Wondering what other folks do to keep their drills, bits and screws all together or do you just all haul separate systainers?
I moved my C18 insert into a combi with an attic lid, the drawer contains a T18 (that I use mainly as a drill), additional (one each) 5.2 and 2.6A batteries, syslite package (the lamp, charger, magnetic base, hanger) and one 60x120 insert box where I keep fastfix chucks and self centering drills and such. Had to cut off a bit off the drawer separator on one side to fit the T18 and have to take off the battery and the chuck to fit in, it rests with the drive shaft on the smaller battery in the back.
Whatever else I need (small stuff like screws and such) that fits into the new systainer drawers I have pre-packed in them and pop them into the SORT3 systainers under the C18 (two are always there, with another added if needed, with the whole stack on a sys roll to move it where I need it) on demand as the job needs them.
My OF1010 also lives in a combi, the drawer holding accessories for easy access. Next on my todo list is to join the RO90 with a drawer of abrasives into a combi, but I havn't come up with a good way of storing the many different grids (in both round and tri) so they don't mix and are easy to access in a drawer, yet. Most likely my PS420 will also transition into one at some point to get rid of the extra accessory systainer, but the drawer is a little low in depth to digest the bases and I don't use if that often so it isn't a high priority.
Long term plan is to move everything that came in SYS1 systainers into SORT/3 drawers to pack it as dense as possible (as my shop is small) while maintaining ease of access (or even improve it, compared to the original systainers, as with the drawers one can access their contents without disassembling the systainer stack). Still thinking about building a makeshift thermoforming contraption to create custom inserts for the drawers, ways to play tricks with cheap spray foam (the kind that is used to fix door frames and windows into place) or getting a flatbed router (but I sadly don't have the space for it) to mill lightweight foam or balsar - to stop the contents of the drawers that dosn't fit the insert boxes in an economic way (space wise) from moving out of place into a configuration that leads to the need to dig through it...
