Rail/ level bag

[ifit]

Anyone know of a bag available in the uk that will carry 3 rails and a couple of 1800mm levels?

I can only find short wide rail bags or long thin level bags

I do know the old style Festool FS bag fits three FS 1400 rails if you push 'm in there. No 1800 though.

I've been looking for a bag like that and nothing seems to exist.  I am thinking about getting a bag made or possibly making a  box using 6mm birch ply.

Im sure there must be something available even if its a sort of snowboard or fishing bag - i will keep looking

I don't think you'll find bags for rails & levels together.
Stabila has some nice bags for multiple levels up to 72". Axminster sells some models up to 2m.
Festool used to sell a large bag (FS-BAG-PA, #496940) suited for multiple rails, clamps, Geckos and the parallel side fences.
Unfortunately it's not made anymore and if you find one it costed 160 euro.

I use stanley fat max padded bags for levels and i made a foam lined ply box for 4 1400mm rails. However i guess you want an all in one solution for fewer trips to the van to site?

Yes thats the idea, If I'm doing door sets i need an 1800mm level 800 level a couple of rails and 1 or 2 hinge jigs - all in one bag would be a lot more convenient

A few members have previously mentioned using keyboard cases for the rails as they are padded. It might be worth looking into sizes of those and see if they are suitable or not?

I think a ski bag would fit the bill

I have just been looking at exactly that and have come here to ask for thoughts [smile]

Also, a snow board bag might be worth checking out.

I believe my Festool dealer, Markham Industrial in Markham, Ontario, Canada has 2 bags in stock. If my memory serves me right, they still had them last week.Cheers

The newer style bags are different from the ones sold in 2006

If you can ignore the yellow lettering on the outside of this bag it may work, had one of these before I was infected by the green disorder.  DWS5025 - http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/dewalt-dws5025#topoftabs

Hey, look at this one.  May not be big enough to add levels though.
