Thread: Upcoming Sales??

Shane, there are some items in Buy Sell & Swap at the moment. Other than that I am not aware of any sales. I assume you are watching Anthony's site (sponsor) as he often has deals running.

Are you talking about ideal tools? Yes I am, but my local alternative is usually slightly cheaper, though I do find the website to be an excellent reseach tool (though sometimes vauge on the accessories use & inclusions)

Cheers!

mate you got to keep your tools higher than the floods ! or get them in the tinny first . sorry you lost out , best wishes bob

Hi Shane ,long time no hear,I've bought a helluva lot of Festool gear mainly off of my local bloke and the cost is always a lot better than often quoted and saving me literally big heaps of $$$$ by dealing and negotiating down the cost with the same bloke ...he knows I shop around for prices before talking to him.

Also often the WW shows are good to deal with the dealers.
Looking online amongst the various dealers can also reflect price variations or by calling them they can give a "best of price".

I dont believe that the prices are fixed, but that they're also negotiable!

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with losing your gear to the floods last year.

Cheers

This may be a welcome bit of good luck Shane, I've just recieved a Carbatec sale catalogue in the mail and amongst other items, all listed on their site, they have the 150mm rotex for $759, 22ltr vac for $899, ETS 150/5 ROS for $469.
Also listed is a plunge circular saw, the domino and a laminate trimer, but because of a print stuff up I can't tell you their prices.

I don't know how these prices compare to what you can get from your local bloke, or if these are items you need, but it's a start.

Sale goes till 31st March.

Ben.

Just looked closer at their site and everything but the Festool is listed under "specials" up the top. Even when looking through the festool section the sale prices arn't listed. You'll have to give 'em a ring.

Thanks for the input guys.

I am actually looking more for accessories, not to many seem to stock much in the way of accessories though so I doubt they will be keen to discount if they have to order in.

Like you say John, maybe better to wait for the WWWshow.

hi shane, i am a carpenter, i have $15,000 worth of festool tools, i never pay full price for anything, i always get minimum 10% off RRP.

i did not buy these tools all at one time, i normally buy 1 tool at a time, depending on the type of job i have to do. it has taken me 8 years to collect these tools.

the latest tools being ts-55 saw, ct-22 vac, 1010 and 1400 routers and kapex saw.
all great tools, no buyers remorse yet, i love using every one of them.

Justin,

So do tell who your supplier is. If your on the coast then its not far for me to travel if your supplier is down there as well.

I've sent a message to Ideal Tools (forum sponser), with no response yet.

Cheers
Shane

hi shane, i first started buying festool in sydney, f&k power tools.

i work 50% gold coast, 50% brisbane,i never buy any tools on the coast, i think tool shops in the gold coast dont sell enough festool to warrant giving much discount.
i always buy in brisbane, i am never loyal to one shop, if i think they are not giving me the deal i want, i move on.
i currently buy from C&L Tools at.... 459 Nudgee Rd, Hendra. PH. 3868 4343

Thanks Justin,


Yeah I've dealt with C&L recently. Didn't really think much of their service though. Might have just caught their sales guy on a bad day.

Thanks for the input.!

Shane.
