Festool's Affordable Drill Dust Collection Nozzle
https://www.protoolreviews.com/tag/shootout/
Hilti makes amazing products. They are light weight, durable, properly supported by the company. They offer great dust collection as well. They are not cheap though. But I was just at a store yesterday and they are offering for 1000 that you can pick 5 of their tools. Just their cordless hammerdrill and vacuum is 800 by itself. I can't find the deal on line but just saw the flier at the store close to my work. If interested call them and ask. I am buying a set for work.
New OSHA laws have driven progress considerably. Makita one-upped Festool with an on-board HEPA vac so you don't need to manage a hose. It's nearly as light as the Festool BHC and it will let you run a chisel in it when you need to bust a tile out of a tight corner somewhere. https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XRH01ZVX
I might be wrong but the festool’s dust collector is probably made for their 27mm vacuum hose and will not fit a typical 1-7/8 or 2.5” hose typical to our shopvacs. You might need to buy an adapter, or 3d print one. Or buy the 350$ festool vac!
I admit to not having done any research, but I have the Makita HR2641X1 and it's pretty awesome. For the same specs and price as the Bosch, you get a free beefy angle grinder!
