The name may sound odd, but there is a veritable MANIA going on out there for this particular brand of high end powertools.
If you are remotely related to a woodworker, you probably have already heard of Festool tools. If not, let me lend you my limited knowledge...
According to the official manufacturer website, here is the story of Festool:
The company was founded in 1925 by Albert Fezer and Gottlieb Stoll in southern Germany. Ever since our goal has been to offer the expert tradesman tools to make daily work better and easier. This effort has led to numerous technological breakthroughs like the first portable chainsaw and has made Festool a leader in innovation, expertise, and quality.
During the past 76 years, techniques, technology and the work you do have all changed. We have been one of the drivers of this change, with major innovations all along the way. We’ve focused on the needs of the skilled trades, and are proud of the close relationship we enjoy with our users.
As we developed, so did our logo and name. Festo has been changed to Festool, better reflecting what we’re all about – tools. The name has changed, but our commitment has not. We will continue to give you the best in technology, quality and results, with tools that are like nothing else.
Apparently, if you are a person who like to make things out of wood - there is NO other tool to even consider. They are that good.
I'm just getting into it myself, so I'll enlighten you with more Festool info in the future. For the time being, I'll just say that my favorite online dealer for Festools is Mr. Tim Tyler - the guy reaaally knows Festool, and woodworking.
