I was getting tired of using the cardboard boxes the rails came in to transport my guide rails to and from jobsite (not to mention they started to get a little ratty) so I threw this together. I know it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it works great and I don't have to handle my rails with kid gloves every time I take them in and out of my truck.

I'm a big fan of the tote. Although I'm glad I bought mine a few years ago when it cost a good bit less. Like Shane said, it fits two 1400mm (55") rails in the main compartment and there is a pocket/pouch on the side that will fit two 800mm (32") rails. I sometimes carry my MFS profiles in the pocket instead. I wrote a very short review on the tote, you can check it out on my site. |

Remember that there are two Festool guide rail carriers. BAG-FS, Order No 466357. This is the "standard" bag:  The FS-BAG-PA, Order No 496940: The FS-BAG-PA is a new bag, and was discussed at length at Is this will be sold in US -- >> KRS-BAG & FS-BAG-PA including possible availability in the USA.

Forrest, must be an old picture of bag 466357, OR you all have a different version across the pond. The bag I see (and own) has a large, long pocket to hold the FS800, but no little zippered exterior pocket.  Interesting, it appears the one you posted a picture of has some sort of retention straps inside, whereas the one I have does not have any such straps (or I'm blind). |

Agreed - at first sight there seems to be two versions of the 466357 bag. The one in my picture (the diagonal one) appears to have a zippered pocket, but it's not clear whether the strap is a carrying strap or an inside retaining strap that is trying to escape! My image comes from the Festool UK website. The photo that you and Shane supplied seems to have a long pocket with a Velcroed flap, which is probably able to hold an FS800 rail. The right-hand strap seems to be for carrying the bag, but the purpose of the left-hand strap isn't clear. Your image is the same as the one on the Festool USA website. This inside image come from www.outlettools.com but it isn't clear which bag it represents:  I think it most likely that the zipped pouch bag in "my" photo has been superseded by the Velcroed bag in "your" photo. Has anyone got the bag with the zip? Forrest |

You are correct about the large "pocket' which is sized for the FS800... or anything up to the FS1400 is you don't mind it sticking out. ;-) The right hand strap in my photo is the hand-carrying strap. The left one is an adjustable shoulder strap. They are both actually attached on the same side (the one side with the zippers and the hand straps), it just is folded under in the photo. |

The 'original' bag (the one I have) is zipped on one end & one long edge. It has a large, velcroed pocket on the outside to hold 800 rails. It has two sets of straps - one hand carrying strap (on the right in the picture posted by Shane) and a shoulder strap that runs the full length of the bag (seen on the left of Shane's picture).
Due to the zipper only going on 2 sides, it can sometimes be tricky to get the rails in correctly, so it was re-designed.
The 'newer' version is zipped on one long edge and BOTH ends, as seen in Forrest's pictures. This makes it much easier to get the rails in, as it can be fully folded open.
I don't know the respective part numbers, but I hope that clears it up a little.

I got a couple of 466357's in a shipment the other day. I just looked at them and they are like the blue one in Forrest's post.
They have a zipper pocket on the outside that isn't long enough to hold an 800 but could be used for some clamps, guide rail connectors, and/or something similar.
They have a shoulder strap, and two handles that velcro together from either side of the main zipper.

The zippered shoulder bag comes "free" with every 1400/TS-55 purchase over here. my distributor tried to give me an extra one for Christmas a few years back, but i didn't need two of the same so I politely asked for a Rotex watch instead.
I'm waiting for a bag for the MFS profiles, those are really delicate and I've already nicked one of them.

I dont know why they changed them, mine was bought back in 2007 and is the type with the 800 rail pocket on the outside. My dealer got some of the new ones in before christmas and he was saying the were rubbish nowhere near as good as the old type. If it aint broke dont fix it Festool  |

Hrrm... I just saw one of the "old" type at my Woodcraft when I popped in yesterday (and left with the LR32 1080... oops  ) If anyone has a serious hankering for the style with the big exterior, flapped pocket let me know and I'll pick it up. Actual cost ($89.50 + tax) + shipping to you, and not a cent more. Not exactly a "deal", but if you're set on getting that tote... |

make your own
Here's my tote. I have two 55" rails and made this one for $40. I used some of that old home eco knowledge. I added two pockets for clamps and the middle one for the guide rail connectors and a small screw driver. I will probably make something similar when I get around to getting a 117" rail.

That's nice, I just don't find sewing that enjoyable.

Neither do I but the ends justifies it. Just like many jigs, I find it better to make my own since then I get exactly what I'm looking for. You could also probably use a ski bag or some other things like that.

Don't mind sewing either, but since I had some 1/4" ply and some leftover poplar I made a tote out of wood, not nylon. The cost was great too. Zero dollars.
