FUN TIME What is the most useless expensive festool tool/accessory you have ever bought

The Domino could be my least used Festool and it's expensive.  However, when you need it you need it so it's definitely not worthless.  Worthless is all the big box stuff I have collecting what little dust comes of out of my CT36.

Now for my second attack of useless things from festool, I bought a cyclone box just for the router and as it fitted on top of a Mini / Midi CT was sold a CT mini, again by my local tool dealer down here in SW France, works perfect as all of the cuttings go in the cyclone bin. One day I had to go to my girlfriends house to refit all of her internal doors so took along my Mini as it was small and light, and a planer, waste of time as the hose kept blocking, for some unknown design reason the hose has a 90 degree rigid plastic bend as it enters the bin unit and with anything other than dust it blocks up. The other thing is the size, I have a pocket in my trousers bigger than the bin on the Mini so used as a Class L vacuum could cost hundreds of pounds a tear in bags.

You really have a right tool for the wrong job saga going on [sad]

My CT-Mini is awesome for sanding and sawing jobs all over the place. I use a CT36 if planing or routing though.
 
For me it's the MFK700 router, I think I have used it once or twice, if it had a plunge base it would be much nicer, so I find myself using my little Dewalt far more.  As for accessories I would agree the MFT3 miter gauge gets no love in my shop.
 
A Sawstop to make up for the inability to rip thin pieces easily with the track saw.  I hate taking it out and setting it up, and now it just sits there - a junk holder and rust maintenance nightmare.  [sad]
