Need ideas for sys-toolbox 2

[kmdwoodwork]

I got three free sys-toolbox 2 at Festool connect this year and i would like to make inserts or use them for a dedicated purpose. I currently use 1 of them in my trailer to throw misc. things in but i have no idea what to do with the other two. I got the shorter sys-toolbox last year at connect and made inserts for my hand tools and it has worked out great, i used a sys3 attached under it for bigger things but recently bought the tackle box style to use under it which i like better.

If anyone has pictures or ideas on any modifications i can make i would appreciate the help because they are just sitting there not being used.

Here are some pictures of the insert i made last year, the pictures are a year old but it has held up well.

That's a nice insert!  I recently moved my install hand tools to a Sys tackle box, and use a sys toolbox 1 for my jigsaw, armadillo belt sander, and colt router which would fit much nicer in a 2.  Here are some videos that might help get the creative juices flowing.

How I use Festools for efficiency and organization

Thanks for the videos, i found the one problem with the open boxes is that i tend to toss stuff back in and it ends up a mess. The insert i made took a couple of shots to get it the way i like it so i will probably have do the same with the bigger ones.

If any one has more ideas please chime in.

I use a Sys toolbox for car detailing and washing - paper towels, wax, windex, squeegee, Tar remover, microfiber cloths, etc. 

I keep it on top of a Sys Midi and the cleaning kit, which I use for vacuuming the cars when not in the middle of a project.

Works great.

I like that idea, but...

Pictures or it didn't happen!

Well i found a use for the big toolboxes, i bought 11 used classic systainers and a few at the 50% off sale so i could redo my trailer and put non-Festools in them, i used one tool box for drywall tools and one for painting tools and they sit on top of the other stacks which so far has worked out well.

I keep an empty one on top of my CT 36 and use it to hold the sanders, domino, or whatever tools I'm using at the time when I need to set them down.  They also can hold the extra sandpaper, dominos, hand tools or whatever.  If I put them in that, I'm not looking all over the shop to find them while I'm working.
