Rail bag for shorter rails

[reijos]

The rugged tools rail bag (https://a.co/d/7TtqBUv) is absolutely amazing for the 1400 rails. Well padded, divider, generous side pockets to hold the TSO GRS-16PE and GRE-13; the only problem I have is that it is way too big for the 800 rails. Doesn't seem like they make a shorter one, has anyone found a great bag sized for the shorter rails?

Watching with interest. I have that rugged tools bag too and love it, and I could fit my 800 rail in there with my 1400, but I'd like a shorter bag too to dedicate to the 800. I use that rail the most. I do think makita makes a shorter bag.

The first rail bag Festool had, the one from 2006... had a side pocket with velcro flap to hold the 800 rail(s). I still own one. However, the hard plastic internal 'armor' of the bag all broke in a 1000 pieces. So I cut the bag open and took it all out since the pile of small brittle pieces bulking up prevented the rails from being inserted. After that I had the cut fixed again. Bag is now lighter than ever but not as sturdy.

They should have switched to 1500 or 1600 years ago btw.

So I got the Makita one and it is fine. Different than the rugged tools (missing the internal divider but has more "structure" rather than just a padded bag) . Only has the side pocket on one side and is still overly large for the 800 rails. Overall I'm not sorry I got it but would instabuy a rugged tools one for 8-900mm rails if it ever becomes available.
