Festool EXO 18-Basic ExoActive Exoskeleton

At a Glance: Active 18 V exoskeleton with up to 50 N / approx. 5 kg support force per arm for overhead and chest-height work

The Festool EXO 18-Basic ExoActive is a professional cordless exoskeleton designed to support the arms, shoulders and neck during demanding overhead and front-of-body work. Whether you are sanding ceilings, painting walls, installing panels, wallpapering, assembling components or working with hand tools for long periods, the EXO 18 helps take the strain out of repetitive raised-arm applications. Worn like a rucksack and powered by Festool's 18 V battery system, it provides active, adjustable support exactly where it is needed, allowing the user to work with more control, less fatigue and better focus throughout the job.

The ExoActive system provides targeted underarm support and can be adjusted to suit the working position. It is especially useful for trades where long periods of arm-raised work are part of the daily routine, helping to make tiring applications feel more manageable.
