over the years I have run 9.6 Stick Mak's 12 then 14V Mak
15.6 Panisonic
now i use 10.8 Mak drill/impact combo 90% and an 18 DW DC 988 for larger drilling.
Festool is a Cult. Their products are Superior in 1) Inovation 2)Design 3)Execution. The corded tools work as a SYSTEM and are more productive because of it. It is this Very reason that I have Moved to DW for cordless the usefulness of the DW Cordless System is Very like the Festool Corded (everythig works together)
Back on task Is the 15 lion Festool better Quanitativly yes. Is it worth the extra $$$$ for me NO.
Festool really pushes the buyer to try it for 30 days and return it if the buyer has any misgivings (I know the return policy is 90 for Mil and DW and also 30 for Mak, but this is an actual post from the president of Festool USA
" It is Shane or me walking into Brian's training room with the camera, filming what he does, and then putting it on Youtube. You might notice that most of the videos are not edited.
Holzhacker, don't trust the video. Try the tool and see if it works for you. If not, return it.

Oh and post the Results
