Festool USA is launching its Cordless Test Drive, a nationwide contest giving tradespeople the opportunity to experience the power and precision of Festool’s cordless lineup while entering for a chance to win more than $50,000 in prizes.  

Festool is partnering with bott and Southland Trailers to deliver a one-of-a-kind prize package that combines mobility, organization, and performance. At the center of the contest is a Southland 7’ x 16’ Royal Cargo trailer, fully outfitted with bott’s trailer shelving system and a complete suite of Festool’s cordless products.  

The Cordless Test Drive spotlights Festool’s latest cordless innovations, including the new TSC 55 KS Track Saw, CSC SYS 50 Table Saw, KSC 60 Miter Saw, and cutting-edge TBX Tabless Battery Technology. Participants who register and review eligible tools will be entered for a chance to win, including cordless tools purchased via Festool’s 30-day risk-free trial program.
