Festool vac sys. Keep or sell?

[See Mcgee]

I recently picked up a quite a few Festool items from someone moving out of country. Among them was the vac sys work holding set with pump, vac sys se1 (systainer not pictured but included) and vac sys vt sort. I’ve been using a diy vac work holding setup with an air venturi vac generator that has been fine. I considered keeping it but after seeing what they go for I’m thinking of other tools I could use more. Having never used it will I regret selling it later?

I don't know about yours, but I hated using a Venturi. Loud hissing and then the noise of the air compressor. The lead me to a vacuum pump, and eventually to the Sys-Vac. I have a larger pump for veneering.

Plug in the pump and listen to the lack of noise before you go to sell. Also, the market prices for the Sys-Vacs seem to have come down some from the highs.

Many of us were on the fence post about buying the Sys-Vac for our own reasons UNTIL it was discontinued. Most people like or love it.
