Festool is widely regarded to be one of the best brands for power tools however it's mainly a brand for chippies and joiners, Hilti is the sparks equivalent. Mind you, I have no idea why you'd want to spend the money when you could probably get a Bosch or a Makita that's just as good but for half the price.

By all means though go for the Festool (not that I have any experience with that particular driver) and you'll be envied on site no doubt.

Ive got that saw, the one with the guide rail, brilliant bit of kit . I've now got the little drill mentioned above really small and compact great for putting up dado trunking and light fittings
