Festool WCR 1000 WH Double Tool Hook
At a Glance: Strong metal double tool hook for the Festool WCR 1000 Workcenter and UCR 1000 Universalcenter, designed to securely store two power or pneumatic tools and also double as a convenient suction hose holder.
Keep the tools you are actively using organised, protected and always within easy reach with the Festool WCR 1000 WH Tool Hook. Designed specifically for the Festool WCR 1000 Workcenter and UCR 1000 Universalcenter, this sturdy metal accessory provides two V-shaped hanging positions for storing power tools, pneumatic tools or other suitable workshop equipment directly at your mobile workstation. It is particularly useful during sanding work, allowing sanders to be suspended safely instead of being placed down on their abrasive surfaces. This helps protect the abrasive, sanding pad and finished workpiece while keeping the machine immediately available for the next operation. The WCR 1000 WH is equally useful as a holder for an extraction hose, preventing the hose from being left on the floor or draped awkwardly over other equipment. Durable metal construction, protective contact areas and the required fastening material supplied with the hook make it a simple but extremely practical addition to an organised Festool workstation.
The WCR 1000 WH turns unused space on your Festool Workcenter into a convenient tool-storage point. Instead of repeatedly placing machines on a bench, floor or abrasive surface, two tools can be suspended securely from the V-shaped hook. The same hook can also support a suction hose, helping keep the workstation tidy and reducing clutter around the working area.
Product highlights
- Holds two tools: Two separate V-shaped hanging positions provide convenient storage for compatible power or pneumatic tools.
- Ideal for sanders: Allows sanding machines to be suspended rather than placed directly on their abrasive surfaces.
- Helps protect abrasives: Keeping a sander off its abrasive can help prevent premature damage, contamination and unnecessary abrasive wear.
- Suction hose holder: The hook can also be used to neatly store a suitable extraction hose when it is not in use.
- Tools remain close at hand: Frequently used machines stay right beside the workstation instead of disappearing beneath benches or among other equipment.
- Secure V-shaped supports: The hook geometry accommodates different machine shapes and provides dependable hanging support.
- Protective contact areas: Rubberised end caps help protect tools and accessories while they are being placed on or removed from the hook.
- Strong metal construction: Manufactured in a sturdy and durable metal design for regular professional workshop use.
- Fastening material included: The required mounting components are supplied with the tool hook.
- Festool system accessory: Designed specifically to expand and organise the WCR 1000 Workcenter and UCR 1000 Universalcenter.

Benefits

- Faster workflow: Machines stay immediately within reach, reducing time spent searching for or retrieving tools between operations.
- Protects sanding abrasives: Suspending a sander prevents its abrasive surface from resting against a bench, floor or other potentially damaging surface.
- Reduces workshop clutter: The same accessory can support an extraction hose instead of allowing it to lie across the floor or workstation.
- Improves tool care: Dedicated hanging storage reduces the chances of machines being knocked over or placed on unsuitable surfaces.
- Makes better use of the Workcenter: Adds useful vertical storage without taking up additional floor space.
- Suitable for different machines: The V-shaped supports allow various compatible power and pneumatic tools to be suspended securely.
- Built for professional use: The robust metal construction is designed for repeated workshop and jobsite handling.
Application
- Storing two power tools on the Festool WCR 1000 Workcenter.
- Storing compatible pneumatic tools.
- Hanging sanders safely between sanding operations.
- Keeping abrasives away from dirty or damaging surfaces.
- Storing a dust-extraction hose at the workstation.
- Organising frequently used tools around a mobile workstation.
- Professional sanding and finishing workstations.
- Painting and automotive finishing environments using pneumatic tools.
- Furniture and cabinetmaking workshops.
- Joinery and woodworking workshops.
- Mobile installation and jobsite workstations.
Extra Information
- Why hang a sander? Placing a sanding machine down directly on its abrasive can damage or contaminate the abrasive. Dirt or hard particles trapped against the abrasive can later scratch a finished workpiece. Suspending the machine avoids contact between the abrasive and the work surface.
- Two-tool capacity: The WCR 1000 WH has two V-shaped support arms, allowing two suitable machines to be kept ready for immediate use.
- Useful during multi-stage sanding: When working with two machines fitted with different abrasive grits or sanding systems, both can remain conveniently suspended and ready for quick changes between operations.
- Also a hose holder: When a second tool-storage position is not required, the hook provides a convenient place to suspend the extraction hose.
- V-shaped support: The open V-shaped geometry allows different tool body and handle shapes to rest securely on the hook rather than requiring a tool-specific cradle.
- Durable construction: Festool uses a sturdy metal structure so the accessory can withstand repeated loading and unloading in a professional workplace.
- Protective ends: Rubberised protective areas help minimise marking or damage where tools contact the hook.
- Part of the Workcenter concept: The WCR 1000 system is designed to keep tools, abrasives, hoses and accessories organised around a compact mobile workstation so the items required for the current job remain close to the operator.
Good workshop organisation is not only about appearance. Keeping tools in predictable positions reduces unnecessary movement, helps protect equipment and makes repetitive work flow more smoothly. The WCR 1000 WH provides a simple dedicated place for the machines or hose currently being used, while leaving shelves and other storage surfaces free for abrasives, accessories and work materials.
Pro Tips
- When sanding through several grit stages, hang two sanders fitted with different abrasives on the WCR 1000 WH to make switching between sanding stages quicker.
- Avoid putting a sander down on its abrasive, especially on a dusty workbench. A single hard particle trapped in the abrasive can produce deep scratches on the next workpiece.
- Use one side of the hook for your most frequently used tool and the other for the extraction hose when only one machine is required.
- Keep the V-shaped contact areas clean so abrasive dust and workshop debris do not transfer onto machine housings or hoses.
- Arrange the Workcenter so the hook is positioned on the side that gives you the easiest access without interfering with your normal working movement.
- Check that a machine sits securely in the V-shaped hook before releasing it, particularly when storing unusually shaped tools.
- Do not overload the hook with boxes, containers or unrelated heavy objects. Use it for its intended tool and hose storage functions.
- Inspect the mounting hardware occasionally, particularly on mobile Workcenters that are frequently transported between jobsites.
How to Use
- Select the desired mounting position on the compatible WCR 1000 Workcenter or UCR 1000 Universalcenter.
- Position the WCR 1000 WH correctly against the intended mounting point.
- Install the tool hook using the supplied fastening material in accordance with the Festool Workcenter instructions.
- Tighten the fastening components securely and confirm that the hook cannot move or rotate unexpectedly.
- Before hanging a machine, switch the tool off and allow all moving components to come to a complete stop.
- Place the machine carefully into one of the V-shaped supports and confirm that it is stable before releasing it.
- Use the second support for another suitable machine or for storing the extraction hose.
- Before moving or transporting the Workcenter, remove tools if there is any possibility that they could fall from the open hooks during movement.
- Periodically inspect the tool hook and fastening components for looseness, damage or excessive wear.
