Festool comes from Wendlingen in Germany, traces back to 1925, and built its reputation on dust extraction rather than raw power. The system approach ties together the TS track saws, Domino joiners, CT extractors and Systainer cases that click into a stack, so a whole workshop travels in one trolley. Prices are high: a Domino DF 500 joiner and a TS 55 saw each cost several times a mainstream equivalent, and the brand answers with a three year all inclusive warranty covering wear parts.
Cabinetmakers, joiners and restorers who work inside occupied houses gain the most, because the extractors keep fine dust out of the air. Framing crews and anyone breaking concrete should look at other brands, since there is no rotary hammer range to speak of. The cordless line has grown but remains narrow, and accessories such as guide rails and sanding pads add up quickly.
