 Did you know: Festool was the first company to produce a transportable chain saw. That was in the late 1920's, after their beginnings in a small workshop in southern Germany in 1925. Originally named Fezer & Stoll, then Festo, Festool was founded by Albert Fezer and Gottlieb Stoll. Their goal was to make the most efficient tool they could for the professional woodworker and thus offer the best return on investment (ROI) for power tool purchase in the industry.
Festool's goal has always been to offer the expert tradesman tools to make daily work better and easier. They stand behind their high quality tools and accessories with a 3-year warranty, which is longer than any other manufacturer warranty. As the Festool website brags: "Many Festool tools are still in regular daily use after 20 years." Basically, Festool sets the industry standards that the others aspire to.
Toolsnob.com ran some great articles last week on three new Festool products:
1. Festool MFT/3 Workbench
2. Festool's OF 2200 Router
3. Festool's MFK 700 Modular Router
Most fine woodworkers agree that Festool makes the absolute best woodworking tools in the world. The only reason that more people don't buy them is because of their extraordinary high price. But... if you want the best quality professional woodworking tools that you only have to buy once cause they are so damn good, well then Festool it should be.
The Festool website says it best:
"The cost of a tool is more than just the purchase price. How fast does it get the job done? How long does the tool last? What are the workshop and on-site logistical costs? How versatile is it? How long does it take to change blades, bits and pads? How long do the consumables last, and how well do they perform? How much material can you save due to higher precision? When you add it all up, the high quality, efficiency and long life of our tools gives them a real edge in the real world of professional use. Festool users find that they get more done faster, at higher quality, and that our tools keep on performing long after others have given up and quit."
