A sys storage box for my drills

Excuse me in advance, french/english google translate...

Hello.

I'm posting here my box dedicated to my screwdrivers, which I've been using for almost a year.

It started with the purchase of a badly damaged sys storage box, for 15 euros I think.

It was a must: no more transparent covers, but above all, a lot of grease, a lot of grease... it came from an auto repair shop, I think.

Okay, I managed to clean it acceptably.

So, what to do with it? It's our disease, us Festoolfans, reorganizing our tools by moving them from one systainer to another, always hoping to find something better...

I tried to see what would fit: domino, sanders, etc.

The good thing about the sys storage box, especially without its covers, is the immediate access. And what tools do I use the most? My drills and their accessories.

Here's the result. Not yet completely finished, obviously destined to evolve, etc.

The price to pay was to drill a hole for the output of each of my TXS and CXS 12, otherwise, it wouldn't fit. Sacrilege... but hey, with a case saved from ruin, it's more acceptable...

It doesn't quite fit, the charger is a bit high to fit in the bottom compartment.

Green Festool Plexiglas, round magnets at the bottom of the holes to hold the drill bits, magnetic strips to hold the chucks.

In use, it's great.

Everything is accessible. And since it's accessible, I'm more inclined to put things back where they belong...

@evidenttools Can you see any reason why the middle divider couldn't be entirely (or very near entirely) cut/bored out? I've been looking at a SYS-SB for a similar application, but the base being bisected into two compartments is really impeding the width I need for a certain tool.
 
To cut the interior divisions, you should try! Personally, I would keep a strip at the bottom of around 10 mm to make an angle to keep the rigidity of the bottoms
