All this talk about kaizen foam made me want to go and organize some more systainers today. I think the pen that fastcap offers works great. It allows me to mark clearly around the item with a crisp line and it only costs a whole $5. People spend more on coffees than that pen cost. Any breakaway knife will work. I like using a breakaway knife best because you can choose your depth of cut by how much blade is exposed. The fastcap one is $3 not expensive at all so I would add one to my order of kaizen foam if I didn't already have one.
I moved my woodpecker setup block to a mini sys I had. I also used 2p10 and glued a piece of foam to the lid to keep things from moving
Set up my hilti impact in a sys 2

Dam you! I wanted some woodpecker stuff a bit ago! Them setup blocks where one off many woodpecker items I wanted [crying] [crying]. Unfortunallity the uk dealer for woodpeckers is useless! A complete waist of time! I had £600 budget to spend on woodpecker stuff he got £0 of it! But I also got 0 woodpecker stuff [sad] but I refuse to deal with him again.

Sorry to kick up an old thread, but I just realised some of the UK Foggers might be interested in some FastCap Kaizen Foam. At the moment I have some small sheets and am expecting full stock in a couple of weeks.
Not on our website yet, drop me a line if you would like some.
Also, JMB, I know what you mean about Woodpeckers. I've been trying to get them to talk to me for months. They just ignore me. I'm now looking into getting some similar items made here in the UK

That would be good! If they can copy some of the woodpeckers tools do their entire range but a UK version would be mint! Can't see why a company can't do the same in UK
They won't contact you? Crap company then. The UK dealer who sells the woodpecker tools in UK is also crap. Very annoying old man lazy as heck. You ask if he has a woodpecker square or something he has to come back to you which can take a full day even the next day for him to call you and say no but then to tell you what he does have this and that. Well i didn't ask for them!!!!. So you ask if he has something else you get an answer I'll have to come back to you on that and see if I have it so another day waiting! He asks for yoru email and sends you the list of woodpecker stuff. So you think that's what he has in! You call him up about 60% of it he does not have. Why the bloody heck does he not put that on the email out of stock or something!
You call him up before 8 oclock and you get a grumpy man telling you off for calling him up to early he was sleeping! Well why use your house phone number then for your business! Crazy! How was I suppose to know he works nights and sleep during the day doesn't say that on his website.

Hehe I know exactly what you mean. In fact I started my business because of him. He frustrated me so much I set out to do what he's doing, only A LOT better.
I'll see what I can do on the Woodpeckers stuff. Certainly I couldn't get the whole range manufactured at once. But little by little would be good.
Can you anodise in green? ;D

Funny you say that! I was thinking at one point doing it my self! Either import the woodpecker stuff or get the stuff made.
Got a metal fabrication factory just up the road from me I know the owner but I ended up knocking it on the head when I started thinking about it in detail! Got enough on my plate!
Yeah gotta be anodised! Green would be good [big grin]. I like bright orange also [tongue]
Can't wait to see what you get made! And I hope you will do ALOT better job! Just telling me if you have something in stock and the price while I'm on the phone. Is 1000% better!

Have you emailed Richard Hummel at Woodpecker directly?? I've found him to be very responsive to ideas or feedback. He's a great guy.
If there are issues with UK distributors, I'd think he would want to know.
Given the craft he has demonstrated and the ideas he has developed, I'm sure he's probably patented some of them. Far easier to email than figure out how to replicate his work locally.
Richard@woodpeck.com is his email address.

I see all of these pristine kaizen inserts and asks myself "self, do these people actually use their tools?" But seriously, how about some pictures of this foam after its been used for a while, and has dust and debris on/in it. My systainers stay somewhat clean, but they do collect dust inside from day to day use...how does this foam wear?

My sortainer drawer that holds my cxs is still going strong, I like the foam because it holds the tools neatly and I can see at a glance if I forgot an accessory on the job site. I have no issues with the kaizen foam wearing and my cxs gets used just about 5 days a week. I will post a pic tomorrow.

We carry fastcap products, and are going to be ordering some foam shortly. If you want, please send us an email with your request. We are shut down for a day or two since Hurricane Sandy hit us hard.
Which thickness and color of foam were you looking for?

Nice material.
I also like having my tools organized. On the web I found an interesting description of making nice foam installs for regular drawers.

It'll probably not work for more complex shapes like drills or charger.
I never tried it myself, but on day I will...
