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.

The cable supplied with the tool
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.The cable supplied with the tool
Is your difficulty with getting the cable attached? detached?

I also really like the Plug-It connector, makes storing the tools a bit neater in my book, and although I was worried about how robust they are, i've had zero problems over the years with them..

@luvmytoolz I was completely on the other end of this. I assumed "hard wired" was at the receptacle end, not capable of being disconnected.
For me, and the way I work, the Plug-It cable is one of the greatest features. It is a genuine disappointment to me the RAS 115 does not have it. I also converted my TS60 as soon as I could get the parts.
I do essentially the same as @jeffinsgf, keeping a cable on the CT and swapping between tools, the extras are in a drawer.

I have only had one Plug-It issue. My TS55 needed to be sent in for repair because it had lost power. Festool Service called and said I needed a new plug it cord in addition to the repair. I have a bunch of Plug-it and told them no need to send a new one.

There was/is a Festool ‘Hardwire kit’ that is specifically for ETS 150 EQ and RO 150 FEQ Part #492780

Don’t know if it would work - as is - with the DF 500, but it might be a starting point if you’re looking to, maybe 3D print, something for a DF 500 coversion.
Kind regards,
Oliver
