Recently picked up the fien tool systainer edition, it got me wondering what other tools come in systainers as well, US UK whatever.
 
Veritas, Lee Valley, Woodpeckers, Mirka, Mafell (classic Systainers), Makita (classic Systainers), Schneider (Europe only, sister company of Festool), Narex (classic Systainer, Europe only), Senco, Triton, Bessey (classic Systainers), Husqvarna, maybe others...
 
Mafell finally adopted the T-Locs (although the above custom ones looks hot).

In addition to Shane's fairly comprehensive list, Metabo also have a limited number of tools available in T-Loc's.
 
Makita now makes their own form of systainers called the M-box and is compatible with classic Festool systainers. I have also seen DeWalt systainers, but I don't think they come with their tools. Metabo has been using systainers for quite a while now.
 
As has been mentioned, Metabo has been selling their tools or at least offering Metabo branded systainers as an option for some of their tools for s long time. I purchased a Metabo classic style systainer for one of their mini random orbit sanders about ten years or so ago. The systainer came with an insert that was intended for one of The Metabo drills. The insert was different fron the standard Tanos drill insert. The classic systainer Metabo case was called the Metabox. When Metabo switched to T-Lock systainers they changed the name to Metaloc. I thought Metabo changed the name again when they switched to the newer systainer clone which uses a steel latch instead of a plastic one, but when I did a quick check the newer version is still coming up as Metaloc. All the cases have been a dark Metabo green color, the first two types with red latches and handles.

Elu, before B&D killed the brand, used to offer systainers for some of their tools. The lower part of the cases were a light blue, with a dark blue or black colored lid. I don't believe the Elu systainers were ever sold in the USA.

Dewalt also used to offer classic systainers for their tools in Europe, but they supposedly stopped right before the systainers started becoming popular with other brands. I think the Dewalt systainers were a black and yellow.

Currently Trumpf has started supplying their shears and nibblers in systainer cases in the off white color with dark blue latches.

As has been mentioned Makita sells a case system that is a clone of the classic systainers called Makpac cases or Interlocking cases. In the USA the systainer clone cases are mostly only sold as accessories, although the Makita plunge saw comes in one of the cases. In Europe a wider variety of Makita tools seem to be sold in the cases. Makita also used to sell their tools in actual systainers before they came out with their own version. Makita also sold a case system briefly that looked somewhat like a systainer, but which lacked most of the functionality.

Lamello has offered a few of their tools in systainers, including their Invis system, a couple of their biscuit joiners, and the new Zeta tool.

Spax offers, or at least offered a screw assortment that came in a systainer.

Siemens was selling some sort of control unit thst came in a systainer. I don't recall exactly what it was though.

Prebena sells a smsll compressor unit that comes in a special systainer type case called the aerotainer 245, but only in Europe.

Hitachi is currently offering a systainer classic clone case system in Europe.

In Europe there's also an Ulmia hand tool set that is sold in a systainer.

I believe I've seen others but can't recall right now.
