Fill in the blank: I wish Festool made a ______!

[Jim_in_PA]

I've been asking for years for Robertson/Square Drive support from Festool for drill/drivers. I have the Snappy Centrotec square drive bits, but they are not as good quality as I would prefer.

Unfortunately, the square drive bits were only offered in a limited edition installer set for the USA that was offered 2-3 years ago. They are also not available as replacement parts.  [mad] [mad]

I've been asking for them for about ten years. I made a few of my own that fit in the Centrotec setup by chucking in my lathe and employing some files and about a year ago bought the Snappy bits that are designed for Centrotec. The last answer I got was "...we can't get them with the quality we want..." (paraphrased) which makes no sense to me. I've had plenty of great quality  1/4" "standard" bits over the years! Oh well...all I can do is ask. And ask again.

Belt sander w/dust  collection Chambers that don't clog. Makita 3×21 hooked to CT is good but not great when using 50grit paper

I wish Festool made a 12 inch compound mitre saw. This is probably the most dust creating tool in my shop. I like the way the 10 inch one works, and would buy it if it could cut a table leg!

A handsaw that cuts the exact width as a ts55. I had to finish some angled plunge cuts into a corner and the thin blade on my pull saw likes to go off on it's own course. Bonus points if it cuts on the pull stroke and fits in the systainer. limited edition is fine.

I have had to tackle similar challenges.

Get a small Japanese pull saw. I use the cheap and cheerful ones made by Irwin. You can follow either edge of a kerf line very easily. I am sure that I have shown this in some of my videos but have not a clue which ones.

They have jigsaw blades the same size/kerf. One of the gold/yellow ones. Can find one of mine and post more details if you like ..

I added in Facebook as well, but Festool should add a built-in light to their routers.  Attached is my low budget solution until they do.

A cordless 18v ehl 65 planer would be a nice add to the cordless range

How about a "Domino Table" similar to the Kreg Foreman? I think that it would save us a lot of time when doing repetitive work like face frames.

Festool design team : I would be very happy to have the first table once you have a marketable product. For free, of course. [emoji16]

Not sure if it's mentioned already. An 18volt ct sys dust collector to go with all the cordless tools.

Do you need help finding the parts that need to be operated, so you want them colored green? [poke]

An FS 1400 rail bag that is as nice, stiff & padded as the FSK rail bags. The current bag is only good for preventing scratches!? Doesn't stop the ends denting when someone plonks your bag down a bit too hard on a concrete floor..

A smooth running sabre saw. Everyone I have had, have vibrated and shaked so much that a straight cut is a real challenge

I wish Festool made a Systainer that is strong enough to stand on. I have an old Rubbermaid that I can stand on.

I stand on all of mine. Sometimes I make steps with them.

I just bought a systainer mini 3 TL for my 11 month old son. IT will be his first toolbox. I just wish Festool made tool set for kids, so I didn't need to poison my son with bad taste by buying Bosch!
