Festool 440404 Suction Brush

The Festool 440404 Suction Brush is a vacuum accessory built for surface cleaning, bench cleanup, and getting into cabinets or other tight spaces. This is a suction brush designed for wet and dry extraction. Model Number 440404. If you already use a Festool dust extractor and want a better way to clean work surfaces, shelves, trim, vehicle interiors, or shop fixtures, this accessory makes that job faster and more controlled than using an open hose end.

What matters here is the combination of a 70 mm diameter opening and a ring of bristles around the edge. The wider face covers more surface area than a narrow nozzle, while the bristles help keep the tool planted on the material as you move. In practical use, that means you can pull loose dust, chips, and debris from flat surfaces and textured areas without the nozzle grabbing too hard or skating around.

The fitment is straightforward. The Festool 440404 Suction Brush is made for D 27 and D 36 hoses and tubes, so it works within the Festool dust extraction system instead of feeling like a one-off accessory. That matters if you switch between hoses, cleanup tools, and dust extractor tasks throughout the day. You can keep the same extractor and hose platform, then swap over to the brush when the job changes from dust collection at the tool to cleanup around the workspace.

Festool lists this brush as suitable for wet and dry extraction, which gives it more flexibility than a cleanup accessory that is limited to dry dust only. In the shop or on site, that means it can handle more than just fine sawdust on a bench. It is a useful piece when you are cleaning up mixed debris around a work area, especially in spots where a floor nozzle is too bulky and a bare hose end is too aggressive.

Build-wise, this is a simple part, but the details are what make it useful. The body is plastic, keeping the weight down to about 0.2 lb, so it does not feel awkward on the end of a hose. The compact size helps when you are working inside cabinets, around installed hardware, or across surfaces where you want contact from the brush but do not want a bulky attachment getting in the way.

This vacuum brush makes the most sense for woodworkers, remodelers, installers, finish carpenters, and serious DIY users who already own a Festool extractor setup and want cleaner, more controlled cleanup. It is especially handy for dust extraction accessory use where the goal is not just collecting debris, but cleaning finished or semi-finished surfaces without beating them up. If you want a simple accessory that earns its keep every time you do final bench cleanup or interior cleanup, this is the kind of small add-on that gets used more than you think.
