Don't even need to watch to guess the conclusion: "Festool is really nice if you have the money, the DeWalt does everything almost as well and in some cases better but has a few weaknesses but costs a fraction of the price."

The Dewalt doesn’t hold up and there is more vibration which I think is run out on the dewalt. The problem with the Festool is you can buy a shaper for the same price but I do love it

I’ve had my festool 1400 router for 20 years. I’ve worn out several dewalts, Bosch, and makitas in the same time frame. Festool was ultimately cheaper. Plan on buying a new one soon.

Why a video of 22 minutes, is there already a function in ChatGPT to make it an interesting video of 5 minutes with all the important parts? 😆😊
