Repacking a 497700 Tradesman cleaning set

[theplanesaw]

I bought a cleaning set (wands, hose, etc.) that was already open.  No issues. 
My question is ---  How do I get the darned hose back in the box?  How was it originally packed?  I have tried several times by winding the hose tight, but it pushes the sides (primarily the front, and somewhat the back) such that the box doesn't close easily. 
Does Festool show it anywhere?
Thanks,

I have the same problem with my ts55 as I put a plug it hose in with it. It does bulge the front but it doesn't damage it. Well mine hasn't yet!!

Hope this helps

Regards
Scott

If you go on YouTube and search for Festool Professional Cleaning Set Review you will see a video that might help, I couldn't get the link attached here.
