This was an excellent review, Peter. I bought the CTSC when it first came out because I wanted a more small, portable dust extractor with blue tooth but I have been very disappointed by the unit’s short battery life. It is the first Festool product I’ve bought that I’ve been disappointed with. This would have been perfect for me if it had a plug-in option to use with mains power. This is the same concern I have about the new CSC Sys saw. I would love to have the saw if it had a plug-in option. I think Festool, in what appears to be a drive towards offering only battery-powered tools, is making a mistake. Many people, myself included, would find plug-in options preferable for larger tools that draw a lot of power, like the CSC Sys and the CTSC. Having to frequently change batteries is a nuisance!!! Thank you, Peter, for the time and effort you put in to producing your excellent videos! They are greatly appreciated.

Peter doing a Festool video - what’s not to love! Nobody does it better! 👏👏👏

Thanks for the overview peter. I like the idea of these compact vacs (I have the M18 packout vac), but really festool made a mistake in discontinuing the corded version of this vac. They could have just updated it to match the current feature set (bt, variable suction) while also introducing the cordless variant. There's room on the market for both.

Thanks Peter; it's great to know. I don't take my vac from my shop. But I still like to see what Fesstool is doing. Thanks again kind Sir.

Good afternoon Hi Peter thanks for sharing

"It takes a lot to fill these bags" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Peter for another excellent review. I'm keen to buy the CSC table saw from Axminster but they are out of stock at the moment but I am on their waiting list for notification when they have been re-supplied. I have the original extractor machine and found that the hose was of poor quality as it cracked in two places but the upgraded hose is just right. Also, I found that paper dust collection bags were limited so I bought the stronger extraction bag with a zip on the bottom and stand over my waste recylcing bin and empty it. I've been a convert to Festool for several years and appreciate the general high quality of all of their products.;

Absolutely agree on the 2nd set of batteries. I wish they would have made the battery opening big enough to accommodate two 5.6 ah batteries. I have a Milwaukee vac that I use and like, and I can put a 12ah battery in it and it goes for quite a while. I tend to use the Milwaukee for cleanups. Also agree on FCPX for video editing. I changed to it several years ago and can easily do what I need to do with it.

Good editing😊

I have one love it

Great instructional video… I would rather have a corded vacuum, constant power means constant vacuum dust removal…

I too found the battery life to be shorter than expected in continuous use (such as general cleaning/post project cleanup). I bought it primarily for the Bluetooth, and, as far as that goes I'm pleased. For me the idea was to replace my DeWalt DCV580H portable vac. In general, the CTSC outperforms the DeWalt. But I gave up the much longer battery life and, more significantly, the dual power (the DeWalt has both 20v AND mains power). As a dust extractor the CTSC is far better than the DeWalt, quieter, better suction, better hose. When its all said and done the CTSC is the better vac but the DeWalt represents significantly better value due to it's longer battery life and ability to use mains power.

Great review as always Peter, I though you ended your colabration with festool?

Well done Peter thanks for this review, professional as always and perfect timing as I am in the market for a new cordless dust extractor. Do you think the M class version is worth the money (I am not using it professionally)...thanks again, Nick

Thank you for showing. I am considering buying one for addition to my CTL Midi. I also use the CT-VA separator and I wonder will it make good sense to use with a battery powered dust extractor?

Final Cut Pro is awesome editing software!

Does anyone know if it has the same bypass valve problems as the cable version or did they fixed it? (it acts like it's clogged)

if I'm not mistaking, the airstream does not start to charge a hot battery. The airstream is for cooling down the battery during the charging (faster charge) but it will not cool a hot batter first when starting the charge. Maybe take a dyson with you for cleaning up 😆😆

I hope ur kidding with accessing the dust compartment. The old sys you can just flip the top one, you don’t have to remove the hose and all…

IInstead of constant new ideas, of whatever, it would also be time to reflect that the Parf Guide system has a weak point. Namely, no hole to hang it on. I bought it and am absolutely convinced it is fantaschtisch, but you can not hang it, which has led to the fact that it is now abused as a ruler and that is not the point. It is built of high strength steel and not easy to hole with normal drills. So a hole should be drilled at the top to hang it. Well I also use it for welding tables. Should also be mentioned that this system is not only good for wood but also for Metall..
