Got a smart reply to that scenario Jack?

Well, I've done plenty of work for people, and have had work done for
me, and the shop vac decibel level was never, ever, not even once an
issue. You are one bazaar dude.


Well Joe the fixer upper down the street has done plenty of work for
people too, and he was cheap!

Well yeah, he wasn't paying off a Festool mortgage:-)

But do this for a living, and better and quieter tools are appreciated
by the customer and the user.

Well if I ever become a professional vacuum cleaner guy, running a shop
vac 4 hours or more a day, I'll consider that Festool shop vac...
Meanwhile, after pounding nails all day, running hammer drills into
concrete walls all day, whacking 2x's with a circular saw all day, when
done, my screaming shop vac will let the customer know I'm done, and am
cleaning up after myself. The noise won't bother them a lick, they be
glad it's over. And my vac spews no dust that I can see.

Listen Leon, I'd love to own a fleet of Festools. I've had them in my
hands, ran a few, and they exude quality. I can't justify $645 for a
damned vacuum, and I guarantee you I'm not alone, including many
professionals making a living doing wood work.
