The Festool Mother Load , A Gloat

[dino drosas]

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

As many others have said.......WHAT A HAUL!! Congrats on the tools. Now that we've got that out of the way...........

Seems like I recall reading in my law journals that it is a felony to be in possession of that many fine tools at one time. Send me directions to your place and I'll be down this weekend to pick up about 50% of them. That should be enough off your hands to keep you out of the pokey. After all, what are friends for?????

Thanks for the kind words guys and you are right; I HAVE TOO MANY TOOLS! I will probably sell some of these off in the near future.

I tried everything to get the plastic off of the stainless and nothing really works. Even with a heat gun, it peels off in little bits. I have finally started using a razor blade and then dissolving the adhesive with acetone. This method is by far the easiest and makes the least mess.

That is unbelievable, talk about being in the right place at the right time!

The only way I'd get an offer like that is if they were all broken...

Good for you!!
