After saying I would never drink the Green Koolaid

If you are buying Domino new sign up for eBay Bucks. At least once a month they offer 8 or 10% back in the program. Then at the end of the quarter you get to use the "bucks" just like cash on eBay for anything. I always tend to plow the money back into Festool stuff since I can usually find better deals off eBay for most things. There are a bunch of Festool retailers on eBay, I tend to buy from CPO and Hartville.

Amazon UK and Germany (.de) are very good for accessories and are usually 30-40% lower even after shipping.



One other thing a new Domino owner should do is sand down a handful of each size Domino, take enough off so they are easy to insert and remove (but not so much you can wiggle them) so you have them for dry fitting. Mark sure you mark them and keep them separate.

Amazon Canada a month (or two) ago had some promotion on Home improvement that applied to tools as well. What was odd was that it was 5%, or 10%, or 15% depending on the volume of purchase, but if you applied all three coupons you would get 30% off and it did apply to Festool tools!!. I couldn't believe I didn't buy anything because I don't need anything Festool anymore but some folks got some excellent deals.

I saw that discussed on FOG. Before Xmas eBay had a 20% off three time use coupon I took advantage of and stacked my $50 Pro 5 rebates onto. As a rule I don;t pay retail for Festool, while they have their fixed price system (which is fine) I take it as a challenge to get around it, and I do on almost everything they sell. Now I do buy from my local dealer when I use them to demo a tool but short of that nope!

That is an amazing find and price! I have been watching CL for a while now and see them about $20 off new.

The other green toys have been bugging me to get a new friend for them but I've been resisting...

Van, thanks for the tip about overseas for the accessories! I'm with you and take it as a mission to not pay full price on the Green toys.
