Thread: Festool domino from Italy.

I have one. It came with a UK plug. The only thing you need to be aware of is that there is no warrantee. However, Festool is pretty reliable.

thats a good price, as long as its good for 230 volt then its just the plug that needs changing.

I haven't had any major issues with any of my festool gear over the last 9 years, its a risk worth taking at that price.

Thanks guys i also just checked out a Uk company and work's out st $900 plus post. Makes me wonder why they are $1500 here.

No need to wonder, companies love screwing aussies on premium products

Also we have less population than europe/UK/USA, so its all economies of scale, plus a little for for freight and higher wages here.

Remember that GST limit on anything under $1000 is ending soon, if you are thinking of buying in the next few months.

Yep. Same. Got mine from UK a few months back. Back then was just on $1000 for both the unit and accessory box including shipping. Price here for both at the time $1850!

Just plug in any other festool plug it cord or switch the plug to au one; easy.

I'm yet to send anything back for warranty ever in my life so for me the value in Australian warranty is not there; particularly not for $850-. (Now that I've said that everything I have will break lol).

Having said that I've only used my domino for one project so far in 5 months, although in that case it really came in handy to cut 128 mortises so it has value for me already but not the "must have" tool I originally thought.

Who is the Supplier that is shipping to Aus from the UK?

I might have to have a look, as there are few items i wouldn't mind having a look at to compare to the prices here.

The prices have VAT (GST) Hopefully that can be waived.

Thanks for that,

VAT should be removed if they are shipping out of the UK.

If the delivery included cost exceeds 1000 bux , beware than more than 10% GST will probably be levied.
The $300m GST grab hardly anyone knows about

Plus the $1000 tax free import is dropping to $300 in june.
If you have a friendly seller you can always ask if they send the item as a warranty repair therefore no purchase and no tax. I am not sure about tax and gifts from friends ( more research)

Nothing like more tax to make it "fairer".

Uk tax is 17.5% Australian 10% and its still cheaper in the uk and they wonder why we want to save $500.

No honest business would mark a sale as "gift" or "repair". It is illegal to do so. I would think twice about dealing with a business prepared to do that. But, that's just me.

Relatives overseas makes a gift from them easy and perfectly legal.
