Festool enjoys an exemplary reputation as a manufacturer of power tools and woodworking machinery, distinguished by its commitment to manufacturing excellence, seamless system integration, meticulous ergonomics, and a relentless drive for innovation. As an official Festool online retailer, we are proud to offer an extensive selection of products from this esteemed Swabian company in the Sautershop.

Routing, Sawing, Drilling, Sanding

A key focus of our Festool power tool inventory includes the traditional domains of milling, sawing, drilling, and sanding. In the Sautershop, you will discover an array of corresponding tools along with a comprehensive assortment of original accessories and consumables.

Sawing with Festool

Festool’s range extends beyond pendulum action and plunge-cut saws to include jigsaws and reciprocating saws designed for mobile use. Additionally, our inventory features circular table saws and chop saws suitable for stationary and semi-stationary applications in workshops and on construction sites.

Workshop and Organization

The system concept is pivotal to Festool’s product design. Tools and machines are enhanced by an extensive selection of storage and transport solutions (Systainer), mobile extractors, work tables, and guide rails, all accompanied by appropriate accessories.

Festool - A Global Brand from Swabia

Festool’s esteemed reputation as a manufacturer of power tools for woodworking and various other trades is anchored in several factors. Most notably, its corporate philosophy is deeply influenced by the rich tradition of German, and specifically Swabian, mechanical engineering. For nearly a century, engineers and craftsmen – the ‘Swabian tinkerers’ – have collaborated at Festool to continually refine and evolve each product, ensuring it meets both the company’s rigorous internal standards and the exacting demands of its users.

Innovation

Festool's rich history is marked by a relentless pursuit of innovation, yielding numerous milestones in the development of woodworking machinery. The team at Festool dedicates as much attention to minute ergonomic details as it does to groundbreaking developments that often set new industry standards. In the nearly 100 years since its inception, Festool has introduced several pioneering products that have become ubiquitous, though not always recognized as Festool's original creations. These include the portable chain saw (1929), the handheld circular saw (1930), the first orbital sander with an integrated dust extraction system (1938), the RTE slide (1951) — a term still synonymous with orbital sanders today — the guide rail (1962), the first random orbital sander with integrated dust extraction (1976), the Systainer storage and transport solution (1993), the DOMINO system dowel cutter (2006), the circular table saw with SawStop-Aim technology (2020), and most recently, the guide rail with integrated adhesive pads for wall sawing (2021).

This list will undoubtedly continue to grow as the engineers and developers at Festool's headquarters in Wendlingen remain tirelessly innovative.

Manufacturing Quality

Festool's power tools and machines are the top choice for numerous professional users, thanks in large part to their exceptional manufacturing quality. Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in both workshops and on construction sites, Festool products ensure reliability when it matters most. For tradespeople, a malfunctioning machine can result in missed deadlines, financial losses, and diminished customer trust. Festool offers a unique service: if a registered machine is stolen, damages are covered under a free three-year warranty, highlighting Festool's commitment to comprehensive customer service.

Proudly, 80% of Festool’s products are manufactured in Germany, adhering to stringent quality standards, with the remaining 20% produced in the Czech Republic under the same rigorous guidelines. This ensures that both commercial and private users can depend on the durability and reliability of their machines. This commitment to quality is a time-honored tradition within the company; tools bearing the ‘Festo’ name—Festool’s precursor—continue to operate flawlessly even after more than three decades of use. It's no wonder then that Festool enjoys a reputation among international experts that rivals that of prestigious car manufacturers from the Ländle.

Ergonomics, Occupational Safety, and Health Protection

Daily usage subjects power tools and machines to significant wear and tear, which also impacts the user. The better a machine can minimize this strain, the more likely it is that the user will consistently achieve high-quality results. Festool places great emphasis on the ergonomics of its products, continuously optimizing them in their in-house testing workshops. Factors such as the dimensions of the power tools, control placement, material choices, weight, and other considerations are designed with the operator in mind, not merely to meet practical constraints. For example, the distinctive green color of the controls is not just for branding; it enhances visibility and ease of use, ensuring that the tools can be operated quickly and effortlessly.

Occupational health and safety are deeply interconnected with ergonomics. Festool ensures that the ease of operation of its tools does not compromise user health. The company has consistently pioneered industry standards that promote safety, including integrated dust extraction systems in sanders, switch-on locks, kickback protection in circular hand saws, and the SawStop AIM technology in circular table saws, which provides reliable protection against severe cutting injuries.

System Integration

At Festool, compatibility and functionality go hand in hand. A prime example of this is the Systainer system. Systainers not only store power tools but also consumables, and they can double as mobile workstations or centralize power supply and dust extraction at construction sites. They become an integrated system through the ability to connect and combine with each other using T-Loc fasteners, and they are specially designed to attach to the company's own mobile dust extractors and transporters. The mobile vacuum units are compatible with all Festool power tools and machines, meaning that connections are seamless. Additionally, many cordless tools can be equipped with Bluetooth batteries that automatically activate the mobile vacuum cleaner when the tool is used, mirroring the functionality of corded tools.
