Default The FESTOOL effect

I have been watching prices on woodworking stuff climb lately.
Especially on junk items.

Woodcraft especially.

What I think it is, and I've seen this before. You get a premium line
in like Festool, and people will pay the price. So then the other
manufacturers and retailers figure if they raise the price people will
think its a finer product.

I am watching some real low end stuff skyrocket.
Be careful out there.


I dunno. I've got a coupon (you can have one too by visiting their website)
for the HF Multifunction Miracle Twitching Tool for $16.77!

That seems like a DROP in price...
