Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty on Festool tools?
Most new tools are covered by 3 years of Service All-Inclusive (defects, wear-and-tear coverage as specified by Festool) when registered with Festool. Reconditioned (“Reconditioned Tools”) generally carry 1-year coverage. Always confirm current terms on Festool’s official site before purchase.
What makes the Festool Domino different from other joiners?
The Domino system cuts true loose tenon mortises—delivering higher strength and better alignment than typical plate/biscuit joiners, especially on thicker stock and structural assemblies.
Is there a satisfaction guarantee?
Festool’s 30-day money-back guarantee (sometimes called “Try Before You Buy”) allows returns within 30 days via the original dealer, subject to proof of purchase and like-new condition with packaging and accessories.
Do I need a Festool dust extractor with every tool?
While not always required, source-capture extraction is recommended for best surface quality, reduced rework, and compliance with many shop/jobsite dust standards.
Are accessories cross-compatible?
Many pads, abrasives, rails, and Systainers are system-wide; always verify model-specific compatibility in each product listing.
