Festool Planex
- Thread starter monte
- Start date
I my opinion, this is the best demo video they have done to date. Shows all the benefits and usability of this REALLY COOL tool! Got to believe it costs close to $2000 although Im sure it is NAINA. The ultimate drywall tool. Love how it uses suction to lighten the load. I always sand my walls prior to painting and repainting and normally use my old PorterCable 333 as it is so light. This new gizmo would be just the ticket for someone lazy like me as it would do a wall so much faster. I am amazed by the engineering that went into this tool combo. Those darn Germans. (I am half German)

Thats a great video about a tool that I don't need. ;D
But what I do need
is the mechanism shown that keeps the vacuum hose attached to the tool. The fact that the vacuum hose keeps slipping off all my sander is a the thing that I like least 
about my Festool tools. I discuss this problem in the thread:http://festoolownersgroup.com/index.php?topic=212.msg1792#msg1792
I have complained about this for at least four years and offered some suggestions and it appears that Festool now has the solution. I hope that the mechanism starts showing up soon on their other sanders. Even better, a way should be provided to retrofit this onto existing sanders.
