shaneymack Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I just paid 514$ plus tax for this Festool installers kit with brad point bits. I convinced myself because i found a place that had one left in stock in all of Canada. Festool doesn't make this kit anymore. I calculated every piece individualy and it would have been 979$ plus tax. Great deal? Im sure i will use it but dang thats alot of moola. Any of you guys have this kit? Was it worth it for you? Maybe im crazy or just a festool fanboy? Maybe both??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Both. But that's OK, I spend stupid money on things myself just because I want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 In the end, if you're happy with it, who cares? Guess im not convinced im happy with it yet. Im sure i will love it once i start using it. I spend alot of money on tools and never feel uncertain after a purchase. This is the first time. Oh well time will tell.

wdwerker Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I haven't had any quality issues with FT bits or blades . The organization has to count for something as well when you can go straight to the size bit you need , or tell if something's missing. If you can afford it there are bound to be benefits . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would but even if its on sale in the u.s i still need to pay 30% exchange and get it across the border. A couple years back when the dollar was par it was worth it now its not.

wdwerker Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Purple triangles? Waaay over my head... I had to look this up ! Either Nazi symbol on Jehovahs Witnesses in concentration camps or something to do with Ecstasy seemed to be the 2 biggies that popped up. Neither one hold much interest for me.

So it's all about perspective My wifes answer 98% of the time when i "ask" for a new tool is always, " just get it". She has an expensive hobby as well. She has a horse which always needs something, chiro, osteo, vet, ferrier, dentist etc. Freakin horse is treated better than a human. All to say, she is very understanding with my tool buying habit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric. Posted July 15, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Not a purchase I could justify but to each his own. As soon as I bought my pair of Blue Spruce marking knives I handed over my right to criticize anyone for egregious tool hedonism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The problem with bits that cost a fortune is that one tends not to use them, because they costed a fortune. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
