Three years ago ( Feb 08 ) I ordered some tools ( 3 sanders, dust extractor CT33, boom arm accessory and various grit paper) from Festool. All of my projects have required my CT 33 to be mobile. So I never opened the Boom Arm accessory package until last month (Jan 11). While assembling the Boom Arm onto my CT33 I found that an electric extension cord listed on the shipping parts list was missing. After berating myself for not opening all of the boxes upon delivery I decided to send an email to my Festool dealer, a long shot but what the heck. He replied, asking that I send him the part number. All of the numbers I sent in four different emails were wrong. My Festool dealer patiently and politely replied and after four attempts suggested that I fax the parts list. He then replied that the confusion was due to a part number change over the last three years and that he would see what could be done. Well my extension cord arrived today and I want to give credit for OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BOB MARINO. Well done Bob, you make the Festool legend come alive.:)

My experience with Bob has also been very good. He is an excellent person to deal with.

Glad they took care of you. Lesson learned, inspect all shipping materials and contents promptly ;-)

Glad they took care of you. Lesson learned, inspect all shipping materials and contents promptly ;-) YES... I've learned that one the hard way too. Haven't opened things in the past, months went by, and whoops, something wasn't right in the box......

Bob Marino. I have heard that name before and it always seems to be on the possitive side.
Good work.
