Another use for a Systainer, now that the sweets are gone.

Keeps the little bits from my MFS together. Not the booby prize after all, better than a pencil.

Where'd you get the MicroSystainer?

It's one of the prizes from the Festool UK, Service All Inclusive, Scratchcard giveaway.

Those look like Mini Systainers to me, not the micro.

If you want micro's, Lee Valley has them: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=70828&cat=1,43326,68749

Not sure if Festool ever did a Festool branded micro.  I think the micro is a knock-off product, not actually made by Tanos.

It's different to those by Lee Valley, the size is different, the shape is different and looking at them I do believe these will lock together, which the Lee Valley Ones don't.

Size is 104mm x 65mm x 31mm

There are two little hooks on the back feet (to fit in the back of the handle recess), and there is a locking tab at the front base for the T-Loc latch to lock over.

This is a Micro Systainer, the Mini Systainer is (L x W x H) 265mm x 171mm x 71 mm a giant in comparison.

Now I know what to ask for for my stocking stuffer.

What do you mean micro! That's a regular size systainer, that MFS is massive!

As in business card size haha they are cool

Some stores sell them to hold gift cards as well as small parts.

I thought the micro-sys boxes were recently re-designed so they could latch together.  I haven't seen the new ones in person, yet.  I did see this micro-mini set on Friday when I was checking out the sale.

Pretty sure the green micros that Woodcraft is selling do latch together. I'm heading there in a few minutes, I'll double check and report back later today.

Just got back from Woodcraft and can confirm that the green micros do latch together just like their big brothers.

I saw the green set a woodcraft.  I love systainers, but I cant see how a micro systainer will be beneficial for me.

I agree, but I thought the same thing about the Twinbox screwdriver bit holder when I was given one for free.  Now that I've been using it for three years, I can't imagine not having one (or two).
