Why this grade
Festool sells spare parts directly to end users (festoolusa.com spare-parts e-shop), provides an online parts catalog (EKAT) and exploded diagrams with each tool, and guarantees spare-parts availability for at least 10 years after discontinuation. No software locks. Repair-friendliness is dragged down because Festool steers all repairs to authorized service centers and states that unauthorized repair attempts void guarantee/warranty; OEM pricing is the weakest dimension given premium European manufacturing and original-parts-only policy (track saws ~$700-800 vs ~$400-500 competitors).
