unless festool is taken over by black and decker like dewalt and elu
then the quality will be unmatched for a good few years
my guess is my 1400 and 1010 will still be good (but old fashioned looking) and still doing their job in 15 years time

i could definately win on a balancing a bathroom door with readed glass against the wall to get a plane, and a sudden gust blowing into the garden, and smashing the glass which is no longer available as a safety glass.  had to replace whole door. mind you got to fit one of those nice american door handles which locks without a key. paul |

I don't know about that Colin, I reckon I would do fairly well. ;DA new catagory so JFC gets a medal could be running across your workshop in high heels with all your spindle cutters in your handbag. Senior I do believe you would give me a good run for my money |

Oooh, my favourite game! My variant is more fun though and I call it "WHERE'S my F*CKING <insert tool needed NOW>. It involves swearing at everyone else in the room for moving said tool until I realise it is in fact behind my ear/in my pocket/in my toolbox/exactly where I left it. ;D |

First time I remember my dad making me laugh and the first time I heard him swear.
"Where's my pencil ? "
" behind your ear dad"
"Don't F*** about son, which ear"

an answer for paul chapman, actually quite a clever american gadget. it only locks inside when you are in the room, so whilst you are doing your business, you can be happy that you are secure, and others cannot come in suddenly, but when you want to leave, it will open.  you cannot lock it from the outside. sadly not sure the brand is available here. must check the name, and let you know. paul |

Or you could just fit a 3 lever mortice dead lock and not chop the keyhole out on the outside .

625 all day long for me . ........ and dare i say the rest of the trade ? I quite agree. Although, my Elus are still full of life. I stick with them until they finally die. Which shouldn't be for a while, as I have them serviced regularly. Which is a good idea yes? Stay Lucky John  |

It involves swearing at everyone else in the room for moving said tool until I realise it is in fact behind my ear/in my pocket/in my toolbox/exactly where I left it. ;D When you think about it, any tool you use is always to be found where you left it. (Unless someone really has moved it, or you unknowingly knocked it off your bench; when it fell into a dark, inaccessible place; lost until the next ten yearly, Spring clean!) Just like something you are looking for, is always in the last place you look! Logic. I think! Just being my usual, pedantic self. Sorry folks! ;D John |

I call it a 'door-bolt'. ;D It's manually operated, but it does the same job for pence! John |

Amazing in't it the old balancing trick, spend a week making something and then you are prepared to leave it balancing to get something to save 10 seconds. ROTFLMAO! Cracking reply!  John |
