| | The Festool Mother Load , A Gloat Name: Dino City: Myrtle Beach State: SC County: Horry Join Date: Jan 2007 Age: 67  11-02-2009, 07:11 PM
I don't like to brag but this was such a find that I have to share. An ex-woodworker decided he needed his garage cleaned out and I just had to help. A very nice set of Festool power tools and each tool has all the accessories that go with them. A large multifunction work table loaded with goodies, 1 drill with 4 chucks, 2 saws, 2 routers, 4 sanders, 1 vacuum system, 2 rolling systainer-ports with extra systainers for storage. The large stainless tool chest pictured also came with the lot and it is jammed with tool and the Festool accessories. The plastic protective film has never been removed from the stainless and is now virtually impossible to get off. Any ideas on this - I could sure use them

 Just think of all the "other" tools in your shop that will feel unused and neglected. I for one would be glad to test some of the green and grey routers out and make sure they all work properly!
Congrats

I'm green with envy...which pretty much bites compared to your "green with Festool". 
Yep, that's a good one there.

You are going to have to share how you find these "deals", although there are other terms that are probably more appropriate. 
Congrats on the acquisitions. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get the stuck plastic off either. I have resorted to putty knives and scrapers which do not do well IMO. | |

Dino First YOU SUCK... second, only I can remove the protective plastic film on those tools. Send them to me ASAP and I'll take care of them for you. I'll make some room in the shop and am awaiting your shipment. | |

As far as the film removal, I'll go along with the heat gun suggestion. I purchased this "on the cheap" because some moron had absolutely COVERED the thing with bumper stickers. Took some time, but a heat gun and plastic bondo spreader as a scraper did the trick. Finished cleaning it after scraping with some lacquer thinner. 
Still speechless on the Festool haul. Nothing comes to mind that's appropriate to post. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)") | |

Like Jeremy I find it hard to come up with a word to describe this haul...
Maybe FESTOriffic, FESTOwsome, FESTOmendous, FESTOnormous .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") ..... | |

Nice haul there Dino. I will also recommend the heat gun. That's how we get all the decals off the race cars here.

Now you really don't have room to build a kayak.  Congrats, you are the master!
