Well, the BO6040 and the Festool are the same type of dual mode polishers. i have both and have decided to go with the BO6040 over the Festool. Nothing wrong with the Festool, but its plastic. The Makita is better built and alot more torque than the Festool. There is no way to bog down the Makita. The Festool is pretty hard to bog too, but does slow down with pressure. The Festool is lighter, has a nicer carrying case, and comes with a detachable power cord.
