Just imagine if GM or Ford or Fiat told every car dealer selling their brand that they will only sell the cars/trucks for the price on the sticker. No dickering, no bargaining with customers. If you do then your car dealer lot will be closed before the sun sets and every car will be taken back and you will be sued in court. I'm guessing this is illegal in the USA for cars. But somehow its allowed for tools.


If they were the only tool supplier, I believe things would be
different. Festool does not have a monopoly (except on Festool tools),
as there are plenty of suitably-equivalent tools.
