Festool vac hoses and many like hoses tend to have a lot of rings/bumps
along the length of the hose. The hose gets caught up on sharp edges,
non rounded, very easily. Always problematic when dragging the hose
over the edge of a project or work surface.
The fix works really well. With first use I never paid attention to the
hose as it caught on nothing.
Festool solution.

A roll of 3m linerless rubber splicing tape works to hold the ends in
place. And you need to heat the ends of the sleeve, after cutting, to
prevent fraying. I use an old soldering iron.

Yeah, I'm used to that. I've always needed larger sleeves to fit over my
my huge biceps.

I think that would be too large for this size sleeve. I barely will fit
over the larger / back end of the hose.
BUT! This stuff comes in all sizes.

What size hose does the 1.5" sleeve fit? Mine are 2..5". Will the 1.5" sleeve work?

I had the same question. The description says that the stuff will
expand up to 150%, so it'll expand to 2.25" (still enough for the hose
and cord?) Note that it'll be something like 30% shorter when
expanded. There are different sizes of this stuff, too. I noticed
others that are also similar things that are more of a foam sheet with
a Velcro strip closure.

Tell me it ain't so!! Using a cheap hack instead of the elegant
solution provided by Festool! I won't sleep a wink tonight, worrying
about you. Stay indoors, because you may get struck by a green
thunderbolt.

The specs sound right, the roll I got was plenty to do 2 hoses, maybe 3.

Those braided sleeves are typically rated at 150% expansion so 1.5" X
1.5 --> 2.25". _BUT_, that's a maximum that you can possibly manage to
get the sleeve over in my experience so you'd need to go up to larger
sleeve.
