Support for Festool hoses #17

Hello! It would be very cool to add support for Festool hosts. They have locking tabs, which is a little different from everything else.

That should be doable. Do they all have the same connector or are there many styles? I have a Festool track saw so can test on that.

As far as I know, they have two kinds of connectors: for smaller machinery and for bigger ones. Vacuum hoses ends are compatible with both: For instance, jigsaw CARVEX have a small one it "inserts" into the hose end; Track saws on the other hand (like TSC 55) have a bigger one, which have a hole for the hose end and lock tabs accordingly.

There is also vaccum-side connector, but it is just a tube without any features.

Can't find exact specs with all the sizes, but maybe you can look up for existing models: https://www.printables.com/search/models?q=festool%20vacuum
