The FOG.

Maybe they've sussed you out and banned you.

 

Wanted posters, do not talk to this fool.

 

Tried the link sod all

 

You been banned too???, what you been up to

 

Perhaps they are asking uncle fester for advice

 

Iv'e seen this on a few foruns I frequent & or moderate, & it usually means, there is a glitch, maintenance, or a Database backup in progress

 

I did.

 

Been down for more than a week apparently. I reckon they are dead.

Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

Was down yesterday too came back for a short period though

 

Yeah same error here. Maybe they have packed up or waiting for someone to fix their site?

 

I've had the same problem.

 

Not sure if I am peckish



Or feel like a trip across the globe

 

Anyone got any Festool kit? I'm retired,so can't justify it. Is it that good?

 

Yes

 

Most of their gear is very good, there are a lot of people buying all their stuff regardless of whether it's the best in it's field or not, sort of the apple of the power tool world.
Their drills for example whilst well made and worth it if you buy into the centrotec system, aren't by any means unrivaled by other manufacturers , a lot of the stuff is worth more to you as you get more as much of it works well together as a system, many tools running off of the tracks for example.
Their tracksaws are very good ( although I prefer mafells ) as are the routers, dust extraction is a main selling point for them too, the kapex mitre saw is probably the best on the market in terms of effective dust collection when used with a extractor, however cutting accuracy and quality can be matched with other brands.
The aftersales service is also a big selling point for them, in general they're well above and beyond makita,dewalt etc but I wouldn't say they're best of the best across their entire range.
