So it appears that Festool have listened to feedback on a couple of the points made in this thread. Posted in the 2022 catalogue are the specs for the NEW Cordless CT’s. Importantly the CTC SYS has:
1./ 2x18V battery powered for total 36V motor. Adds weight of course.
2./ When you detach the hose garage to be able to use that nice strap, the hose socket hole now appears to have a nice green swivel baffle to close it off when you take the hose out and tip it on its side.
3./. Importantly appears to have a variable suction selector similar to the new generation MINI and MIDI. Looks like its only a three step variable but hey that would be wonderful.
In addition they have battery powered the CTC/MINI and CTC/MIDI. Look like the current generation, but with a double battery bay on the far side of the hose garage/Systainer platform.
Really interested to see if/how long they are NAINA and when we might see them here. Should be a no brained as we can use them worldwide as they use the 18V battery platform, however I am sure there is regulatory differences to get through (ugh!)
