What is the most indispensable Festool?

[fdengel]

The most indispensable Festool is the one you don't have (when you are in a shop) or the one you forgot to bring with you (when you are at a site).

I thought that was obvious...   [laughing]

EDIT: more seriously, the CT is really a big part of what makes most of the other tools as great as they are; this is clearly not the only thing (considering the drills as a case in point), but given how much value it adds to nearly every other tool in the lineup, would have to agree with the CT units if picking just one - not because of what they do on their own, but because of the value they add to the other tools.

Of course must be me going against the grain again.... no tool is indispensable. If I don't have one, I find some other way to do the job.

I find the vacs one of the least indispensable tools of all. I mean, if I can't bring it with me, a brush and dustpan will do just fine. I still get the job done.

Alex, I often enjoy your posts when you come out from left field -  you enrich the debate and discussion, however I have to ask -
'How are your lungs going!! '  [wink]

Further update on my Ct22. Quoted $250 Aust. for new brushes and set of filters. Given its new replacement in the form of a CT26 is around $1100 Aust. I approved the repairs. Whether I get another twelve years remains to be seen, but the Midi will now share some workload.
