My wife bought me a broom for about $25. The last one lasted me 20

Her broom doesn't suck as hard as my Ridgid vacuum, and it's hoses don't
fit it either.

If you like the tools you buy fine. Don't knock something you know
little about. I don't really understand your obsession with trashing
Festool.

I like some, don't like others. I don't obsess about any of them.

I also don't trash Festools, I never once said they are trash. I don't
even mind that they cost more than other tools, it's a marketing scheme
that works well for them.


Huh... I think you could have fooled all of us on that.

AFFA marketing scheme goes, every single item that is sold has had some
consideration and a marketing scheme to determine a selling price.
Big deal.
