Is Festool Going to do another 20% Promo

[Scott Coffelt]

My wife wanted to know what I wanted for Xmas and I said a new vac. I am leaning towards the mini Fein. It is $150, does not have the auto-start feature and is slightly louder (specs) and less CFm then the Festool. The mini Festool is $250, has auto-start, etc. If they had a sale coming up where you could get the 20% off your first order, I probably could get the wife to spend the extra $50 and go that route. Otherwise, the Fein will be in my shop. So, does anyone know if they will be doing that promo again within the next month or so?

I do not believe that Festool will be running a 20% of sale in the next month or so. I took advantage of the last one, and recall being told that they will run that promo only every 6 months or so. I believe they have some other promos going, now where you can get a free Sony CD player if you buy one tool, a Motorola two way radio with two tools, etc. Hope that helps.

Hi Scott,

Festool's current promo (ends November 30) gives you a 15% discount on the tools if you purchase two or more tools. There is also a "Holiday Special" - free electronic gifts, depending on the number of tools purchased.
The new promos won't be listed until the current one expires, but I am quite sure the previous across the board 20% promo won't be repeated for a while.

I can attest that Scott does not have a single Festool. I think you should hook him up, you might end up with a customer for life.

I have to think small as the Xmas funds are primarily going to the kids. I have small budget for me and the wife, so I can't take advantage of the 15% on two or more. I was hoping to get the small vac now and when funds are available expand. I'll think about it, but $250 is too much right now. Might choose to wait awhile instead.

Scott, I don't have any experience with the Festool Vacs, but I have a Fein Turbo II and am very pleased with it. So pleased that I may buy another one.

Scott, I like my Turbo II very much, and in fact will possibly buy a Mini Turbo for use around the house. Kitchen and laundry room come to mind as a great place to have one.

Hi Scott,

as for the promos, I don't know but Bob gave you all the information you need. I think you won't regret spending the $$$ on the Festool vacs. You won't even regret spending much more on more Festool stuff :cool:
I'm very pleased with my Festool CT 22 vac.
You might like to check out some reviews of the Festool vacs:
