TS 60 K Plunge-Cut Saw
The new TS 60 K Plunge-Cut Saw supports carpenters, woodworkers and remodelers. Features of the saw include:

Combined with FSK cross-cutting guide rails, the TS 60 transforms into a portable compound miter saw system for angle cutting.
- The first corded Festool offering with KickbackStop technology, the TS 60 incorporates functions to reduce kickback, protecting workpieces and reducing the risk of injury.
RENOFIX RG 130 ECI Surface-Restoration Grinder
For remodelers, painters, contractors and construction professionals, the RG 130 Surface-restoration Grinder is designed for the first phase of restoration during construction. The grinder provides virtually dust-free work in combination with a Festool dust extractor. Features of the tool include:
- Equipped with a brushless EC-TEC motor, the RG 130 provides long-lasting power.
- The RG 130 is durable thanks to the gearbox that promotes service life. Coupled with the brushless EC-TEC motor, the RG 130 is capable of a constant high removal capacity.
- In combination with Festool's CT 36 AC HEPA and CT 48 AC HEPA Dust Extractors, the RG 130 ensures a virtually dust-free work environment. Whether working with particularly high volumes of dust or in rooms that remain occupied, the combination creates a clean workplace. The RG 130 can also connect to the dust extractor via Bluetooth for automatic connectivity.
GHS 25 Ear Protection
The GHS 25 helps professional tradespeople stay focused on the job amid the sounds of the site. The GHS 25 offers protection from noise while enabling phone calls or listening to music. Features of the product include:
- With an ANSI-rated noise reduction rating of 25 dB, outside sounds are blocked out. Combined with Bluetooth technology, the GHS 25 serves as a multifunctional device to listen to music or make phone calls.
- Eliminate distracting noise but stay tuned in to the conversations taking place with microphone technology that enables listening to only what's needed. Hear ambient noise with a safe listening volume up to 79 dB and talk to colleagues without removing the earplugs for flexibility.
- When making phone calls, the built-in microphone suppresses background noise during conversations. The GHS 25 features touch control operation directly on the plugs to switch modes. With a battery life of 13 hours, GHS 25 can power the sound of an entire day. Once the day is done, individuals can place them in the charging case for a cordless recharge.
