Hello all,

I was in a tool shop t'other day (Axminster) and noticed a lovely
display of Festool tools, so naturally I went over to have a sneaky
grope and see what all the fuss is about. They are clearly a cut above
the kind of power tool I am used to using (just hobby & DIY) but...
the prices! THE PRICES! Why are they so expensive? They are
undoubtedly nice units, but they seem to be inordinately expensive -
500 quid for a cordless driver, 120 quid for an LED work lamp, etc
etc... The most expensive thing I saw was a router for 700-and-
something pounds.

I too have seen then in my local Axminster (Nuneaton), the prices make me
fall about laughing.

They're made for bankers.

Who else could possibly have the money to spend so much on a tool to do
the same job I can do with my Trend and DeWalt tools

So why are they so costly?

Your paying for the name.
