Saw this on the Festool UK Facebook page:

My uninformed guess is a Cordless Planex drywall sander.

My uninformed guess is a Cordless Planex drywall sander.

Same thought crossed my mind. But then I saw the guy was carrying a corded extractor - so unless it's a particularly poorly imagined marketing image then likely not a cordless product.

Must be something to do with the color of his shoelaces

I think it is a double wide T-loc systainer that holds
2 regular systainers inside

Everyone always hopes the answer is a puppy, so I'm going to go with a wiener dog to show off the new form factor ability, the old ones could only carry pugs.

Lunch?

Because of the unfinished drywall scenario I would guess some kind of Planex, now new in a systainer.

Probably the most likely scenario... I suspect Festool’s definition of a ‘new tool’ is probably a little different to mine.

I don’t think the corded extractor in shot completely rules out a cordless tool, given that Festool have been adding Bluetooth to their extractors and batteries recently, but if it’s a Planex I don’t see much benefit to going cordless as it’s the type of tool that will never be used without extraction.

It’s the battery pack for that cordless CT26 he’s carrying....

That is the most obvious answer (they probably want to get rid of the old classic maxi container), but it's not the fun answer.

This would be the fun answer but produced in Yellow Green RAL 6018.

This would be the fun answer only in Yellow Green RAL 6018.

For 'when the concrete guys messed up beyond recovery' ?

No for  when  the  architect forgot to put a door in the masons plans

No, for when the GC has to remove the architect from the wall cavity the masons put the architect in after he proposed changes after the wall was built.

If it's a cordless Planex, I hope to god it doesn't have custom batteries like they developed for the sanders, and instead are just using the normal 18V ones.

Good grief folks. The systainer pictured is a new size offering, that's it. Nothing inside, just an empty oversized systainer. It was thoroughly discussed elsewhere on the FOG many months ago. The forum's search function is your friend.

I think you may have misunderstood the Festool teasers. The XXL systainer is already in the shops over here - that’s not the ‘new tool’ that Festool are talking about. The new tool is what’s inside, as they explicitly state in the teaser adverts.

Take a look at the second teaser I posted.
