I already have a CT-26 with the Compact cleaning kit mounted in the Festool cradle that's available for it along with the tail-mounted brush holder. However, I'm about to own a 36 AC Vac and was kicking around one of  these two kits to go with it.
The Tradesman kit is very popular, and I like that the smaller brushes come with it for nooks and crannies.
The Workshop kit would need 492392 for an extra $20 on top of the $260 that it costs to get those same small attachments and make me happy about that... [embarassed]
Several threads have been about all of these kits, one in Jan. of this year, but has anyone bought one of a type, and wished that they'd bought the 'other' one after using it for a few months?  [blink]
The Industrial kit is large diameter, plastic tubing and 50mm hose equipped, but I don't think it's for me so it's easy to rule out for the types of clean-ups I'm looking ahead at.
  I'd already read that trying to use the special black hose of the Planex/36 Auto for the cleaning sets can run into difficulties with the different Planex Hose end not fitting into certain nozzle attachments, while others fit okay to it.
Since both cleaning kits come with their own 36mm hose, and I own one already as well, this isn't a worry for me.
Your thoughts...
