New festool open top systainer 495024

[yesson20]

Hi all,
Just posting this for everyone who hasn't seen these.
i think its a fantastic idea and they are compatible with t-loc systainers

So Im guessing you can remove the handle by undoing the latches ???

The handle does not look removable, it looks more like those can be stacked and latched together at the middle, with the handles nested.

It's called the ToolBox (SYS-TB-1) and can be stacked on top of Classic systainers, T-Loc systainers, other ToolBoxes and dust extractors as well.
The handle cannot be removed. And that is the only design fault.
It's also available from Tanos and Protool.
Protool already has a SYS 2 version of it and Festool will also bring out that size as well, I assume.

Ah well that is still pretty cool that you can stack  them on top of each other, I could really do with two of these boxes because I always carry a crate around for loose tools and it just doesnt go well with the festool system at all. I have no problem with handle not being removable.

Any time frame for a release in the United States?

The Tanos variation is available already from Lee Valley.  See: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=69820&cat=1,43326,64664

There's another thread discussing te new Protool one that's double depth too. I got half a dozen of the regular size of these thinking they'd be very useful - but tricked myself ... More than a couple and they're a bit limiting.

Well made though and it's great on top of a vac.

i agree with you kev. they look kinda limiting.
i could use one or two for just throwing in things i only need for that one job. but i would rather have a normal sys and close the lid. . any ideas i come up withfor stuff to put into these i hesitate and realise it would be better with a lid.

i think these should have a folding (or slide down inside) handle. then have the proper latchs to be able to stack more sys on top adn lock them on. also i would like a lid that comes completely off to reveal this inside.
i feel a lets design  thread coming on

I bought a couple of the Tanos ones from Lee Valley -- The handle is molded in place. They are very sturdy, stack nicely and have tons of uses.

I think this should have been built with a handle that would rotate and fold flush with the top.  Then one could possibly have stocked other types of Systainer on top.
