I think it's a balancer. And probably is attached to the large ASA Boom arms.
You can attach your dust hose or machine to it and it's then connected to a steel wire which is spring-loaded.
When reaching out with the hose it's automatically retracted to the start point and is always under tension.
I have got one myself (no Festool) and the tension can be adjusted.
So no more hoses lying on the ground. And it always comes from above.

Yes, sure is. I hate those clips with 1 second focus, the result is, you can never focus on anything. Hello ADHD.

Yes I noticed this the other day. .
I have been recently thinking about pulling the trigger on the pro tool Quadrill Drill. May just hold of a month and see what Festool news/timeframe is.
I have no problem with getting the protool version but if it's gonna be available in Festool colours then I'm happy to wait a month and have it match the rest of my gear.
My thought is though that Festool may not release the Percussion/Hammer version of the Drill (Protool have one with and one without) - I would want that ability on a drill like this. And as yet I don't think Festool do any products with the Hammer/Percussion function. . . . Perhaps Festool Feel that this is "not their bag"??

The tables were made by festool just for the road show. It toured the UK too so I got to see those tables close up. We didn't get shown the new tools though.

They're not just made for the roadshow, but custom made by Festool to support their dealer network. All bigger dealers over here have one in their store for their demonstation corner. It's an MFT with a frame made out of some 80/20 type profile, placed on casters, with sysport slides inside. Not long ago, a local dealer here sold some of these tables, used, to the public for €2500 a piece.

I sincerely doubt he made a lot money on them, if any. Festool won't sell them cheap to their dealers. They're bigger than normal MFT's. The picture No 5 above includes 2 sysports 500/2 and has a custom top. The alu profiles cost quite some money and the casters too. And it's a custom job, so you have to add labour also.
