Disappointed with Festool Systainers

I love the concept.  I love the organization.  However the quality of these boxes do not represent Festool quality.  ...... Very disappointing.

I gotta agree with you.  I want Tanos to make the systainers out of a tougher plastic.  The plastic they currently use is a bit brittle.  One thing the blow mold cases that more common tools come in is that those blow molded cases are TOUGH.

But they are in a bind now.  The dimensions of the systainers are set....if they thicken the walls of the systainers, you'd lose space inside.

My guess is that the Tanos systainers were the best choice when Festool decided to start selling their tools in a storage system.  Not the perfect choice, but the best choice of what was available/feasible at the time of the decision.

Saying da they brought out T-loc and they ain't changed anything and they had the chance when they designed the new T-loc so obviously they still think it's the rite choice now. Any way you would hardly notice the size difference internally wa u thinking they increase the wall thickness by 1inch!? just 0.5 or 1 mm would make a massive difference in strength which would only make the internal  only 1 or 2mm smaller which is nothing.
