    job site

    Lol. Carpenters and framers use Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Metabo, and Bosch. If you showed up with a truck full of Festool, we would assume you have more money than sense. I’d expect to see a bunch of Festool in a fine woodworker’s shop over a job site.

      Commenting from Germany: the amount of Festool I have seen on jobsites is really quite high. Especially due to their good dust collection.

        Aah, my experience is in America. Yes, I can see festool being much more common in Germany, and possibly not as ridiculously overpriced as it is over here.

      Most contractors I know use Hiltis and that’s a lot more expensive than Festool. But there’s a sayinh that I heard once: Buy contractor grade tools, never buy contractor grade consumables
