Festool - Festool- Cleantex CT 26 Shop Vacuum
The Cleantex CT 26 from Festool features an onboard power outlet.
Oct 27, 2011
Two features that have become state-of-the-art for shop vacuums are variable suction and an onboard power outlet. These features are related: If you have a tool plugged into the vacuum, the combined amp draw might trip your breaker. So it’s nice to able to dial back the suction a bit to draw less power. Also, with some sanders, full suction will pull the tool against the wood, making it harder to move it.
