FESTOOL’s CT HEPA Dust Extractors Are EPA RRP Certified

festool_exterior_sanding-hepa-vacuum

As of October 2011, all CT dust extractors shipping from FESTOOL have been tested and certified as full unit HEPA dust extractors. Learn more in this five-page PDF »

Why is that important? If your current vacuum includes a HEPA filter, but lacks Full Unit HEPA Certification, then you are at risk of being cited for noncompliance with EPA RRP regulations.

FESTOOL has just now completed extensive independent testing, resulting in full-unit HEPA certification for its entire line of CT Dust Extractors. This means that the entire unit is HEPA certified, not just the filter.

FESTOOL has also announced a new monthly sweepstakes. For January, this sweepstakes includes a C15 Cordless Drill Set. Learn more at www.festoolsweepstakes.com.

Best New Building Products of 2011: Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive

Simpson Strong-Tie’s Quik Drive PRO300S auto-feed screw driving system includes a new decking nose clip, a handy accessory that centers the screw on the deck joist and places each screw the same distance from the edge of the board. This helps to give the deck a clean finished appearance. The Quik Drive PRO300S kit includes the auto-feed attachment, removable nose clip, extension for stand-up driving, as well as a choice of a DeWalt or Makita screwdriver motor. This lightweight tool is incredibly easy to use.

FESTOOL recently announced that they have made some improvements to the CT MINI and MIDI models of their dust extractor family. The new units will come standard with a HEPA filter factory installed and the new self-cleaning filter bags that were introduced last year in the CT 26 and CT 36. The best part: the price remains unchanged!

This time last year, FESTOOL announced the introduction of the new CT 26 and CT 36 Dust Extractors. New for October 2011 is the CT 48 Dust Extractor, the largest Dust Extractor in the CT family. All of the new CT models feature HEPA filtration, variable suction control, tool-triggered operation, SysDock tool storage capabilities, an antistatic hose and many other features that you’ve come to expect from FESTOOL’s industry leading dust extractors.
