    Hi Guys,

    Anyone use Festool Shinex RAP 150? I want to buy it in the near future, and I was thinking to see some thoughts.

    I don't think it is allowed in the U.S. yet. I hear good things about festool, except for the price. People on here complain about the price of a flex 3401, let alone a festool.

    You can buy the Festool Shinex RAP-150 on Amazon for a cool $400.00 U.S. One super nice rotary.

    I have used it, and it is a great machine. It's almost identical to the new flex (since they are both made by the same company). I do prefer the look, ergonomics, and placement of rpm dial on the Festool over the flex. On the other hand the flex is slightly louder and less smooth than the flex. Both are great machines, and it will come down to budget and personal preference.

    That alone is a deal breaker IMO...
