Hose Caddy for Festool Dust Extractors

Hose holder for all full size Festool dust extractors: CT 26, CT 36, CT 48.

After years of having dust extractor hoses draped over the machine, or on the floor or workbench, we decided to design and manufacture a solution in the form of a hose caddy for the larger Festool dust extractors.

This hose holder makes coiling up the suction hose and tool cords quick and convenient for short term storage or moving about the workshop. The CT's inbuilt hose garage is great for long term storage or transport, but we use our CT 26 every day and needed something more convenient. In our usage pattern, the dust collectors live under the benches but are moving around the shop in constant use. Dealing with the hose in this context is a real inconvenience.

This accessory is made of heavy gauge aluminum about 3mm (1/8") thick, making it very robust. It sits firmly captive on top of a full size CT dust extractor without any modifications, screws or bolts. However, it must be used in conjunction with a Systainer (SYS 3 or T-Loc, the classic Systainer will not work)

Extra features: The cutout on the front is designed to park D125 and D150 sanders like Festool's ETS EC 150 and Rotex RO 150 FEQ. It can easily manage the weight of the heavy Rotex 150. If you like, the hose end can be parked in either of the bores on the front of the caddy.
