hollow T-lock handle makes a great strap space

This might be the lamest "enhancement" but it helped me out.
I got home from work today with a systainer 4 packed with drill bit sets, it was heavy.
I also had my dog with me, and from experience carrying a systainer and walking her
is not a fun experience. The systainer invariably bangs against my leg.

I should mention I don't have a driveway, so I park on the street. Tonight I had two blocks to
walk with the systainer and the dog.

I looked at the T-lock handle and an extra dog leash I had in the car.
I thought if I could thread the leash through the handle it would make a handy strap.
The leash was thin enough and it made it through the handle. This will only work with the
thinner leashes, I think it's 3/4".

I can't say having the leash dig into my shoulder was comfortable, but it was a lot better than
holding the handle. If you used a strap with padding I'm sure it would make carrying a heavy systainer
a bit easier  [smile]

I'll chance a guess that is the intended purpose of those ~1" wide slots at the handle ends.  [unsure]

yes, but the leash would not fit through them  [big grin]

I know about the tanos straps, I almost bought some of them.
It's nice having the option to run the strap through the middle when you need to.

Awesome ! Now I can buy the wife a nice set of five different sized handbags ... and therefore a couple of matching sortainer jewelry boxes.

Not to mention the Sys5 picnic hamper  [smile]
