Key Features
Smoother HandlingThe smooth outer skin helps this hose slide past edges, corners, and workpieces instead of hanging up. That means fewer interruptions when you are sanding, sawing, or cleaning up on the job. Flexible Under LoadThe inner hose is built to stay extremely elastic, so the tool end moves with you instead of fighting you. That matters when you are working overhead, around cabinets, or in tight rooms. Secure CLEANTEC FitThe bayonet-style CLEANTEC sleeve locks onto the tool for a more reliable connection, and the integrated bypass lets you fine-tune airflow. This Festool vacuum accessory is built to stay connected until you want it off.
Overview
The Festool 577161 Antistatic Smooth Suction Hose with Rotating Angle Adapter 27/32mm x 11-ft-6-in is a dust extraction hose built for Festool CT MINI and CT MIDI extractors. This is a vacuum accessory designed for dust extraction and tool-connected cleanup. Model Number 577161. If you use sanders, saws, or other dust-producing tools and you are tired of hoses catching on corners and dragging the tool around, this hose solves a real problem on the job.
What sets this hose apart is how it handles in use. Festool built it with a robust smooth outer skin, so it moves across edges and surfaces with less snagging than a typical ribbed hose. On a real jobsite, that means less fighting the hose while you work, better control at the tool, and fewer stops to untangle or reposition the line.
Inside that smooth shell is an extremely elastic hose body. That flexibility matters when you are moving around a bench, working inside a finished space, or using a sander for long stretches. A hose that stays flexible puts less pull on the tool and less strain on your wrist, which makes detail work cleaner and overhead work less annoying.
The CLEANTEC connecting sleeve is another feature that earns its keep. It uses a bayonet fitting to connect securely to the power tool, so the hose is far less likely to slip off in the middle of a cut or sanding pass. Festool also adds an infinitely adjustable bypass at the sleeve, which lets you dial airflow to match the task. That is useful when full suction would otherwise make a sander feel sticky or harder to guide.
Festool also calls this hose antistatic and temperature-resistant up to +70 degrees Celsius. The antistatic design helps reduce static buildup during dust extraction, which is especially important with fine dust. The rotating angle adapter on the extractor side helps the hose track more naturally as you move, reducing twist and helping the hose lay better next to the extractor.
In terms of fit, this hose is made for Festool CT MINI and CT MIDI units. The hose size is listed as 27/32 mm with an overall length of 3.5 m, or about 11 ft 6 in. That gives you enough reach for most bench, trim, installation, and interior finishing work without dragging an oversized hose around the room.
Who should buy it? This is a smart upgrade for woodworkers, finish carpenters, remodelers, and anyone already running a Festool dust extractor setup. If you work in occupied homes, care about dust control, or just want a hose that does not constantly catch on every corner in the shop, this is the kind of accessory you notice every day because it makes the whole system easier to use.
Built to Move Without Hanging Up
A hose sounds simple until it keeps catching on the edge of a table, a miter saw stand, or a door casing. Festool designed this one to stay out of your way so your dust extraction setup works like part of the tool instead of something you have to manage constantly.

Pro Tip
If you are using this hose with a sander, back off the bypass a little when full suction makes the pad feel glued to the surface. That small airflow adjustment can make the tool easier to control without giving up the dust collection benefit.
