My shipping label was create on the 29th, but UPS still has no updates on it yet. You can be sure it won't be in UPS hands until tomorrow, Festool is taking any early sales seriously.

I don't think any of us are concerned about a couple of days, for me I just hope I get one, if it comes in a week or a month I don't really care. I ordered two from different places to try to ensure I get at least one, I don't really care about the sander I bought them for the Systainer, Plug-it and voucher as I use Mirka ROS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered none but not because of bikes...I have a 6" sander so I had no reason to buy this thing, as cheap as it was. I do think it was a good opportunity to make some money flipping them if you bought a dozen or so. You'll have to hold them for a while but I bet they'll be profitable in six months or a year. The sander itself I find to be kind of silly. 5" sanders in general, not just that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 5" sander (Dewalt) and last weekend I wished I had a smaller one, after struggling with a pair of large frames I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have made your position on 5" sanders crystal clear, just poking the bear....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I do find it hard to resist great deals even if I don't need something...and this was a great deal, no doubt about it. But I kind of look at it like when people offer you free baseball tickets. Basically they're handing you a bill for $300. And that's how I looked at this sander since I have no 5" paper. If it had been a 6" sander I probably would have bought two and sold one in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuxleyWood Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Peter Parfitt posted a video review (really and introduction) of the new DTS RTS and ETS, if the US the new ETS is the Pro 5. Note in the US the Pro 5 does not include the hose adaptor nor the dust bag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjdkkUADtBU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I haven't heard anything yet. I'm wondering if I'm going to get stuck in round 2 of shipments. I placed my order at 6pm the first night, so it's not like i waited a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
