Festool has developed a pretty unique tool with these wings.
Festool has developed a pretty unique tool with these wings. I have to admit I barely ever find myself using them due to the fact that I almost never work alone, but if you do find yourself working alone and needing another hand they are great. The photo makes these look pretty small so I was surprised when I opened the box and saw how large they were. They aren't going to hold a lot of weight so don't expect them to hold a 2X12 or anything like that, but they are strong enough to support a length of crown molding or a long level. The adjustable wings are nice for preventing whatever you are working with from falling off the support.

A helping hand
Amazing “little” device! It was of great help installing a long run of french cleat supports for some wall cabinets. Truly was like having a helping hand. Suction is more than strong enough for 8ft long 1x6 material and I imagine would work pretty well with longer boards or crown mounding. It’s not meant for heavy objects, but perfectly suited for lighter boards such as those mentioned above. Mind my installation was on a non-textured wall; I’ve not tested on textured walls yet.

Tried it with a shop vac just for fun and the shop vac I have must not have ...
Bought it because it's a novel concept. Turns out it works as advertised. Tried it with a shop vac just for fun and the shop vac I have must not have enough suction for the wing to work correctly. With my MIDi or CT26 it works awesome.

Works best on non porous surfaces

Looks gimmicky, but its not.
I have used this "extra hand" a few times already and it works great. Be sure the surface is somewhat dust free and it will adhere well.

Not for my shop vac.
I'm sure that this is a great product - if you own the Festool vac. I could not come up with a hose combination that would work so I returned the product.

Works with other Vacs
Works with my Ridge Vac just fine.

this will not hold well as it cannot make a good seal. Good idea
If your walls have any significant texture on them, this will not hold well as it cannot make a good seal. Good idea, but not over orange peel or textured walls

Nice little nifty attachment for my Midi hoover
Nice little nifty attachment for my Midi hoover. Does mark walls due to rubber design but more often than not I would use this on a project.

Festool simply good
I was a little sceptical of this but it works well and has got me out of a few holes.
