Too much value these days in the lifetime warranty (and recent brushless models) for me to buy something else.

Big Snip

Comparing HF to Festool in just about anyway is just stupid.
One is a tool designed and manufactured to the highest tolerances for
dedicated woodworkers or exacting professionals, and one is a utility tool
that fits a certain need. I have never heard of a professional saying,
"man, one day I would really like to have one of those HF miter saws".

Don't get this one...

You don't get that the fact that you know "pro's" (yourself even) that
uses HF tools does not infer that HF tools are great tools designed to
last any more that a pro using a festering tool mean they are balls to
the wall best tools ever made...

You know Jack that is exactly what he said by my reading.

YMMV I guess.

Well, it is exactly what I said. What he said was comparing a HF to
Festool is stupid. THAT is a strawman. No one compared the tools, Leon
made the statement that Festools were good because pros use them. My
statement was pros use HF as well, so what. Further more, very few
"pro's" seem to use festool, more use HF, so that obviously proves
nothing at all, since HF is pretty much junk.
