Festool vs Cheap tool: Tracksaw Part 1 #071

Hi everyone. A slightly different video for you this week, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, to pitch a couple of tools with wildly different prices that essentially do the same job, and see what the differences are. Now a comparison like this may well be unfair, but it is relevant and while I’m no stranger to the Festool brand, I’m also perfectly happy to use a cheaper tool for the same task if it does a decent job.

I’m starting this series with the plunge saw, as it's a tool that’s often the ’gateway drug’ into the Festool system, and for many, myself included, it was the first step on a slippery slope that has you eyeing up their other offerings. But it's also a class of tool that has had some serious price competition of late, especially from far east manufacturers, and own-brands.

In this video I’m comparing my new Festool TS55R (~£380) to an own-brand Titan TTB673CSW tracksaw (~£95); what do you get for your money, and what do you miss out on by buying the cheaper option. Enjoy!
