I guess there is always a market for Rolls Royce, but it is more about
showing off than functionality.

Indeed

Of course Stuart, never in your life have you shown off a new tool to
a friend. Besides that, most of us are using these tools alone in a
workshop. There's really not much showing off.

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

And by saying that, you've completely missed the point of what many of
us are trying to tell you. That's the fact that you can't do the same
job with your Trend or DeWalt. When you add up the dust collection,
the ease of use and the added capability, those other tools don't
compare.

I know what you naysayers are really thinking. You're afraid that if
you go to one of the free demo days that Festool dealers put on,
you'll like a Festool so much you'll end up buying it. Admit it guys.
You're afraid of joining the club and being razzed for spending so
much.

It's either that or we current Festool owners are so embarrassed by
our spending so much money that we want to draw you guys in to so we
don't feel so bad. Is that it? You think we're a bunch of misery loves
company tool owners?
