To Festool or not to festool…
The question on my mind the last couple of weeks is the one of sanders. Sanders sound like such an easy thing to go out and get. Don’t get me wrong, the Ryobe sanders that I have is just awesome and they do a great jobs for the price I payed for them. But Dust is becoming my enemy and it is winning the battle at this present moment.
So many a little inside to my insane obsession with dust, it was never a real problem, I just grew on a respirator and i was good to go. Lately the little ones what to help in the shop and i want them to show interest in a craft that will bring something to life from nothing. Now you try to persuade a little one to wear one, that is somewhat an unachievable task. So now there is 2, 3 HP dust collectors and a roof filter to collect more loose dust and now the hand tools need to be improved also.
So the question is does festal really work the best, I would hate to make this investment to no avail….

Hello, I’m an employee of Festool and thought I’d respond. Obviously, I’m a little biased but I’ll guarantee you’ll be blown away with how dust free our sanders and dust extractors really are. So much so that you could eat off the surface you just sanded. Skeptical? Well, take the challenge. We offer a 30 day no risk money back guarantee. Buy a tool, try it for a month and if it doesn’t live up to the hype just return it for a refund.

Thank you, the other chalanging part is to decide what tool to buy first and then how to test it in a real world carnatio in my shop. I was leaning towards the domino but am still on the fence about it. I saw there is a biger version out also, is this capable of the same functions as the old one or would I need both?

Hi Shane
I was thinking of getting a domino xl. Are you available to chat a little more about it?
Kind Regards
