I'm nearly 20 years into my second choice of brand (Festool). I have so many none of them get hammered but I have no regrets, they've been very reliable on the whole.
If I had to criticise them (aside from price) they are overbuilt and heavy because of it.
I am an amateur at best but I go Festool when I can afford it. The quality is ace and there are so many useful accessories etc that they make the little time I have to do stuff to the house a joy / quicker.
