contractor track saw with a rip guide for the price of the vac.

Totally understand. About 10 years ago I had a kitchen reface and new drawers and doors job. I made 1/8" thick maple veneer to reface the cabinets and I sanded the cabinets prior to attaching the veneer. The home owner had masked off the cabinet openings so that he would not have to wash every thing in the cabinets.

While I was sanding he took a nap 20' away. He was shocked that there little to no dust on the counter tops and how quiet all of that was.

Cool! If it's not confidential, send me a copy. ;-)
