Innovative Solutions for Woodworking
From the very beginning, pioneers Fezer and Stoll set out to ease the burdens of craftspeople. They envisioned a future where you wouldn’t need to drag heavy wood to a fixed machine; instead, the tool would come to you. Their revolutionary machines delivered exactly that—remarkable flexibility and versatility that allowed you to take your equipment wherever it was needed, transforming the way woodworking was done.

The Most Ingenious Storage Solution in the World

The Systainer has completely transformed the realm of craftsmanship. It all began with a simple idea: to design packaging that not only safeguarded the product but could also be reused. This concept evolved into a robust yet adaptable Systainer system, now available in 185 variations and embraced by millions of craftspeople. Today, the Systainer is the definitive benchmark—almost every portable item, from entire transport systems to saws and extractors, features the Systainer format.

18 Volt. The Power of Festool.

In the 1990s, Festool made waves by introducing the first cordless screwdriver to the market, igniting a revolution in portable power. Since then, rapid advancements in battery technology have transformed craftsmanship. Today, Festool’s robust 18-volt system encompasses nearly 50 high-performance tools designed for manual operation, covering a wide spectrum of applications—from sawing and drilling to screwdriving and dust extraction. And with continuous innovation, this ever-expanding portfolio remains at the forefront of professional tool performance.

Effortless power that stands up to any challenge.

Carpenters and timber construction workers often battle unpredictable weather—working on rooftops or at ground level, sometimes without any on-site power. When faced with dense wood and heavy beams, it's crucial to rely on tools that combine uncompromising strength with exceptional resilience. Festool’s rugged machines are precisely engineered for these demanding conditions.

In 2012, Festool introduced its first app, designed to simplify the warranty registration process significantly. Soon after, they expanded their digital offerings with the Order app for purchasing consumables and accessories, as well as the How-To app, which provides valuable practical tips. Then, in 2017, Festool broke new ground with the Work app, enabling users to control their tools digitally—and with software updates, even older tools can be brought up to date. Looking ahead to 2025, all these functions will be integrated into a single app, becoming an essential tool for craftspeople, as indispensable as a yardstick.
