Core77 Visits Festool, Part 1: An Introduction
Much enjoyed this and very much looking forward to reading the rest. I'm an Industrial Designer in the UK (Seymourpowell), but with my own workshops at home. I became a Festool fan about three years ago, buying their amazing Domino system . . . after that I was hooked and am gradually replacing older tools with Festool. This is a business which seems to have design running through its every fibre; you can see it and feel it in every product - they are brilliantly engineered and an absolute delight to own and yes, we do get hooked. It was, I believe, Festool which first developed a comprehensive tool packaging/storage system with their Systainer, which others have copied - it's a fine example of design making things better (and errr, tool-porn!)
I love my Festool toys. Err, tools. Couldn't built my house anywhere near as easily without them.
