When it became apparent that they guy that is managing the installs of the cabinets I sell didn't have the capacity to handle all of the installs he was responsible for, I decided to get my install stuff ready for the heavier workload prior to the holidays. Now that I had systainers on the shelf, I couldn't help but transition from plastic wholesaler tubs to systainers. The sale minis were first, then after going on site a few times I used the SYS-4 from my TS 55 to haul everything, then I cracked and bought an empty and the SYS-1 organizer box.

I didn't have a big screw assortment to put in the organizer, everything in it has been sort of thrown together during the course of solving problems on site over the last couple weeks.

Three drills, a charger, three minis, a wrecking bar, a laminate file, a Japanese saw, and a roll of blue tape. I'm carrying as much or more in one hand than I was carrying with two in a wholesaler bucket. Now I have a free hand for my tool belt, which is pretty light.

"Mama, feed me!"

Just kidding, it's full. Bits on top.

The little Kreg jig is in there, too. I wanted to figure out a way to make the insert from the Kreg case work with the mini systainer, but this solution has been working.

All the hand tools, including the pocket hole clamp, in the middle.

More space, more stuff on the bottom. It's stuff I use a lot less, but wouldn't go on site without.

I'm sure this arrangement will evolve over time. It's already changed over the last month. If the need arises to carry a compressor more often, I could see trying to imitate
this awesome setup. For 3/4 of the jobs I've had to operate on over the last month, just being able to walk in with everything I need in one trip has saved a lot of time.
