Festool (CTL22) Vac Acccessories

[white_sw]

I've got the Festool CTL22 what I was more than happy to pay the money for a quality product., However, the accessories I
don't think are worth the extra, which is why I am looking for an alternative. Hence this question.

Does anyone know if the Draper 36mm / 50mm accessories are compatible with the Festool 36mm / 50mm accessories ?

Something like these :

Sam,
My old extractor is a Draper, which came with some of these accessories, I also have a Festool CT33 which has the same fittings as the CTL22.

Are there any accessories in particular you are interested in, if you let me know I can check if I have them and if they fit the CT33.

I'm hoping to use the Draper 36mm & 50mm ali extension tubes and floor attachments.

From memory I think I have the 36mm metal tubes, will have a look (probably tomorrow night) and post the result.

Sam,
I had a quick look last night.
The Draper rigid floor nozzle fits directly onto the Festool 36mm hose nozzle ok, it is a tight fit and won't fall off, so this is ok.
However, the Draper metal tubes have a much more gentle taper than the Draper Accessories, they will fit onto the Festool hose, they seal ok and will work but the Festool hose nozzle does not really grip the tube, after a few forward and backward movements the tube slips off of the Festool nozzle.
By holding the Festool nozzle and tube at the same time it is workable, but not very good in my opinion.

Where have you looked for the Festool vacuum accessories?
If you follow this link http://www.directbrandtools.com/Detail.asp?qsFullScr=Yes&qsProd=492389&qsCat=33&qsSubCat=137 you will find the following Festool Cleaning Kit;

FESTOOL D 27 / D 36 S-RS Standard Cleaning Set

- Hand Pipe
- Bent D 36 HR-K
- 3 Extension tubes D 36 VR-K

- 4-Piece D 36 BD270
- Crevice Nozzle D 36 FD-210
- Upholstery nozzle D 36 PD

All for a cost of £22.45 incl vat.

Not bad value in my opinion, and guaranteed to fit your CTL22.

Martin,

Thank you very much indeed. You have been a great help. I'd seen the kit in the link you posted,
but no where near that price. I'm off to order it right now. Thanks again for your help.

Cheers,
Sam
