Review for Festool by Jason Gallacher Joinery
13th September 2022

As a user of the TS55 track saw and CTL midi extractor for the last 6 years. This is an expensive piece of equipment but as any user of the festool products know they are well worth their weight in gold. Quality and precision are as perfect now as it was new 6 years ago.

Premium tools with a respectable price tag, we use a kapex 120, ts55 track saw and their drywall sander along with an extraction unit. Fantastic kit and well worth the money, look after these tools and they'll do you good

I have had a ts55 rail saw for 15yrs+ I am now on my 3rd one and only because I keep all my power tools for 5yrs and replace them this is the best saw on the market by far so accurate and precise it's like a factory finish if you keep the blade sharp !! Couldn't be without one of these in my van !! Festool are simply the best albeit a bit pricey but you only get what you pay for !! One word excellent !!

I started using a Festool MIDI dust extractor with my wall chaser when I blew up my old Henry Hoover. What a machine with the filter and filter bags there is zero dust when chasing out which is fantastic especially in occupied rewires. The only downfall I have is I find the top of the casing quite brittle and easy to break when knocked

Festool Rail saws, light and easy to use. Detachable cable is a lovely touch to. Comes in its own stackable box. Blade changing is quicker than all the rest on the market. Variable speed is easy to use. The depth setting is quick and easy to use along with the rails which can be extended, comes with 1400mm x 2no rails but worth buying the 800mm to.

I have recently purchased the Festool 1400 router. I find this router very versatile and can be used with the rails to create accurate grooves and rebates when I am making cabinets. The dust extraction is superb even when cutting MDF which notoriously gets everywhere. From cutting but and scribes to putting mouldings on timber this router is all you need.

A brilliant range of tools that are well made and a company that listens to and acts on input received from the trades that actually use them.
With tools we use from the grinder to the plunge saw, sanders and domino it’s easy to keep it all accurate and repeatable results.
The extractor we use copes with all uses very well.

One small criticism, they take a long time to come out with their new innovations after receiving the feedback, they can be late to the market with some much needed improvements.

My trusty Festool CTL 33 LE SG extractor has done many hours of work used in an automotive workshop. When it would not run after fours years of daily use. I found the motor brushes were worn down. I was able to buy a set for £10. I found that the unit was very well built with maintenance in mind. The brushes were very easy to change and the extractor continues to provide reliable service.
The ability to manually clean the filters on the fly without having to remove them is real time saver ( we deal with a lot of fine dust which can block filters quickly on any make of extractor) . The bags self seal and are easy to change. The consumables could be cheaper ( filters & dust bags) but what price due out on keeping your lungs dust free.

I use Domino's on 98% of my joints, I used ofk 700 EQ, the conturo, the TS 55eq, the CTL extract..the list goes on, just a great company.

Absolutely amazing tools, they really excel at what they do, the plunge saw is by far the best on the market, although they are expensive, but you get what pay for

Obviously they have a fantastic brand of tools. I feel they are a bit pricey. I have Makita and Elu Tools as well, to be honest, they do the same job comfortably.

I’ve got a pile of Festool, 4 sanders 2 routers 2planers 2 plunge saws blah blah blah. Not showing off just letting you know I’ve got plenty experience of them. They are brilliant, their customer service is excellent but you are paying a premium for that level. Accessories and consumables are pricey too.
Where they stand out is in their innovation, they have products no one else does like the insulation saw (I’ve just bought one but not used it yet) or the domino (got one very good when needed but I don’t use it that much)
If you’re doing high quality finishing work, kitchens or bar fitting etc there isn’t a better saw than the ks120

The festool kit is very expensive, I have had the rail saw for a number of years it’s a good saw it’s had a tonne of use and it’s justified the mo ey spent on it. The replacement blades are a ridiculous price and I use a different brand. I also had the jigsaw, it pretty mich disintegrated over about 3 years. It was certainly no better than any other jigsaw I’ve owned and a lot more expensive

So Festool, you get what you pay for!

I have way too much festool, I feel I might need addiction treatment!

I suppose that speaks for itself, love the Systainers & Sortainers for the van, great for organisation and super easy to transport on to site, great to sit and stand on too.

Slow customer service lets them down sadly.

Only ever used festool products that I have borrowed from friends as I’m not ready to stretch to the extra cost to replace all my tools. In my opinion they are a class above all other power tools and give an excellent finish. Well designed and well built. Very pricey but worth the money for a real professional in his/her trade

It’s Festool, what else do I need to say. There quality all there products. I love the Systainers they make my van racking so easy and keep it organised. The after care on the power tools is exceptional always go the extra mile. And every product I’ve owned feels like a top quality product. They have a huge range, although it is abit pricey but they are investments into make your life easier so deffo worth it just make sure you don’t keep it in your van over night.

What's everyone opinion on Festool. I've got a load of DeWalt and can't complain but thinking about upgrading. Is it worth it?

Answered on 19th March 2021 by Block Creations

Really depends on what you're planning to up grade and why.

Answered on 19th March 2021 by David Christie Joinery

I am only upgrading to festool when I need to replace done this way a few times if one of my other tools is not broke not changing festool is quality though

Answered on 21st March 2021 by DAJ

Festool are great and so are dewalt,
Your question is a little vague, so, as a company we have both I’ll give you a little of what I know.

Festool have a really good range of very well made wood working tools. The plunge saw and tracks we cannot fault at all, we use them all the time with various projects.
As well as the domino is a marvel to use and you wonder how you ever got along without it.
The double bevel chop saw has great visibility, an inline handle and feels fantastic in use.

The drills, quadrive specifically is a brilliant bit of kit, heavy but very precise, adjustable 4 step gearing will drive home a 10mm thunderbolt into 8’ gate post with little complaint, just watch your wrists.

The extractor is fantastic, great consistency and dust management. The newer generations are better still.
Paired with the rotex sander you can put a mirror finish on whatever you like.

As for the rest, grinder, sds, multi tool, jigsaw, are all very comparable to dewalt, and in some instances are inferior to the black and yellow. The festool sds is seriously lacking.

Festool you’ll want in your workshop, cabinet making or top end kitchens of fine finishing. But doing a barn install in a muddy field I’m more comfortable dropping the dewalt in the mud and not worrying about effecting it in any way.
Both tools have places and will earn you more money than you spend on them.

Are these tools worth the prices for somebody who’s not a professional and using the tools every day?

Answered on 29th October 2020 by John Carne

Absolutely not.

Answered on 2nd November 2020 by Green Leaf Electrical Services

Deffo not

Answered on 3rd November 2020 by Ryan B

No, there made for professionals if you have u limited budget and price is not a problem you won’t go wrong with festool

Answered on 25th January 2021 by Ponics

Brands can be defined as ‘being for a DIY’er’ and ‘being for a professional’. Cost and build quality determine. I use a mixture of both. If it’s a tool I will use regularly (daily) and need accuracy, longevity and power then I buy a professional brand and (mostly) get what I pay for. There are some tools I only need occasionally, in that instance I do buy (or at least consider) the lower priced tools and have been pleasantly surprised.

Answered on 27th January 2021 by Watt Heating and Plumbing

Personally it’s down to usage and precision

Answered on 31st January 2021 by Reactive Co.

I personally would not buy Festool if I wasn’t going to be using them daily.

Answered on 5th February 2021 by Jj Construction

I would say it depends on what tools you are looking for on paper there are a lot of dust extractors but the best I have found is Festool the lines of Festool and maffel are a world apart from most I would alway recommend buying the best you can afford it will last you a good amount of time many would say you don’t need to spend the money but try a miter a bit of oak with a £20 odd saw from b&q and compare it to a kapex and you will know

Answered on 5th February 2021 by Salop Gas Heating And Plumbing

A big NO overpriced and not as good as they say

Answered on 5th February 2021 by MAHL Interiors

Not for personal use.
I use daily for my trade and is worth the investment. There are cheaper equally decent products out there that will do exactly the same job.

Answered on 10th February 2021 by David Christie Joinery

Just got a kapex mitre saw and I have to say it's well worth the extra

Answered on 10th February 2021 by L T Franklin property services

They are amazing tools but pricey. They are overpriced for Diy or non professional use. They are even a bit rich for a large number of the professionals


Asked on 15th February 2019 by Edwards

Would you consider a trade in service? Selling/buying used tools is a minefield with the amount of tool theft, maybe manufactures could partially help the issue with a trade in scheme for newer models and donate to charities or resell them as verified ownership tools?

Answered on 26th September 2020 by J M Moffat Carpentry

Great idea. I just lost £1200 pounds of tools and I was only working about six meters away. I thought these two blokes in what looked like a uniform and a smart van were collecting. They were, tools from my van. I was gutted as some were with me from man and boy. Simply Business were excellent, I got paid out in a week. Better then the police, they never turned to view the CCTV which was above my van when they said they would.


Asked on 15th February 2019 by Martindale Windows and Developments Ltd

Also are you planning on exhibiting at tool fair this year? And do you have plans to extend warranties as they seem short?

This question does not have any answers, do you want to leave an answer?


Asked on 15th February 2019 by Martindale Windows and Developments Ltd

Do you have any new tool ranges coming out soon and if so, what? What’s the next phased plan for amp age for battery tools what do we have to look forward to in that sector?
