Adapts the Fein Vacs to Festool Tools,
Don’t be oversold on the hyped superiority of Festool vacs for their tools. While they are excellent vacs (I own one in addition to a Fein Turbo II) with tons of features, strictly from a vacuuming standpoint they don’t offer any better performance than the Fein – and that includes any supposed advantage of the Festool vac’s variable speed.
The one use for which I prefer the Festool vac is for sanding. But that’s because I have a Festool vac with a HEPA filter, and I do not have the HEPA filter for my Fein. There is also one really good reason to prefer the FEIN vac over Festool, and that’s the cost of bags! Unlike sanding dust, chips from a tool like the Festool Domino will fill a bag in a hurry. Do yourself a favor and attach the Domino to your Fein instead!
This adapter can be trimmed to fit any Festool power tool and will store nicely in the Systainer. It is as flexible as the end of the Festool hose, so will adapt to either the round or oval dust outlets on Festool tools.

|The only workable adaptor for diverse tools,
I use several of these Fein step adaptors (drawing into either the 4″ shop system or to one of my Porter-Cable vacuums). They provide a reliable friction fit into the dust tubes of every Bosch and Makita tool I own, and plenty of others as well. I have found that the Jet and other brands of step adaptor just aren’t worth the effort: Poor fit means I have to tape them into place, which means that I’ve just dedicated a crummy little adaptor to one machine or portable tool. Nuts.
Until there’s a law that all light machines and portable tools must have the same size TAPERED dust portal, I’ll happily go on settling for this tapered fitting and skip the rest of the plastic.
Oh yeah. The Fein is also better made and more durable than its competitors — vital for a piece of plastic that’s always getting pulled out of one fit-up and jambed into another.
