The reasoning I paid such an amount for the item I hear you ask...

Well...upon working around the corner from where I live I have had to tell a fair few pestering polish 'metalmen' to sod off from my skip and leave me be !

I left my wickes wet and dry stashed behind said skip where I nipped to the shop to get a few items to keep me lubricated from the sweaty heat beaming down upon me ! 30C it was I say !

So I came back to the house with some cold, cold water and lollies...to find the motor of the hoover gone !

Oh well, its the first time I have had anything nicked down here so I thought it was the right time to buy a new one as this thing was booling dust out of every crevice once sucked up.
So I dithered and dathered and almost pressed the 'add to basket' button...but I could not do it.

Off I went to work the next day to find my wicked wet and dry upturned in the skip...LESS ITS WHEELS !! hahaha

I could not believe nor stop laughing at what had happened...to cut a long story short I came back the next day to find the metal pegs that were left by the wheel lighteners removed too !!!

That confirmed my add to basket press and shortly she arrived !

My festool midi !!!

She purrs like a kitten and I am looking forward to purchasing some tools to attach to her as I am currently being taught to fit kitchens now. I've had my fill with backsplashes and what not.
ITS TIME TO LEARN !

wow, all reviews are positive !

I did think about paying less when it came to the crunch yet one feature I do like is the fact you can stick a power tool into the plug on the CT and it turns on and off automatically. Also the fact it has a hose store ! very well thought out bit of kit !
