Festool WHR/CT-ASA Tool Holder for CT Boom Arm - 2 Tools

At a Glance: Heavy-duty steel tool holder for Festool CT-ASA boom arms, providing safe and ergonomic storage for up to two electric or pneumatic power tools.

Give your sanding or polishing workstation a cleaner, safer and more organised layout with the Festool WHR/CT-ASA Tool Holder. Designed specifically as an accessory for the Festool CT boom arm system, this robust holder provides a convenient parking position for two electric or pneumatic power tools directly at the workstation. Instead of placing a sander on the floor, balancing it on the extractor or searching for somewhere safe to put it between operations, the WHR/CT-ASA keeps frequently used machines securely suspended and within comfortable reach. Its strong steel construction is made for professional workshop use, while the tapered holder geometry accommodates different machine shapes including Festool eccentric sanders and ROTEX sanders. Installation is equally straightforward: the holder attaches to the compatible boom arm using a clamping screw and requires no additional tools for mounting. For workshops built around Festool dust extraction, sanding and polishing systems, it is a simple accessory that can make a surprisingly big difference to workflow and organisation.

Keep two machines safely parked and ready to work

The WHR/CT-ASA turns the Festool boom arm into more than a hose-management system. Its two tool-support positions provide an immediately accessible place for compatible sanders, polishers and pneumatic tools while they are not in use. The tapered support design allows different machine shapes to be suspended securely, helping create a tidy workstation where tools, extraction hose and power or compressed-air connections can remain organised around the operator.

Product highlights

Storage for two tools: Provides convenient and ergonomic parking positions for up to two electric or pneumatic power tools.
Heavy-duty steel construction: Robust steel construction provides stability and durability for professional workshop use.
Tool-free installation: Mounts to the compatible Festool boom arm using a practical clamping screw without requiring installation tools.
Tapered holder design: The conical shape allows different machine designs and sizes to be suspended securely.
Ideal for Festool sanders: Particularly useful for eccentric sanders, ROTEX sanders and other suitable sanding or polishing tools.
Improved workstation organisation: Keeps frequently used machines off the floor and within easy reach.
Designed for the Festool system: Integrates directly with compatible CT-ASA boom arm configurations.
Professional workflow accessory: Especially valuable at fixed sanding and polishing workstations where machines are changed frequently.

Features

Dual tool capacity: Provides two separate positions for suspending compatible electric or pneumatic tools.
Strong steel construction: Manufactured from substantial steel for a stable and durable professional accessory.
Conical support geometry: Tapered tool-support sections accommodate different compatible machine shapes.
Tool-free clamping: Attaches to the boom arm using an integrated clamping screw.
Open-frame construction: Allows tools to be placed into and removed from the holder quickly during normal work.
System integration: Designed specifically to complement the Festool CT-ASA dust-extraction boom arm system.
Ergonomic tool positioning: Keeps machines conveniently positioned near the operator rather than on the floor or another work surface.

Benefits

Cleaner workstation: Giving each tool a dedicated parking position helps reduce clutter around the work area.
Safer tool storage: Tools can be securely suspended instead of being left on the floor where they may be knocked, stepped on or become a trip obstruction.
Faster machine changes: Frequently used sanders or polishers remain close at hand, making it quicker to move between machines during multi-stage work.
Protects valuable tools: A dedicated holder reduces the need to place power tools on unsuitable surfaces between operations.
Supports efficient sanding systems: Works naturally with the CT boom arm to keep tools and extraction equipment organised around the workstation.
Flexible machine storage: The tapered design allows the holder to accommodate a variety of suitable tool body designs rather than being restricted to one specific machine.
No complicated installation: The clamping arrangement allows straightforward mounting without a separate tool kit.

Why add a tool holder to the boom arm?

A Festool CT boom arm already helps organise the extraction hose and associated connections above the working area. Adding the WHR/CT-ASA extends this organised workstation concept by providing a dedicated location for the machines themselves. The operator can finish an operation, park the tool and immediately reach for the next machine without placing equipment on the floor or cluttering the work surface.

Designed for different machine shapes

The WHR/CT-ASA does not rely on a precisely moulded cradle for one particular machine. Instead, Festool uses tapered support geometry that allows different suitable machines to be suspended. This makes the holder especially practical in sanding environments where an eccentric sander, ROTEX sander or pneumatic machine may be alternated during the finishing process.

A more ergonomic workstation

Repeatedly bending down to pick up and put down tools can become inconvenient during long sanding sessions. Positioning the machines on the boom arm keeps them at a more convenient working height and within easy reach, supporting a smoother and more systematic workflow.

Part of the Festool dust-extraction system

The WHR/CT-ASA is designed as a system accessory rather than a universal standalone rack. When installed on the appropriate CT-ASA boom arm, it helps create an integrated workstation where tool storage, hose management and dust extraction work together.

Pro Tips

Position the holder at a convenient height and orientation before fully tightening the clamping screw.
Arrange frequently alternated machines on separate sides of the holder so each tool can be identified and reached quickly.
Before releasing a tool, check that it is seated securely on the tapered support and cannot slip from the holder.
Keep extraction hoses and power or compressed-air lines routed so they do not pull against a stored machine.
Periodically inspect the clamping screw and mounting point to ensure the holder remains firmly attached to the boom arm.
Remove accumulated sanding dust from the holder regularly to maintain a clean professional workstation.

How to Use

Confirm that the installed Festool boom arm is compatible with the WHR/CT-ASA tool holder.
Select a suitable mounting position on the boom arm where the stored machines will remain conveniently accessible.
Position the WHR/CT-ASA tool holder at the required mounting point.
Secure the holder using the integrated clamping screw, tightening it sufficiently to prevent unwanted movement.
Check that the holder is stable before placing any power tools onto it.
Place a suitable electric or pneumatic tool securely into one of the tapered support positions.
Use the second position for another compatible machine when required.
Ensure hoses, cables and compressed-air lines are arranged so that they do not pull the stored tools from the holder.
Before beginning work again, lift the required tool securely from the holder and check its cable, hose and extraction connections.
