The verdictOur take

The CTLC MIDI I is Festool's cordless L class wet & dry extractor on two 18V packs for 36V, with a 15L container, 51.7 l/s of airflow and 19 kPa of suction at 10.2kg bare. It suits general and wood dust on jobs away from mains, starting through built-in Festool Bluetooth or the included CT-F I remote, as there is no tool socket; it is sold body only. We rate it a capable cordless extractor for fitters; the corded CTL MIDI I gives 61.7 l/s and 24 kPa, and the CTLC SYS I is lighter at 6kg with 4.5L.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
