Need help finding a discontinued Festool product!

[Storage-Problem]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping this is the correct place to post this question. At work we currently have a whole ton of the following bins and accompanying storage containers:

I know these storage systems were at one point manufactured by Festool. I don't believe they are any longer. My issue is that I need to replace some of the colored plastic containers as many of them have failed, however as I believe this product has been discontinued I am beside myself as to where to look.

Would anyone have any idea as to where I might be able to find replacement parts? I'd like to source the same Festool bins as they fit properly into the blue metal containers.

Thnaks very much.

I have one pack each of blue (3 ea), yellow (6 ea), and orange (12 ea).

Awesome!

Funnily though, I'm primarily looking for the green pots as pretty much all of them have failed (they are the largest), but every little bit helps

The outer box has changed but it's still a current product, so you should be able to order these little bins in every quantity you want from a dealer.

Just a word of caution - a lot of manufacturers make similar boxes, but they are not necessarily all the same dimensions.

For example, the old Festool ones (in the classic systainer) are not interchangeable with the new ones in T-Locs.

 

[tbellemare]

Exactly, JRB!

The ones I referenced above are the old ones for the classic systainers.

The ones that Alex referenced are the newer ones for the T-Loc version and are different.

I can make a dimensional comparison if someone wants it...

Speaking of discontinued items- I wish I could get my hands on a Festool workshop apron. (Discontinued in the US at least)

Welcome to the FOG!  [smile]

Makes sense I see lots of duct tape on the green ones  [laughing]

  Seth, where do they crack, in the corners? I have a friend that bought the small Sys version with the smaller boxes. Are the other versions,[non-green,] not running into this?  Thanks  [blink]

 

[semenza]

I don't have any . I was just looking at the picture  above and noticed the duct tape on the green ones which does appear to be on the corners.
