Wanted Single Festool connectors for son’s school A-Level project

[sammy.se]

Hi all
My son is working on his Product Design A-Level project, which is about a desk for student accommodation that can be flat packed and reassembled multiple times

He would like to analyse the mechanical festool connectors (up to 10mm) and only needs one of each. I can’t seem to buy them individually.

Would someone here mind sending me one and I will pay for the single item price and the postage?

Many thanks
Sammy

Your description of "mechanical festool connectors" is open to a lot of interpretation.

Please go here and say which ones he is interested in:

Hi

Thanks, this corner connection is the priority:

But if any of the others below are available too that would be great!

@petermillard I wonder if you can help with this?
I can either buy them or ‘rent’ them

Long shot, I know, but perhaps if your son wrote to Festool UK on school headed email paper, explaining his project (and buttering them up a bit by saying he had researched various connectors and the Festering ones are the best), they might donate to his studies.

Good idea! Not sure if it will take too long, but worth a shot!!

If they don't, let me know, happy to post you one of these, and I'll throw in the instruction pamphlet as well:

Problem inherent to all reuseable knock down fixings is they eventually become sloppy.

Thanks HOJ! Can I please take you up on that offer? He would rather save the time, then writing etc.

I will message you so we can sort out payment and postage etc. Thank you!!

Hey Sammy. Apologies - head down and grafting all day. I can take a look tomorrow when I’m in the workshop and see what I have - you’re welcome to anything that’s useful! Were there any other connectors he was interested in?

I would be surprised if Festool wouldn`t send you a couple out as samples if you gave them a call.
They sent me a couple ages ago and I didn`t ask them, just a promo I guess.

Even if he can get them elsewhere, a letter to Festool requesting samples would be pretty good addition to the project.
