Sys -vac hose

[pettyconstruction]

So,like all things,once the hose is removed from the systainer ,
It refuses to go back without some coercion.

I came up with this,now I don’t have to remove the stack to use the vac.
I’ll post my thoughts when I actually use it in the field.

What’s everyone’s solution ?

That is a super simple solution  [cool]

Below is tomtom1984's post of a CTL-SYS modification. I believe Seth also upsized the Systainer to a larger Systainer with a simple modification of cutting a hole.https://www.festoolownersgroup.com/festool-jigs-tool-enhancements/modified-ctl-sys/

Yup, I did. It is in that same thread ^^

    But since then I have switched to a regular Sys lid, I have also swapped out the hose for the new type which fits in even better ( I shortened it by a foot too). I have swapped the SysCT cord to a 24" one and keep an 8' extension cord in the modified top Sys as well. I find it easier to put a separate coiled cord into the Sys. All of that makes it so the bent tube, one extension tube, a round brush, and the drill dust hood will also fit.  I will try to post some new pictures tomorrow.

Nice mod Seth,
I may copy you when I get fed up with my current set up.

I also replaced my hose with the new version and find it MUCH easier to store in the original systainers.

Really? LOL You need to buy more tools.
I was able to grab the 28 piece set for something like $120, but it looks like it is out of stock. This one will get you started.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...al-Hole-Saw-Set-20-Piece-49-22-4170/305966971

I used a forstner bit, a dremel with spiral bit, hack saw for the straight parts.

Cleaned it up with hand files, sandpaper, and such.
