"failure is imminent"


« on: December 26, 2009, 12:09 PM »

I'm sure someone has said this before; It would be nice to have a picture on the inside cover of the systainers that clearly show how to put all the accessories back in place correctly. I have never been able to replace the OF2000 and OF1400 with extra doodads back in their proper configuration with the packing foam.

Yes, I'd like to see that too.

However, there is at least one Systainer that does have a picture - the one for the reasonably recently-introduced MFK700. In his excellent review of the MFK700, Brice Burrell has a few photos of the inside of the systainer and says...

"The card attached to the lid of the Systainer is something we are familiar with, I for never paid much attention to it. But take a closer look at the lower right corner.... If you have ever struggled to get the tool, its parts, cord and of the accessories back in, good news. Festool has finally decided to add a picture of all the "stuff" properly placed in the Systainer, thank you Festool."

(I haven't reproduced the photo here - head over to Brice's review to see it)
 
It is possible that Festool have recently started supplying layout photos with their newly-introduced power tools. Has anyone got any other Systainers with these useful layout photos inside the lid?

Forrest,

I believe you are correct in that newer products will have pictures illustrating how the systainer looks packed.  I did a search and couldn't find out where that was posted, but I believe Germany is now integrating those photos.  Somewhere here there is a mention in a post.  Or maybe I am imagining things again.   Scared  Of course it may take time to filter down to the end users based on volume of sales etc.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day.  The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy.  They also were in the minority.  Their complaint:  They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in.  I guess the truth hurts.
