If someone from Festool US was listening to us West coast folks, I'd like to say THANK YOU! While there wasn't anything on the list I wanted/needed today, I sure appreciate having the chance.

Same here. Thank you!

What's silliest in all this, is that the OneAndDone page isn't even findable on the home page? How is anyone meant to find it except through direct link?

First rule of Festool Recon is no one talks about Festool Recon.

It's the second rule, too. Be careful who you say that around.

CT MIDI HEPA Dust Extractor is up now.

Was it the MIDI-I, with Bluetooth? That's one of the only pokemon I'm still waiting to collect!

GoingMyWay · « **Reply #305 on:** April 17, 2021, 09:44 AM »

Sorry, I didn't look closely so I'm not sure what model it was.

Yardbird · « **Reply #306 on:** April 17, 2021, 12:37 PM »

If you want a Midi BT, I suggest you write down the correct model number and keep it handy. If a BT model pops up, you will be in competition with a lot of other people. The BT lists for $640 so $480 Recon. This one was $560 Recon $420.

This morning at 0530 CDT, the HK55 was still up.

By 0545, the list has been updated and I saw an OF1400 and a Surface Control Light.

We're now on the LS 130 EQ Linear Detail Sander.

Still to come:

CT MIDI Dust Extractor (price and image indicate it's a non-BlueTooth)
TS 55 REQ-F Track Saw
Multi-Mode Sander Rotex RO 150 FEQ-Plus
Cordless Oscillator VECTURO OSC 18 Li 3,1 EI-Set (Look! lightweight 3.1 Ah batteries!)

Vecturo didn't last long at all!

I guess we are back to posting at 4am

SDWW2019 · « **Reply #311 on:** April 20, 2021, 11:18 AM »

I woke up early this morning (PST) and checked phone (watching for a Conturo) before getting out of bed this morning. I noticed that the T-55, RO150, and Vecturo were coming up. By the time I came downstairs and opened laptop (like one minute), the TS-55 and RO150 were gone and the Vecturo was up. I would have grabbed the RO150 if available, but instead grabbed the vecturo (since I had one on backorder). They must have had a few of them because after my purchase (and email confirmation) there was another one posted and available.

I never had a multi tool before I got my OSC18. This thing is amazing, especially with the super long Bosch blades. Attachments are gimmicky in my opinion though.

Gimmicky ? I think the plunge base is one of the main reasons to get the Vecturo over competing brands. I love that base. Makes it so much easier when accuracy is needed. Or multiple cuts in a row on a line.

A depth stop on the vacuum attachment seems like it'd be an easy ace.

SDWW2019 · « **Reply #315 on:** April 21, 2021, 12:02 AM »

The attachments were the main reason I wanted the Vecturo Set, especially the plunge base and depth stop. I have an older Bosch, but I never ever get clean straight cuts and its always a bit rough. I'm tired of a slightly rough cuts (e.g., outlet cutouts in cabinets) and looking forward to the depth stop for some upcoming careful demo work on a remodel.

That would be super useful to me.

I mostly use mine to reach into tight spaces or do better cuts than a sawzall is capable of when installing electrical boxes, ice maker boxes, notching studs, etc. I have the attachment collar removed for increased depth of cut. So most of the time I prefer to breathe some dust than spend 15 minutes to install the dust port.

Absolutely. The Vecturo was actually my gateway drug into the green kool-aid because I had a project that required an ultra-thin, perfectly square vertical incision and didn’t have a good way to make it with the tools I had on hand. It’s a killer feature that I’m surprised other manufacturers haven’t copied.

squall_line · « **Reply #318 on:** April 21, 2021, 07:01 AM »

Many, many items up today. Went live around 0545 CDT. CT-SYS was one of the first, disappeared almost immediately.

DF-500 and TS-75 are probably also going to disappear pretty quickly.

Interestingly, the T-18 Easy is the closer today. That's a heck of a good price if you're looking to get into the battery side of things!

squall_line · « **Reply #319 on:** April 21, 2021, 08:38 AM »

That was quick. Already down to the T-18 Easy. Grabbed myself one; at this price, with the 4.0 batteries and charger, the drill itself is almost cheaper than free...

Yardbird · « **Reply #320 on:** April 21, 2021, 09:21 AM »

What all was up today? We lost our power and I was not able to pull it up. I agree on the T18-E. I bought one last time because with battery and charger it was like getting the drill for free-and you get a systainer.

Rick Herrick · « **Reply #321 on:** April 21, 2021, 09:28 AM »

I thought the warranty was 1 year on recon tools. I looked at the T18 E this morning and it the description it said

"Equipped with an EC-TEC brushless motor, integral LED, and many more features, the T 18 delivers at every level while being supported by the Service All-Inclusive® 3-year warranty."

Can anyone clarify which warranty you get ?

I would bet just about anything that's a copy/paste error and that you get the 1 year warranty.

But, no, I can't confirm it (helpful, right!).

Off the top of my head...

CT-SYS Vac
RO 125, RO150
TS 55, TS 55 (two different prices)
TS 75
MFK 700 Set, MFK 700 Plain
T-18 Easy
DF-500 Set

I think there ended up being 11 different SKUs today, so I may have forgotten one of them; they filled up the queue starting around 0535 CDT, then re-ordered them and released the hounds by 0545 or so.

As an aside, does anyone know if the 4.0 will power a Tracksaw? I know it won't last as long but will it work in a pinch?

It works with TSC/HKC55.

Christophl · « **Reply #325 on:** April 21, 2021, 11:01 AM »

So are they releasing these now at 4:45 EST?

Christophl · « **Reply #326 on:** April 21, 2021, 12:05 PM »

lol! So aggravating! I'll get there, Thanks for the info Jussi.

Rick Herrick · « **Reply #327 on:** April 22, 2021, 07:44 AM »

Anyone else having this problem? At this moment there were 7 items listed. When I click on any of them, it brings me to the jigsaw every time. I can't bring up the one I am interested in.

That's not a bug, it's a feature that forces the top item to be sold first. A few months ago, you could get around it the way you described, but it appears that they've fixed the code.

It's tough when a person wants to know more details about a specific item even if they have to wait for it to bubble up before they can order it.

In reference to Jussi's post, there was also a CT-MIDI I up when my alarm went off at 0515 CDT this morning. I want one, but I've been on the road and decided to take the opportunity to snuggle up with my wife while I'm home instead.

jimbo51 · « **Reply #329 on:** April 22, 2021, 07:54 AM »

I think it means only the jigsaw is left. There is a delay in removing items.

I need to post a note in the bathroom to remind me to check. I am often up early for a brief time. Sigh.
