PROOF! Protool merging with Festool?

[Timtool]

You could always make your own, ask TIMTOOL

Exactly, I hope Festool is paying TIMTOOL for the idea.

I wish lol, i wasn't even aware until a friend sent me a link today.
Because i also work on the family farm i haven't been online much with the harvest.

I wasn't the first to come up with this, even if i didn't voluntarily copy the previous design my diafer. I came up with the idea and during the build i found out he had already made something similar which almost made me give up. I contacted him and he was fine with it.
I am only the first one to make it as a usable box with opening lid which is what Festool is now offering. And i can't blame them, this is a useful design and i only made mine because there was a gaping hole in the market.

I admire how they solved the problem of locking other systainers on top, it does however add the problem of having 4 recesses on top and having a plastic edge at the front and rear. As it is a work surface i didn't see the use of allowing systainers to be on top.

I don't know if they copied me or not, or if they are copying other stuff of mine atm (hint MFTC) as i have never been contacted by Festool, a few weeks before i revealed the MFTC i sent the mothership pictures and info to get their opinion but i never got a reply. Festool USA however have always answered my questions in a polite and timely manner.
