Techflex Snagless Festool Vacuum Hose

[BillyG]

I used some Techflex braided sleeving to surround a Festool vacuum hose and power cord, and make it relatively snagless.  See www.techflex.com

This is the braided sleeve I used: https://www.wirecare.com/product.asp?pn=WC04971303

There is a very easy way to put the hose and cable into the sheath that is to put the plugit cable unto the tool end of the hose, it is a good fit and there is no need for sticky tape

FWIW the cable tie holds a hook (out of shot) and is not needed for anything else.

That looks good.  Thanks for the tip.

How do you pull the cable through the sheath?

Well it's been about 5 years now but AFAIR by pushing the sheath over the hose with the plugit fitted as I showed in the picture above. With the 35mm hose I put the plugit inside the tool end of the hose then did the same (hose and cable together).

The plugit in the end of the hose is an easy way to hang the hose to my sliding rails.
