Thanks for all the great information, I have wanted to change some of my dewalt and porter cable tools to plug it ends, and this information helps greatly. But i do have one question. The two Plug-It conversion-kits are IDENTICAL exept for the length of the cord that is supplied. One is 360mm, one is 420mm. That's the only difference. For the 491144 plug it conversion-kit, in the seventh and eighth picture it shows screws holding the pigtail together, is it possible to take the screws out and change the green wire to part of the original cord on my other tools? Or is the pigtail not able to be taken apart like the ends on a factory plug it cord?

one (or make several) longer power cable, PowerCon Female at one end and normal mains connector on other I won't place any links to any shops. But I'm sure you guys can find one that's also willing to ship to you. If all else fails you could ask some of the British lads to do so. Here is a link to what I believe might be the connector you are looking for: http://www.onlinecomponents.com/datasheet/h320c.aspx?p=11518130

This plug-it will allow you to "Festoolize" your various machines to make them compatible with the Festool connector system. All you have to do is acquire the brand's simple connector online and you're done! This ensures a much better electrical connection than you could get just clamping down on bare copper strands.

OK, with that out of the way let's get down to business. Here's what we're going to be starting with: So what if you managed to damage or destroy the plug-it end on one of your Plug-it cords? That's where item #3 comes in. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. So first let's look at the Plug-It conversion and the US Plug-It cords that you will want to use them with. Here's the standard Festool 18 ga cord which is included with most sanders, jigsaws, the OF1010, and other 'smaller-draw' machines on the left, and the Plug-It conversion along side on the right: In Europe en Germany where all Festools are made, the colours are the same as Bohdan says: brown is active, blue is neutral.If you find an error, PLEASE PM me so I can correct it. I'm not asking you to PM me so I can hide a mistake or avoid being embarrassed. I'd simply prefer to make any necessary corrections in this initial post and keep discussions about errors or corrections out of the thread to avoid confusion as people read this in the future.

I don't necessarily disagree with most of what you said, and I ABSOLUTELY agree that I'd prefer the HD power cord come with everything. I just don't see a noticeable difference in the weight. Was thinking of adopting this system into some non-festool items. But glad I read this thread. Didn't realize there were two different sizes. Immediately continue working even with a damaged cable, as the cable can be replaced with a single hand movement

Ferrules should be crimped. Just thread them onto the cable, and squeeze with pliers to stop them falling off. Then screw them down. In which case I'm with Edward - buy a second cable and leave it permanently connected to the boom arm and have both it and a Plug-It attached to an extension lead that is *then* plugged into the CT. The problem I've got is I can't see a way to get the wires out of the plug-it kit (see the picture below) they won't pull out and I've tried tapping the pins on the other side but no joy? I'm getting the impression they are made not to come out? Quote from: RMW on January 26, 2013, 09:47 AM Heading that way myself. I also "imported" a couple replacement cord ends and located a 2-wire extension cord in the proper color, now I have an 8 meter custom cord.
