Enjoy the freedom of cordless sanding without giving up the option of continuous mains-powered operation with the Festool ACA 220-240/18V Ergo Mains Adapter. Designed specifically for the Festool ETSC 125, RTSC 400 and DTSC 400 cordless sanders, this clever adapter fits directly into the tool's battery slot in place of the 18V Ergo battery pack.
