Ronn W Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I only make promises that I can keep. ......... No more new tools this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 For my frequency into the systainers, I like having them in the shop. The bits and pieces that go with some of them make that storage much easier. Frankly, for my shop, the systainer is simply the best storage option. That's not to say it's for everyone but, it's best for me and my work flow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did then, my current storage system would simply not work and I'd be forced to come up with something different. Here's hoping they don't come up with another game changer like the domino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are well thought out. They hold the tool snuggly but also have enough room that you can randomly throw bits and pieces in. Not like those blow-molded cases that come with DIY gear. With those who have to have a PhD in engineering to make things fit and have the case close. Agreed! As well as the fact that those other cases don't play nice together! All those other cases in my shop have been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love that Festool gives you instructions on the underside of the lid for all the guys that are used to the regular cases that are impossible to figure out.

It's all just black magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Love my Festools...don't really need the cases though. If the cases didn't have a cool name I'm pretty sure they'd be in the same plastic scrap pile as the porter cable router case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I guess I didn't know what you did for a living @shaneymack, seems to me if you use those tools for your job then it's a good business decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 So you actually use your personal tools at your job? I thought you worked for a large company? Well the only actual labour I do now is deficiences before delivery and service calls, depending what it is. I have every tool available at my disposal for that for sure. I use my personal tools on my side jobs. If there is something I don't have that I need ( jack hammer, concrete saw, powder actuated nailer) I just borrow from the company.
