So, this is the place to field such questions. [big grin]

Question:
Are these (toolbags) a Tanos product or are they specifically available through BTI?
I ask because I wasn't aware that BTI actually manufactured such things, and, secondly,
despite seeing and touching and feeling systainers for many years, I wasn't aware that
there was more to them than sliced foam and square plastic parts trays until yesterday.
Thank you to Lee Valley and Felder and BTI and not to Festool, nor Festool literature, nor Tanos of USA
(although I finally did manage to discover the bounty of english information at the .de domain?).
Strike that, my local dealer did have one of those plywood multitool holder stuffed in a box
contraptions. It completely defeats the purpose. 2 seconds to think about it. Still
need to think about it?
"No more digging around for the right tool", says the 11/12 catalog. The irony there is
I merely have to dig out ALL of the tools to retrieve (and vice versa) almost half of them.
From a watertight box. What is the point of this product?
Furthermore, since Festool and Tanos are available in the states. Why must I venture off to Canada
to discover things such as the 3-sided lid insert?
Lastly, why must I come to an end-user internet forum to find out about existing products from a
company that literally advertises directly to me at least twice a week? That's how often I visit various Festool
dealers. Now, surely, I'd have known about the tool pallets for the lids, years ago....Via the end-user/evangelist internet forum.
Absolutely ridiculous. [unsure]
Soooooo, first post! Nice to meet you all. I apologize for coming across as a total prick. I'm aware that appropriate employees and vendors read these forums, and that's why I trailed off into what seems as a complaint storm. However, I'm not actually complaining. Show me a point that isn't valid, I'll show you...erm...I'll mow the grass in a dress. That's always a good one.
Seriously, A systainer with a 3 sided lid attachment, two of those BTI pallets and a pair of mini systainers
would make for a killer hand-tool storage solution. That solution has existed for a while. It's also around $200.
Which isn't bad in comparison to other solutions I was looking at. One store I shop
at has systainers in both the Festool section and in the case/storage section. So why is this news to me?
Why do I need to order from three different countries to make it happen? And you have an angle grinder tray?
And you have a power drill tray? Annnnnd....if it wasn't for Lee Valley....I wouldn't know that you can stack these trays (although I don't want to).
So, what's up? [big grin]
I don't want answers to all of these questions, I merely need one.
Those BTI Pouches; I'm in the states, where do they come from, where do I get them?
The rest I dug up all by myself. [tongue]
