I wish festool made a pigtail plug that I could leave on my TS-55. The location on the tool makes it difficult to connect and disconnect.

Festool should make a "systainer air compressor"

Rolair already makes a systainer-mounted air compressor called the AirStak.

After having the CSC Sys 50 for over a year and my track saw and mft style cutting station; I find myself using my 10” makita miter saw less and less these days. In fact since the start of 2025 I have only used it on two jobs- both time installing 3-1/4 drown. And being I’m spoiled now and able to move around a table saw in a Systainer- I wish festool made a miter saw- even if it’s an 7-1/4 inch - which fits in a Systainer.

I have even been thinking of spending more time honing my skills cutting crown with a circular saw just to gain back the footprint the 10” makita takes up in my van.

If you are really thinking about honing your skills cutting crown with a circular saw, as a guy who was trained as a finish carpenter, I wish you well on your endeavors and look forward to updates on your progress.

Thanks for the advice! So my new plan is to refuse jobs requiring crown!

There have been plenty of times I wished I had refused to do the crown on jobs

.... a HKC 60.

Plz, I luv u loong time.

I have held off getting an HKC55 hoping an HKC60 would come along. An HKC60 along with a return of the CT SYS would be the two Festools I would buy first if available.

Yeah they used to make the Plug-It pigtails for conversion of non-Plug-It tools. You might be able to source one... but since they are out of production for so long... might become very hard.

There are a ton of options for Systainer compressors. What are you hoping Festool would do different besides the Systainer / handle color?

More centrotec 100mm bit packages. I'm pretty furious trying to figure out what to get.

I am a centrotec fan but I find the bit options in the US to be limited. I got one of the installer kits which is nice and covers many needs. If the installer kit does not have what I need I find myself switching chucks and grabbing something from Dewalt or Milwaukee.
