Festool Exoskeleton ExoActive EXO 18 HPC 4.0 I-Plus

Painters, drywallers, construction workers, electricians, and anyone who does overhead work can most likely agree on one thing — their profession is extremely strenuous on their body. Festool set out to create a product that would not only lessen the strain that comes from these physically demanding jobs, but would also keep workers in commission a lot longer. Thus, the ExoActive was born.

The ExoActive Exoskeleton makes light work of strenuous overhead tasks. Whether sanding drywall compound, painting, wallpapering, or performing installation on walls or ceilings, the ExoActive gives you a boost so your arms don't get tired. Less physical exertion means greater efficiency, better focus on the quality of your work, and more enjoyment from what you do.

You can regulate the required power on the exoskeleton to get targeted support exactly where it's needed. Whether from the waist up, at chest height, or overhead, you can set where you would like support and the level in a matter of seconds. The ExoActive is lightweight and easy to wear, just like a backpack, and can also be adjusted to your individual height.

Get relief when working overhead. The support provided by the ExoActive makes it easier to avoid overexertion. The ExoActive reduces the load on the front of your shoulder muscles by up to 30%*. This means that work feels up to one third easier. (*This data has been determined through application tests and may vary under deviating conditions.)

The ExoActive provides each underarm with an added boost of up to 50 N - equal to approximately 11 lbs. By way of comparison, the PLANEX LHS 2 225 Sander weighs 10.4 lbs. The ExoActive is as easy to put on as a backpack, Combined with the harness system, it can be adapted to your individual height quickly and simply.

Because applications vary, the level of support provided by the ExoActive can be adjusted. You can set the support you need at any given moment by turning the controller attached to the vest, always at reach. The exoskeleton has three predefined working areas for effortless control: from the waist up, from the chest up, or overhead. The Festool Work App can also be used to select additional profiles for optimal support.

All of the ExoActive's fabric and strap parts are removable and washable. You can purchase as many extra harnesses and headrests as you need for your crew - this makes it easier and more sanitary for multiple people to use the exoskeleton. The ExoActive is powered by an 18V battery for full reliability and fast charging. Even battery packs and chargers are fully covered by Festool's warranty.
