I am that Anthony. It's not just the quality of the cuts and plunging that makes the tools work so well but the way they work. The router for example takes about two seconds to stop. As a safety issue, the stopping time is important to me. I'm a bit anal in the sense that I contemplate safety and a back-out plan before I switch any tool on. The Festool approach to ergonomics, safety, function and quality is something I've known about for a long time but until I was given her surprise gifts, I doubt I'd ever have experienced it otherwise. That plunge saw is another example. I've used circular saws before but never have I used one so sweet as the Festool. It's not just the shock of the new that makes the difference to me, it's the quality that's built-in and you get that by default with these tools.

Once I've finished the built-in cupboards in our bedroom there is another set to do in the spare room and then there are others things to do like bookshelves and so on. She also just barked at me that she wants some window boxes. Cool! This is one time I don't have any problems with her honey-do list.
