I think it is the green lettering, and also the green fiddly bits on tools.

Ah, but you know it makes sense, Rodney.

Worth paying that little extra for the quality. Its a well known fact that Festool millimetres and centimetres are so much more accurate and consistent compared to other manufacturers. They go through a rigorous quality assessment process that rejects many of them as they are not up to standard. You know it makes sense ....

My Festool windscreen ice scraper is by far the best ice scraper I have ever owned, fast, accurate, ergonomic and totally dust free........
