I wish that Festool would offer a package for the CT22 - 33 that was inclusive of all the important parts. It should be offered with the handle, the boom arm, the medium sized hose - 36mm?. Too late for me but for new buyers would be a nice package. Just kind of grinds me to have to buy the handle as an accessory even without the boom arm.

Would like to see Festool come up with a way to hold the 50mm hose used for the boom arm. It wants to hang off the side of the vac. I use velcro ties to hold it. Reason I would like to see this is in my small shop, every inch counts. I slide my vac into a tight hole and that hose dangling our the side just irritates me. Yes I tried using the "pig tail" but did not like how it positioned the hose. Maybe I should cut the "pig tail" shorter to lower it.

I have purchased the whole accessories packages, too, and some extra hoses, and a Dust Deputy.

For the benefit of  newcomers, I wish Festool would offer your proposed package and addtionally offer:
 
a) a ninety degree AS fitting for that would fit into the vacuum inlet and into which the 50mm hose or any other Festool hose would fit.  This would make a more compact setup when using the Boom Arm, which is my usual setup.

b) a mini-cyclone in a Systainer box that could be mounted on top of the CT vacuum machines.  Of course, that would diminish sales of replacement paper bags and the Longlife Filter Bags.

Thanks, Steve.  I have seen / read that thread; my experience and that thread is why I recommend Festool offering a new product.  My Dust Deputy complete model works well, but a factory-designed Systainer unit would have been of great interest to me if it had been available.
