But they’re dark blue!
(With light, grey-ish blue for the rubberized parts)
And if anything, the color scheme festool is known for, is their beige-ish white their systainers come in and their neon green for the logo.
Did you just shitpost without even owning some festool?

I have ALL festool tools, but unlike the Rotex I posted, they have already been used by me, so there’s my fingerprints on them and I’m not gonna post my fingerprints on the internet to appease some colorblind faggot troll with a typical American “blacked” obsession.

How are Festools dust extractors? Are they worth it? Compared to other, pro-tier ones, they appear not that expensive.
They’re cyclone however, WTF? With their (made in Germany, for what it’s worth, I think) vacuums, I can kinda understand the price, but a few hundred for like three plastic pieces clicked together?
But the Starmix/Metabo/Flex one is also insanely expensive for a bit of plastic, what am I missing?

Cyclonic seperators are that simple, yes. The advantage of Festool's is that it neatly mounts on top of some of their dust extractors.
That said, DeWalt, Mirka, and 3M all make similar extractors at similar pricing, and if you want a bargain Harbor Freight now has one with the same tool power-on, suction level control, and dual filters as those for under $400.

> >ima buy cordless shit and then run it with a cord
Ima sit on my ass for 4 hours while my battery charges since I forgot to charge it.
Ima do nothing since I have to work outside in the cold.
Ima pay for new batteries every 2 years because I left them in the charger or *didn’t* leave them in the charger.
Ima buy different new batteries for every tool brand and every line within one brand because I don’t want the 18 yr old cashier at home depot to think I’m poor.

I have their 700 euro tracksaw because it has an active kickback protection that stops the blade when the saw is lifted from the workpiece while active, and I was deathly afraid of losing fingies.
I used it for one project 3 years ago and haven't done anything with it since.

those chinkshit power supplies are about as robust as wet toilet paper
when you attempt to use them as a portable source they soon after start molting components internally usually with the toroid coil that chang anchored with a single drop of lizard guano becoming a charged wrecking ball first
and if you dont fuse them theyll rapidly become smoke machines at the 1st hint of overdraw
so enjoy your tethered fannypack load of ewaste to pack around because batteries are obviously a scam and everyone else must be wrong

Get a mirror, look deeply into it, and then ask that question. The reason I wanted him to livestream it is so we all have something to laugh it when something expensive explodes.

>with a 12v power supply and dc boost
Cool. How many amps do you think that tool will draw on startup? Or under full load? At 18 volts I'm thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-100 amps on the DC side (depending on a bunch of shit the Kreg Edge doesn't display in their tool specs). Price out the cost of 12 volt power supply and DC boost (or an actual 18 volt power supply you fucking nubbin) that can actually handle that and then go back to the battery jew and say you are sorry. Will you be able to power it on an old laptop power supply, or MeanWell Chinesium dogshit or something? Sure. For a while, and then something will pop because you are pulling way more amps every time you startup that motor or every time the tool bits into the wood than that power supply was rated for.
For you kids that didn't stay in school, one of the cool things about batteries is they can output a fuckton of amps for short periods of time. Great for motors on startup or that have brief moments of heavy load. You know what can't output a fuckton of amps? The wires in your house. Most circuit breakers are rated 15 amps max, 12 continuous. That means they can briefly handle up to 15 amps. 16 amps? Shit trips. It also means that they can continuously handle 12 amps (80% rule). If you try and run them at 13 amps they will trip after about a few hours (depending on the manufacturer, age, resistance in your wires, and a bunch of other factors).

lmao it's a 12V/100A power supply I bought brand new for $3, it's pretty robust and has no issue but keep trying to convince yourself you need to get into a new battery platform. be sure to buy two batteries, or better yet another $200 tool with free battery. i think kreg has the pocket hole joiner on sale batteryfag

>everything else checked out so now i'm gonna attack the connector i know nothing about
kek, you really are butthurt about not understanding what a boost was aren't you?
when these become available (and you can bet there won't be a battery "deal" with it) of course i'll measure everything and get it going. maybe a capacitor or soft start might be needed but i highly doubt this chink piece of shit will pull more than a few amps, even at startup. it's a mini router that moves back and forth from the cheapest "brand name" tool company. also you do realize the actual domino comes in corded, right?

He's mad because he is a fucking retard and his every life is super difficult because of it. He has delusions of adequacy and went on the internet to talk up his super great idea. Then he gets hit with reality and now his online life is just like his real life.

only buy festool dust extractors if all of your other tools are festool. i run festool miter saw/router, mafell track saw/jigsaw, mirka sander and i use the makita dust extractor which is really the nilfisk dust extractor with a makita logo on it. cheaper and better performance than the comparable festool. the connection is a little goofy but i am dealing with 3 different manufacturers, 4 counting the dust extractor. it works well enough and is portable.
