This is a drywall sander combo kit designed for wall and ceiling sanding, pairing the PLANEX LHS 2 225 long-reach sander with the CT 36 EI AC HEPA dust extractor, a pre-loaded abrasive Systainer, and an HSK-A hand sanding block for corners and edges — a Festool value set available in limited quantities while supplies last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PLANEX 2 itself runs an 8-1\/2 in. (220mm) interchangeable sanding pad under an 8-7\/8 in. (225mm) abrasive disc, driven by a 400-watt motor with an eccentric motion speed range of 5,000 to 8,500 RPM and a 3\/16 in. (4mm) sanding stroke. That stroke length and speed range are what let the tool cut through drywall compound quickly on rough passes while still finishing smooth enough for a paint-ready surface without swapping tools. At 55 in. (1.40m) long, it reaches ceiling seams and high wall sections from standing height, which is the main reason a long-reach sander earns its price over a standard random orbital — less ladder time, less strain from working overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust handling is where this bundle earns the \"system\" label rather than just being a sander with a vacuum attached. The included CT 36 EI AC extractor carries HEPA-rated filtration and Festool's AutoClean function, which automatically clears the filter during operation instead of relying on you to stop and manually knock dust loose. On a job that's producing a steady stream of fine drywall dust for hours, that automatic cleaning is what keeps suction from tapering off halfway through the session — weaker suction means more airborne dust and a dirtier job site, so the AutoClean function isn't a minor convenience, it's the thing that keeps the whole system working as advertised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pre-loaded abrasive Systainer (D225 GR NET HSK-A) keeps a range of Granat net abrasive discs organized and ready to grab by grit, so you're not digging through loose sandpaper mid-job when you move from a coarse pass to a finishing grit. The sander also ships with a Granat P180 five-pack, a guide extension, a hose clip, and hook-and-loop fastener hardware for the sanding pad — the accessories that actually get used on a real job, not just the bare tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSystem compatibility runs through Festool's interface pad and abrasive ecosystem — the 220mm interface pad and Granat abrasive discs in this set are sized specifically for the PLANEX 2's 8-1\/2 in. pad, and the 27\/36mm dust port on the sander matches standard Festool CT-series extractor hoses, including the kink-resistant D36x3.5 hose sold separately for extended reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy this set if you're doing regular drywall finishing work — new construction, remodels, patch repair — and want the sander, extraction, and abrasives sorted out in one purchase instead of assembling a system piece by piece. It's built for drywall finishers, painters prepping walls for finish, and general contractors who take on their own drywall work. If your sanding needs are occasional and small-scale, a standard random orbital sander will cover it for less; this bundle is for crews who are sanding walls and ceilings often enough that reach, dust control, and abrasive organization actually matter to the bottom line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-whats-included\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tnincluded-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLANEX LHS 2 225 Long-Reach Drywall Sander (575994) — includes guide extension, hose clip, hook-and-loop fastener hardware, 8-1\/2 in.
