Doing a job in philly at a luxury highrise condo. Parking is extremely difficult but there is a parking garage 3 blocks away which is where I plan to park for the next 4 days! I have every tool i'll need and im having all the equipment drop shipped to the clients home.The sys roll cart has been the single best "accessory tool" i have purchased, especially for these types of jobs  [big grin]

7 Systainers (various tools)
1 sys-roll cart
1 CT-26
1 4ft ladder
3 sys minis
1 level
4 dropcloths
1sys-lite

all in a clubman S! best off all, i don't have to deal with parking my van and feeding the meter every 2 hours ;)

Winning!


 
Good to see the wing mirrors and brakes are festool green. [big grin] [big grin]
 
I have the same car. I'm always amazed at what fits in it. The MFT/3 fits like a glove FYI, then that gives you a nice surface to stack everything. I play drums as well and I can fit my entire drum set with room to spare.

Actually in the 2 1/2 years ive had it this is the first time ive really loaded up the mini. I was shocked how much crap (non festool stuff like cables etc) fit in there after i took those pictures. I do have to say after 3 days of working out of her i cant wait to go back to my work van :)

We finished the job a day early, I can honestly say it is because i was able to fit my tools into the mini and not have to drive around for hours looking for parking and not having to feed the meter every two hours helps tremendously. The sys roll cart is amazing, i just wish they had fitted it with pneumatic tires over the hard plastic ones.

When you were going there for the first time in the day, were you taking everything with you on one trip to the job location?

I've got to tell you, it would scare me to death if I was leaving tools in my car subject to theft while I was ferrying them back and forth.

My helper and I were able to make it all in one trip. Nothing was left in my car! The sys roll cart was what made being able to bring everything up to the condo in one trip possible!

It was funny seeing the looks on the street and in the elevators. Quite a few comments here and there to wondering what it was. My favorite was when we were in the garages elevator 3 high profile business guys got into the elevator, stopped talking stared at the cart and looked at us and asked in all seriousness "you guys arnt some type of hazmat cleanup crew are you?"  [scared]  [big grin]
 
I wish I had photos of my honda accord with the back seat down, I used to load sheets of ply ripped to 24" and hardwood in it. Now with my civic I still load hardwood in it when I stop by on my way home from work.
