Festool TSC 55 KEB - Unboxing & First Impressions

In this video I'll show you what comes with the TSC 55 KEB (aka TSC 55 K, TSC 55 KEBI) cordless track saw from Festool. I'm excited to have it in the shop and look forward to learning more about this refined too, and comparing it to my current DeWALT 60V cordless track saw.

Let me know what you'd like me to cover in future videos on this saw and my transition to the Festool system.

I really appreciate the simple nature of the unboxing. I’ve watched lots of reviews on the saw but this was the first time I’ve seen the live pairing and activation of the Bluetooth system. I’m about to add this to my workshop and am now even more excited to get it connected up to my CT MIDI. Nicely done!

Nice saw! Looking forward to seeing more videos about it. Thanks

Had mine six months now and it’s awesome. Things seem to get better when using it. Overall it’s a dream using this machine over the dewalt. Although saying that the dewalt I had wasn’t a bad saw at all.

Just ordered mine, super excited about it! I already have 2 Festool tracks, the quick clamps, the push clamp and more. Not happy about it being my 2nd battery platform, but I think it will be fine. The compromise is worth the experience.

Great saw. I have this and love it. Lots of power. Convenient with batteries. Have dudt bag which collect s LOT of dust. 👍

Nice review. It's a high quality tool. I love mine!

Really cool can’t wait for the Dewalt festival comparison

Congrats! You'll love the saw. I went for the corded ts 55 feq; it uses the same blades as the cordless, which makes a huge difference. Two things I highly recommend you add are the 800mm/32" track and a pair of track clamps, be it festool, bessey or off brand. I use the bessey ratchet clamps; they're a bit cheaper than the festool clamps and have a slightly better clamp release (no gap to pinch your fingers). Like I said, the od1010 will be my next festool purchase, but I haven't fully decided if I want to splurge on the LR32 system.
Looking forward to more videos!

The only thing you might miss from the DeWalt is the DW will run two directions on its track. Other than that your choice is a no brainer !

[checkavilatility]

I have both and I prefer the DeWalt, by far. It has a lot more power and it's just as accurate.

Get the remote for the end of the hose... you'll wonder what the bluetooth button on the remote could ever be for... first time you pair your saw from 10' away, make a cut, then disconnect the hose and turn it on to clean up around your cut you'll not be able to grin and wonder how you survived without the (expensive) accessory.

What battery are you using in ur fest tool

I don’t whether to buy a fest tool track saw or Milwaukee cuz I use Milwaukee

[AnthonyFloresCPA]

Where did you buy yours from? The aren’t in stock anywhere I’ve looked.

[glennryzebol]

Lmao!! "I was fondling it last night!" New tools is always fun. I always refer to Festool as a Ferarri compared to a regular decent car. Congrats on your new Ferarri. I don`t really understand the big deal about the systainers given thier price. Just seems like an overpriced plastic box to me. What am i missing?
