Just a small point, but one that is annoying me.  According to the illustration on the underside of the TS 75 systainer, you should be able to slide the parallel guide straight down so that it is resting on its side and flush to the front wall.  Yet when I do this the lid will not close completely -- it's almost there, but not quite.  Fine, no big deal that I have to angle in the parallel guide to get it to fit.  But it seems a  bit weird that Festool would offer up an illustration for an unworkable operation.  I tested the fit with the foam removed, and found that you can get it in under the lid if it's slid all the way to the right, resting in that square depression in the bottom right corner.  But the foam covers that up when inserted.  Is there some obvious solution I'm not seeing?
 
It's funny you brought this up, because I just got my t18 set and it shows the charger in the picture in the opposite direction it actually fits.  If I put the charger in the way the picture shows it holds up the lid from closing. I wonder if it was just an accident by the camera man.
