Review needed for Boom Arm Tool Holder

[GaryLaroff]

Has anyone written a review for the Boom Arm Tool Holder, part 493558, which currently sells for $68 in the U.S.?  I am thinking of buying one but would like to know if it works and is useful.  I have the CT22, boom arm assembly and a lot of sanders.

Regards,
Gary

That "V" shape is very convenient for hanging round pad sanders. There are some on the WCR 1000 also.

I bought one before I got the WCR-1000.  Very handy and useful.  I'd say it is somewhat nicer than the one on the WCR-1000 since it attaches to the vertical rod of the boom arm in back... when you hang a sander there, the attached hose drapes toward the back getting it out of the way.  The one on the WCR-1000 can be placed more near the back, but in my case, that gets in the way of the flat area where I tend to park all the tools.

All but the RS2e sander can hang from either hook.  I know you can hang the Domino off it, too, if the fence is down, but though I've done that a few times, I don't think it's great for a fence you want to keep from getting messed up; may not be a problem, but I'm not risking anything on my pin fence

Oh, I have a CT-22 also.

Thank you.  I tried to buy one from my local dealer who stocks EVERYTHING, but the only one he had was part of a boom arm combo, so I ordered it.

Once again, thank you for the reviews.
