I don't get it, surely they can't be that good?

It's a German company that produces its tools in Germany and the Czech Republic. They pay their employees rather than using slave labor, and the quality is higher as a result.

The only thing worth a shit they make is the Domino and maybe their vacs, everything else sucks. Also, their stuff doesn't work without their proprietary bullshit, enjoy paying 5$ for a single dowel, for example.

Festool is targeted at cabinet makers and other fine woodworking installers. I have a stack of it collected over more than twenty years, but it gathers dust because what little woodworking I do is with dimensional lumber and plywood, and is easier to do with my collection of cordless tools.

Automotive painter/prepper/bodyman in my smol workshop.
RO 90 and 150 is what i have from Festool. Shits great. Need to get to (or even through in corners) metal, fast?
Take loud as fuck Rotex. Same deal with kicking down fist layer of putty. Some of them can be really hard to sand.
90 is a beast also, i never thought that delta attatchment can be used for cars. Just zip the shit out of rims or other places.Need forced action polisher? Blast em clean and slap pad on and get going. RO 150 has same specs as Rupes Mille and it just works.
If it falls apart, send it to repairs or get parts yourself. They will outlive me.
Probably these are last generation Rotexes because bigger one is in production for almost 20 years...For more delicate or quieter sanding i have Mirka Deos blocks and smol n big Deros.I started my effort from scratch, without funds and support and after a year, system basically works. Even in remote europoor village.Thanks for reading my blogpost.
