    Unhappy The rumour is true

    Yesterday I was in our local Lee Valley store and they were renovating. Rumour was: they were making space to display the Festool product line, as they were about to become a Canadian distributor. I raced home to check out the LV website, and there was no mention of Festool. Today I see the website is redesigned, with its own Festool tab. Rob, did you really need to take more of my money?

    I have a lot of pity for them. I'd be so broke if I could go fondle LV goodies anytime I wanted.
    One purchase helps keep HF in business, the other helps keep LV in business.
     Those two outcomes have different values for me. - Chuck Nickerson

    +1 for that. I'm broke enough as it is just having a local W/C.

    There are three in my city, one 5 minutes from work, one 5 minutes from home.

    Interesting, now I have two festool dealers within a 10min drive of my house. LV, and a local tool dealer. Both Canadian, both good. Decisions....

    I have 2 and drive by both of them once a week.
    And I buy lots for my business so I stop in to one or the other almost every week.

    Brick and mortar Lee Valley - Check
    Brick and mortar Festool - Check

    I can not reveal the third and final phase, but needless to say the first two were the most critical. The plan is coming to fruition. Bwwwaahhhhahahahah!
    Measure twice, cut three times, start over. Repeat as necessary.
