Ok, I couldn't resist. Or shall I say I did resist purchasing the Festool Suction Hose Holder for my new CT22.
What I couldn't resist was tinkering. I wasn't that impressed with the $32 accessory, and thought I might try something a little different... and less costly.
I went to Home Depot and picked up a "driveway marker". This is a fiberglass rod with a reflector on the top.
A few simple steps
Tah-dah, a fiberglass hose/cord holder. It flexes/bends easily and smoothly.
I hope this helps the fellow tinkerers out there who (like me) can't leave well enough alone.
Oh, and the price for the driveway marker: $1.98 !!

A few simple steps
- Pop out the reflectors
- Cut the rod to length (whatever height you like)
- Sand the last inch or so of the rod to a slightly smaller diameter, so it fits into the mounting hole
