What is a useless Plug It cable?

@Crazyraceguy It sounds like he means to replace the socket on the tool with a standard mains cable so it's permanently wired.

Which would be a bit fugly in practice unless you were handy with a 3D printer to cover up the nastiness.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your disdain for the Plug It puts you in a very small minority. I've joined my cable and dust hose together and use one cable for every tool with all the other cables in a closet. No wad of cord in the tool case. Even without that, the cord coils better and stores easier when removed.

Is your difficulty with getting the cable attached? detached?

A lot of folks are doing the exact opposite...changing their hard wired tools to use a Festool Plug-it.
