Instagram 25K Followers Festool Giveaway

Win a Festool CT SYS!

By Fine Homebuilding Editors

Fine Homebuilding recently reached the 25,000 followers milestone on Instagram, and while that makes us want to celebrate, it’s you who could really win big. Thanks to Festool USA, we are able to make this nice accomplishment into something truly awesome for one lucky winner.

As our way of saying thank you, up for grabs is the Festool CT SYS, which is a ultraportable compact dust extractor. The CT SYS has tool-activated operation and self-contained hose and cord storage, and is designed to be carried via handle or shoulder strap. The new CT SYS design and performance capabilities make it the most highly portable and completely functional professional dust extractor on the market.

If you want to learn more about this system, associate editor and tool aficionado Patrick McCombe reported on the Festool CT SYS here.

Professional remodeler and Fine Homebuilding contributor Paul Johnson put the CT SYS to the test for issue 262, and you can read his review here.
