This just might be another rant.... but...
Dead horse, maybe, but it seems as though Festool increases their prices on a yearly basis.
What gives? I have been receiving a lot of emails. regarding Festool increasing their prices, again.
I understand, to some degree, but instead of making 10%+ (I am just throwing a number out there) profit every year, why not keep the prices where they are at..(at least for a few years) and make 8% profit, etc.?
I've never used their tools, but would like their Domino 500. In a few days, it will go up another $50. Maybe next year it will do the same... and the following year, etc.
I get the not outsourcing to China/Taiwan, etc., cost of material increase, labor increase.. oh, and maybe "covid".. but c'mon.
Pretty soon the 500 will be the same price as their currently priced $1,525 DF 700.
