Can anyone recommend an additional vacuum nozzle that will not scratch soft wooden floors? (castors scratch the finish).  I  have the "Plastic Interchangeable Floor nozzle -452906" which is okay, but would like something a little better with more brush action. I have tried the aluminum floor nozzle (has casters) and the "plastic multi purpose floor nozzle" (which also has castors even though they were not mentioned when I ordered it!!!).  I want to use this with the stainless steel vacuum tubes. 
 
I used this one around the house and like it.

I'm almost positive it will fit the festool stainless tubes, but I can double check if you want when I get home.  The locking tab just won't lock onto the tube since it doesn't have the mating cut out on the tube.  I do believe it has two small wheels on the ends to keep from getting pulled flat to the floor.  I think they would be fine for a delicate floor.

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

Not sure about scratching soft wood floors, but the Festool plastic does not leave black marks.
