I’m genuinely curious as to the reason why Festool is making such a huge push towards offering most of their new releases as cordless tools. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t imagine backsliding to a corded drill or driver. However, one of the main reasons I’ve been so drawn to the Festool system is their focus on dust management in conjunction with their dust extractors. So if the tools I’m using are going to be connected to a hose for dust removal anyways, why does it matter if I’m using a tool which is cordless? If the intent is to remove the need for a cord, wouldn’t it make more sense to incorporate power delivery into the hose itself?
