In the past 10 or so days I have probably received 40 or so e-mails from
Festool, often 4~5 at a time.

Each e-mail is offering a re manufactured/refurbished Festool tool at a
significantly reduced price. Seems to be about 30% less than regular
new pricing.

Seems the time to buy if you need something and can do with a 1 year vs.
3 year warranty.

I will say for the popular items, the Kapex, both Domino's, the 3 larger
routers, dust extractors, and drills that you have to be quick to
respond. The first 3 mentioned above are usually gone after 3~6 minutes
of when the e-mail was sent.

Has anyone else taken advantage? I missed out on the Kapex, I was too
slow to respond.

I've pushed the "Buy Now" button on a bunch of them, just to see the
prices. I've yet to see one that wasn't already gone.

You have to be quick to respond as soon as the e-mail arrives, and it
has to have been read shortly after it was sent. 10 minutes after the
e-mail was initially sent is usually too late. I never down loaded most
before 2 hours. LOL way too late.
I have had an opportunity to get 2~3 items. But I have hit my Festool
limit for a while last Monday. ;~)
