nope but a 10 quid gas stove will :)

why is that?

@@mountainbearoutdoors Hi. I have a video on my channel named: Advice worth a 1000 Euro/Dollars... dedicated to inverter generators an what users MUST NOT do - not to damage them. Have a look please. I did explain i detail everything there. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Hello. Yes they are.

Hello. The generator is designed for leisure use, so it's not suitable for continuous daily use or for use as a power supply for off-grid houses. Leisure use means that it's suitable for leisure activities where you require a power source for small appliances, e.g. charging your phone when camping or powering your TV when caravanning. If you're going to be living off-grid in your motorhome and using it continuously every day, then it's not suitable for this. You'll need a more powerful generator that's designed for off-grid living.

It won't last long when working in such a regime. Get solar panels with a decent power station, and the generator could be backup for periods of bad weather during winter, so it wouldn't work all the time.

Would this be okay for operating tools like a circular saw or portable table saw at my allotment?

@@peterc2248 Hi Peter. The generator has 1600W continuous output, so as long as the tool's wattage is under this then it should be okay. You'll need to be careful with the tool's start-up load though, as the generator has 2000W max. output, so the tool's start-up load can't exceed this. We wouldn't recommend using a table saw, as they have a high start-up load.

@@KelvinPowerTools Thanks for that. I can probably get away with using my circular saw but I'll check the spec for the wattage - cheers

Hello. You can email our workshop at [email protected] for any service/repair enquiries.

Hi Craig. It sounds like the fan is bent, which can happen if you disassemble your nailer and then reassemble it. If you disassemble your nailer again, you should be able to straighten the fan out.

Hi Dan. Legally you need to use 110V tools on site, so you'd need to use a transformer with the Power Station. Cordless tools are more popular than corded tools now. The main difference between them is the power cable. If you work on site a lot then cordless tools are more convenient as you don't need a mains power source to use them.

Hi Scott all 6 batteries charges one at a time to 80%, once all 6 batteries are charged to 80% then each one proceeds to charge to 100%. Its stops at 80% as it takes longer to charge the Bosch 18V battery cells that last 20%. For example, a Bosch 5Ah will take only 28mins to charge to 80% then takes a further 19 mins to complete the last 20%. Its the way their fast charging technology works for their batteries. The 80% feature is a get out of jail for users that have completely ran out of charge and want to start using their Bosch 18V tools quickly. Its difficult to summarise this in a 15 second video, thanks for your comment, hope this helped. Kelvin Power Tools 🤙

Yes it has a quick-acting brake that stops the blade in seconds 👍🏼

Hello. Festool advise that it should last for a full working day, but it really depends on what machine you're powering and the application. E.g. It can continuously power the Syslite Duo work light for over 16 hours, however if you're powering a mitre saw to continuously cut thick timber then the runtime won't be as long. You can see a list of different machine/application runtimes on our product page here: www.kelvinpowertools.com/festool-sys-pst-powerstation-c-117-p-37068

No, the saws are compatible with different blade ranges. Festool have released a new thinner blade range for the new TS 55 F model for faster cutting 👍🏼

Hi James. I asked our Festool rep to confirm and he replied the following: "When we did studies in Europe, we found that the tradesmen only used half the power for their working day, so we actually think they will get 1400 charges of the Power Station. 700 charges equates to around three and a half years, so 1400 charges equates to double that. On an 18V battery the average number of charges is 400."

Hi at 700 usable charges, that's £4.71 per charge. seems a bit steep to me. that's coming from a festool fanboy

Yes you can

He's wrong. Totally wrong. Very common that site guys (and nearly all trades) believe this. Honestly, it's not worth the argument. I've tried to explain to sites why they've got their facts wrong on 110v and 230v. Nobody is prepared to risk it. Even had a site manager agree with me that I was correct and 230v is allowed (under the correct set up), but still wouldn't allow it. HSE laws *do not* ban 230v. HSE advise 110v are "preferable". Do they even know how and why 110v is considered "safer"? Not in my experience (centre tap is 55v, just below level of being able to shock). p.s. Have you really got one of these?

@@johnathanwilko2922 nothing to do with hse pal. Its the rules that the site developers set themselves in line with their insurances. Ps. your experience counts for nothing because you dont set the rules. You follow them.

@@RiotDarkside Everything to do with HSE buddy. Insurers think their following HSE rules. Have you seen a copy of their insurance policy? Or you just think that's what the situation must be? My experience is that facts say no legal reason to stop 230v on-site. It's the site manager who hasn't got a clue and tells people like you "it's the insurance". Show me a copy of the insurance terms. Ask them how they run 230v to the 110v. Must be using a lead. My experience also tells me that you haven't got a Festool SysPower. Have you? Go on pal. Admit you haven't got one.

@@johnathanwilko2922 I won't be drawn in my friend.

@@RiotDarkside drawn in to what? Not knowing why 110v is insisted upon? Your insurance policy belief? Your BS about owning a Festool SysPower? Which one won't you be drawn in on? All? p.s. I like your little BS story about not being allowed to use your Festool SysPower (which you don't own). Was a great way to tell the world you own one (which you don't). Made me smile. When people get caught BS'ing, funny how they always say "won't get drawn in". Because you've been busted fella and can't BS your way out with me.

Hi Dan. It's £164.99 ex.VAT, so £197.99 inc.VAT. You can find it on our website here: www.kelvinpowertools.com/festool-toprock-bluetooth-speaker-systainer-c-112-p-36880

Hi Mal. The Power Station is like any electrical tool. Festool recommend that you get it serviced on a yearly basis. In order to keep your warranty valid, the service must be conducted by Festool's own engineers.

Hi Gary. This could be due to a number of reasons: - The 2 return springs on the guides could be worn or broken. When you take these off, they should be equal lengths when they're laid out together and have no broken spirals or kinks. - The 'bolt' or driver blade should be inspected for signs of grooves where the motor runs on it. This can cause slipping and leave the driver blade out or not returning. - Other than that, all parts should be checked for wear and tear as it’s a dry mechanical gearbox and parts do wear out. If you'd like our workshop to take a look at it then you can book a free UK collection here: www.kelvinpowertools.com/paslode-repairs-t-59

@@KelvinPowerTools Thank for your quick reply Kev, I will check those things.

What did they do?

@@thecapt8563 they tried to standardize this “finger saver” tech thru consumer safety product commission, in order to make it mandatory for all other table saw companies. While already having this tech patented (so other brands can’t produce similar stuff). Hence their lots of lawsuits against many other companies, which resulted in their loss because giants like Bosch made sure lawsuits were dropped. But regardless, some other smaller companies had to go bankrupt in the process. cause they couldn’t fight saw stop. Lots of tifferebt disgusting stories, but moral of the story saw stop made a good tech, but also wanted to make everyone else but it from them and use em in their own products.

Hi Harvey. Our Festool rep is asking what are the kilowatt hours of your car?

@@KelvinPowerTools Oh wow, you have jumped the gun. I don't have and electric car yet. I just saw the product and started working out what it could be used for, it is just how my brain works. My thought was that at a push, could the product get enough charge into a stranded electric vehicle to get it to the nearest charge point, a bit like carrying a gallon of fuel in the boot in a normal vehicle.

@@harveysmith100 Our Festool rep said it depends on the kilowatt hours of the car 👍🏼

Easy to work out. This box has maximum of 1,500 watt/hours. That's 1.5kWH Let's say you've got a Tesla with a 75kWh. You'd, in theory, get a charge of 2%. 75kWh gives a range of say 230 miles. So in theory you'd get 4.6 miles. But in real life you'd be lucky to 4 miles and you'd wait 30 mins to empty your Festool into the Tesla. If you wanted 50 miles on a Tesla you'd need around 12 Festool Sys Powers and that would cost you £36,000.

Hi Ricki. That's unfortunate! We're glad our video helped 👍🏼

Hi Darren. Yes it comes with a 240v mains power/charger cable.

Hi Hans. No you can't, they aren't compatible.

Hi Andy. The tool is double insulated so it's strange if you're feeling this. It's better to be safe than sorry, so I'd contact the company that you bought it from and see what they say about this.
