The verdictOur take

The CTLC SYS I is Festool's cordless L class extractor, running on two 18V packs for 36V, with a 4.5L container, 40 l/s of airflow and 18 kPa of suction at 6kg bare. It has no tool socket, so it starts through built-in Festool Bluetooth from a Bluetooth battery on the tool or the included CT-F I remote, and it is sold body only. We rate it a neat choice for cordless fitters on jobs away from mains; the CTMC SYS I is the M class version, and the CTLC MIDI I takes 15L with 51.7 l/s.

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.
