Looks like this deal is back, except this time with a $40 price increase. And just in time for Father's Day!

At least they're still including the $50 voucher.

If you missed your chance before when it was $99, you've got another chance now! And this is still a great deal on a very nice finishing sander.

AND you can get 10% off a Festool vacuum or MFT table if you combine the purchase with one of these sanders.

For a limited time, order the Festool PRO 5 sander for only $139 and receive a $50 voucher toward your next Festool power tool purchase. The voucher will be included in the Systainer with your sander. Also, receive the PRO 5 sander in a special edition blue Systainer. This is a brand new unused sander, full warranty.
This is an updated/upgraded ETS 125 REQ RO sander with the following improvements:
  • More powerful 250W motor to improve material removal rates up to 25%
  • Included pad protector for sanding up close to adjacent surfaces
  • Bayonet-style locking dust port and optional reuseable dust bag
  • Improved ergonomics with reduced vibration and soft grip
  • The sanding performance and dust collection you expect from Festool

So I know Festool is a well-established company and all, but I can't help but read their brand name as a vaguely reminiscent Chinese knock-off brand and also as "Festering Stool"...

I got in on the $99 version of this deal and it ended up costing over $2K...and counting. This stuff has re-lit the fire for me in the woodworking hobby.

in for 3! (and i already have one!)
I had one. I ended up selling it though after I got the ETS EC 150/3. Just didnt see the point in keeping the Pro 5. Then I discovered the ETS EC 125/3 can use the ETS EC 150 pads but the ETS EC 150 can not use the ETS EC 125 pads. Now I kinda wish I would have gone with the ETS EC 125/3 to have the best of both sizes.

I also ordered one of these in October when they were $99. Didn't actually get it until the end of April. Ended up being more than 6 months.

Be advised. You're NOT actually buying this tool directly from Festool. Festool products.com is owned by a company called The Tool Nut. My experience with their Customer Service was horrible. I ended up with a sander that had been opened, much of the original packaging removed, and scuff marks on what was supposed to be a brand new tool. I complained to them and never heard a single thing back. I like Festool Tools, but would never ever buy through this website/company again and think it's misleading that Festool let's them get away with this.

I ordered one and itll be here Friday. Tool Nut is the only one that has any stock of these left. Kinda the only game it in town. Theyll ship them out on time this time around as they arent taking re-orders. FWIW Ive spent thousands through FestoolProducts.com / ToolNut.com and theyve always taken great care of me even when there were minor issues.
