I appreciate your viewpoint, P90.
For me, there are obvious and less obnoxious way to make power cords that plug in/out, though. Pigtail cords have been around for a long time. IEC connectors are a thing. I even use figure 8 AC connectors on my power tools which are double-insulated and low amperage. My Bosch jigsaw and corded drill and my Dremels all have a generic AC socket in lieu of a cord, because I re-engineered them that way, and I am apparently not German. I can buy extra cords for $2.50.
"German engineering" dictates a proprietary plug, (but not a ball bearing on the end of the arbor shaft?)... which is not more compact at the connector... seems pretty much the opposite.. Huge plastic monstrosity of a connector, which if it has an improvement over a regular, say, extension cord, I don't see it. Other than for Festool, seeing as they can be the only ones to sell you a new one.
Storage bins may be great. I dunno. Half of what I even do with my "woodworking" is organizing the workshop and tools to my unique space and needs... that's the big project after say a move. And i havent found any longterm use for tupperware, yet. I don't know how many Festool tools you need to own before the proprietary plug and integrated plastic bin german engineering system pays off, but that is a lot of tools.... that is all very iPhoney or Juicero-ey to me. I'm sure iPhone ecosystem is great, too, lol. No offense to iFolks.
