Right angle plug-it cord

[Kodi Crescent]

I am making a toybox, and I'm trying to build it without fasteners.  I made some goofs where I assembled the box and glued part of it up, and then realized I needed to cut more dominos inside the box.  The domino machine barely fit inside.  I had to squish the cord down and plunge it to the surface to get it to fit.

In a case like this it would have been nice to have a right angle plug-it cord that didn't protrude from the end of the tool very far.  It may not be practical for everyday use, but it would be a nice option to have when faced with those tight spots.

or a folding handle on the tool like one of those cordless screw drivers = )

Boy, you could have used that new cordless Domino I seen on the German Festool website.  I'm joking, no cordless Domino (at least that I'm aware of). 

The new Carvex jigsaws have a pivoting Plug-it connection, maybe other tools might have these in the future too.

A pivoting plug it would have worked great!  Is the pivot in the cord, or in the tool?

How does that help? He asks "Is the pivot in the cord, or in the tool?" and you answer "tool/cord"? [doh]

Kodi,

To answer your question (with one answer rather than both!), the pivot is built into the tool, so the plug-it socket moves. The plug-it plug is the same as for every other Festool cord.

Thank you for clearing that up!

That right angle plug it would have come in real handy today as I made those mortises in a tight space.
