Do any of you anons get one? Is that even a thing in the US, or is that an Euro thing? Maybe even Wera "invented" the idea? I really like the idea and especially Wera occasionally had some "special editions" (i.e. color schemes you can't get outside of the calendar) or fun things (like salt and pepper shakers made out of their iconic handles) that you could get just for fun, but now, that the market is flooded with them, it's always some cheapo bit- or nut-set, which everybody already has plenty of, so it's a) a waste and b) you just know what you'll get after opening the first door and finding a philips bit Milwaukee used to be on the right track, with their >fuck it, we're doing only 4 big things, for each advent sunday approach, where you could actually get some useful stuff where you don't already have multitudes of, but now, they also went for the 24 things route (and a high price). Is there any Burger brands I'm missing, that might be interesting to get? Festool isn't looking to bad, but it's coming at a Festool price, so I dunno.

an advent tool calendar either sounds very expensive or very boring. it might be good for someone who doesn't have a lot of tools.

Is this what you graduate to when you get the entire collection of funko pops?

They exist in the US but they're much more of a Euro thing. Like you say they're usually shit you already have, and they're usually aimed at "tool collectors" - aka redditors - rather than people who actually use their shit. It's not helped that the poster boy brand for it is Wera, one of the favorites in the world of people who post photos of spotless tools on the internet all day.

I suspect shops will drop the price of the festool one or add it to orders for free around november

> if only PZ2 and T20 need replacing. I think more about the T20 I lost in the insulation dust pile while fixing a leaking roof 6 years ago than I think about my ex. Was a good bit.
