POWERTEC 496187 Self-Clean Filter Bag for Festool CT 26-5PK, Compatible with CT26, CT26 E, CTL26, CTM26 Dust Extractors (75037)

I’ve been using these self-clean filter bags in my Festool CT MINI and CT MIDI (2019+), and they fit perfectly. Installation is straightforward, with no wrestling or “almost fits” nonsense. Once installed, they seal properly and don’t collapse or clog like cheaper aftermarket bags. The self-cleaning function actually works — airflow stays strong even during longer sanding and cutting sessions, and I’m not constantly stopping to check suction. Dust containment is excellent, which is especially noticeable with fine sanding dust. They feel well-made and durable, and I haven’t experienced tearing or leaks. These are a great alternative to OEM bags if you want reliable performance without sacrificing your vacuum’s efficiency. If you rely on your dust extractor and want consistent suction and clean operation, these are absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

These bags work so great. They are a really good price. The bags are strong and never tore on me.

We use these with the planex drywall Sander. Just as good as the festool for 1/2 the price. Been using these for a long time. Festool is $50 for 5, these are the same.

These are almost identical to the festool bags but the dust guard always tears when sealing the hole. No matter how gently I try sliding the pull tab it fails to seal the bag before disposal. The price is great and I use them in my Ridgid 16 gallon vacuum and my Metabo hepa vacuum.

Works really well in my CT15.

Works great in my Festool CT Midi II

Fine replacement bags

Drip in replacement for OEM product. Will buy again when needed.

Works perfectly

Good value a d function

These work just like the name brand ones. Save your money and get these! I have CT 36 AC and they fit perfectly.

Good value.

Works perfectly, arguably even better somehow. Mostly used on new construction.
