pricey red handle

[mattdh]

anyone know why the red replacement handle for the t-loc systainers are $5 more ($22)  than all the other colored handles ($17). the red latches are the same as all the other colors. weird!

 

[h.gil]

WOW probably raised the prices indirectly by buying so many for the 1st aid kit offering.

Maybe you're just looking at the wrong site? At LeeValley they're all the same price (

Ya. Like I said all latches are the same price. It's  the red handle that's a premium.

Hey, don't blame me! I only bought red latches, not handles. I figured the handles would be hidden in a stack anyway.

But yeah - that's a weird issue.

[eek]

No, the red t-loc handle is still $8.90 just like the rest of them.

TelcoRandy:

I think you're confusing the latches with the handles. The T-LOC latches are indeed $8.90 at LV, but AFAIK they don't sell the handles.

The red handles are in fact $5 more at Woodcraft:

Just ignore everything I've been saying in this thread.
Sorry guys
Thanks wow

I was all set to buy a bright red handle for my systainer first aid kit until ai saw the price!

Thankfully, Lee Valley started selling red latches!
I also got an auxiliary front handle and added a few strips of red electrical tape.  It's my only systainer with a front handle and super easy to pick out of the stack!

Watched your Vid today! Just a random YouTube suggestion when looking at some other Festool stuff.

Really makes good sense to have a kit in the gear you bring every day. [scratch chin] I have a big job First Aid box, for like ten people, if I'm running something. A band aid box ( crappy first aid kit ) somewhere in my stuff, and a emergency trauma bag in my truck. A First Aid Systainer that I always have at the bottom of my SysRoll is on my list for Monday.

Thanks.
