Bought all my Mafell through Tobias, at:
www.elektrowerkzeug-shop.de/shop.php?SessID=85cd8ff790d3870bcc8cdd493c5dc6e5
Great service.
Likewise for where I am at in the outback...
However "dictum" is in some ways better:
- website saves in the cart a long time
- no GST
- USD, Euros, etc.
not as good in the following ways:
- you get a different person on the on one every time
- anything complicated is unworkable
So for things like jig saw blades, hole saws, etc etc etc, then dictum is a nice option.
Tobias is great for email and phone calls and getting things sorted out.
The other thing to consider is GST and duty, and I think that the laws are changing soon.
So something under <1k(Au)$ (including shipping) then there was no GST nor duty... So financially one is better off getting the saw from one, and things like blades from the other. A big order that saves on shipping gets the +10% * 10% for the GST and Duty, so that is more than the 50 Euro (80$Au) shipping for the second order through a difference source.
But it seems one has to have some seriously higher standards than I have to be disappointed in these tools.
the lamello Zeta is also available from Europe...
The Mrs and I are headed to the big smoke soon for a week (including a few days down in the Mornington)... If there is a chin-wag session, I can bring some beer...
