Perhaps they're trying to capture some of that Festool mystique?

Amazon has been know to play games with pricing - but that's a bit
extreme even for them.

Some think insurance costs are not REALLY going up that much, that the
recent announcements of 40% or so increases were but a ploy by the insurance
companies to influence the impending legislation.

Well, I've heard of marking something up so that the price looks better
when it's on sale, but that's ridiculous.

I'm adamantly opposed to the political bullshit bandied about in this
woodworking group but I'll break rank one time and say that anyone who
saw the Oversight subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee
hearings yesterday got a birdseye view of just how broken our system
is.
Wonder what today will bring.

I bought the exact adapter for about $6 two weeks ago from Woodcraft in
Houston, the south west Houston store. If you want to cal and order from
them. You have to make sure to order the Fein adapter.
That particular adapter works great for attaching a Festool vac to the Kreg
dust port on the pocket hole jig.

I guess that price qualifies it for being "a royal hosing", wot?
