With so many power tool brands on the shelf, how do you know which is the best one? Do you look at price or do you consider innovation, efficiency, accuracy and dependability?
When money becomes tight, we all look for ways to bring in some extra income, perhaps with a small home-based business on the side, making decor accessories or furniture, or just being all-round DIY savvy. This is one area where you can enjoy the fun of making something yourself and then being able to make a bit of money out of it. Let's be honest, entrepreneurship is thriving around the world and South Africa is no exception. If more people empowered themselves with DIY skills such as woodworking, cabinetmaking, welding and so on, we would have thriving businesses that would improve the economy and fill up a huge gap in the market.
The range of Festool dust extractors features HEPA filters to remove even the smallest particles of dust and prevent contamination and increase safety.
When investing in the right power tools for the workshop, lots of people work on a price basis - the cheaper the better, but we know by now that this is not the case. I often say that 'you get what you pay for', and power tools are no exception. There is a power tool war taking place globally and it's all about establishing a reputation, which power tools offer better quality and value for money.
With so many brands on the shelf, how do you know which is the best one? Do you look at price or do you consider innovation, efficiency, accuracy and dependability? Because if we are being honest, wouldn't you want to invest in power tools that offer the best, safest and most accurate results or ones that just do a basic job?
OOne area that Festool has put in a lot of research and investment is that of air safety and dust control, particularly in a closed environment such as a workshop or job site. The range of Festool dust extractors features HEPA filters that remove even the smallest particles of dust and prevent contamination and increase safety. And add to that the fact that Festool dust extractors can be used across the Festool range, you can be assured that you have a clean work environment.
Is Festool worth the cost?
Cost is relative when buying power tools; there are tools designed for the DIY enthusiasts, tools for the woodworker and tools for those who take their craft seriously or need them for their job. Most of the leading brand power tools don't come cheap. Consider that not only are you paying for the tools themselves, but also the research and development that goes into designing the tools that make your life easier and the job simpler.
Is Festool worth the cost? To answer this question, you need to factor in that these tools are specifically for everyday use - under pressure.

Tradesmen and contractors turn to Festool for their integrated dust collection systems and their great features, as well as the certainty that Festool tools work together with dust extraction systems to give the contractor portability and lightweight design - tools that can easily be moved from job to job.
