Festool Junkie Blog

There are, on many occasions, that I only need a small amount of paper to get a respective project done. Being a dealer, I have the privilege to grab whatever it is that I may need. However, as a consumer, I would imagine that there are times when a hobbyist, contractor or woodworker, would like to acquire just enough paper to get a job done. Mixing and matching Festool Abrasives (Rubin, Crystal, Brilliant 2, Titan II, Vlies, Platin, or Saphir), and several of each grit to complete a sanding cycle, with very little, if any left over.

Here is my question: What type of “job packs” would you all be interested in?

For example, for my floor installers: I make up “Stair Packages” A 10 Red Oak Stairtread job pack includes: 10 Rubin 50Grit, 10 Rubin 80Grit, 10 Rubin 120Grit, and 10 Rubin 180Grit.

What other ideas do you all have?

My fellow dudes and dude ranchers:

Festool tools and accessories are the finest made “hand power tools” made in the world. Here at www.festooljunkie.com we are committed to providing these tools in a welcoming and rather “loose” environment. We use these tools everyday in our own shop, and once a person gets their hands around one of these sexy dark blue and green tools, the slippery slope of acquisition is thus engaged.

Many Festool owners indeed become Festool Junkies. By definition, a Junkie or Junky is; One who has an insatiable interest or devotion! Hence, A Festool Junkie

There are many indicators of a Festool Junkie! To kick-off this blog, What are some of the tell-tale signs that a person is indeed a Festool Junkie.

Please allow me to start with my own compulsion.

I knew that I had become a Festool Junkie when I named my new, Rotex RO 150 FEQ, Gertrude. My little German Grandmother’s name was Gertrude (Gert for short), and I thought it only appropriate that I name my “mean” new German sander after Grandma Gert. She was a real pistol and so is this sander.

Great to be here, and I look forward to hearing of your obsessions and musing toward Festool products.

Tell me what makes you a Festool Junkie!
