SYS-PowerHub

It says in the description you can charge a mobile phone or tablet. Does this mean it has an integrated USB charger or do you need to stick your own charger into an outlet?
 
Description indicates it has five outlets, I only see four.
They also state that you can safely charge a phone, so maybe the fifth outlet is on the inside??
 
I don't get this obsession about putting everything in matching boxes. What advantage does this thing have over a regular power strip except x10 the cost and x10 the size?
 
When is this available? I'm going to Spain in a few weeks. What are the voltage requirements in Spain? Compatable with USA voltages?
 
Here are some pictures of the inside of the SYS-PH.
It's a pity that they did not include a power cord real.

Everybody will be running their power tools off this systainer (d'Uh!). Ergo everybody would be melting this systainer since nobody ever bothers with unreeling the cord completely.

The Festool-approach makes sense (Even though it means - as always - that the good suffer for the bad)
 
I like this a lot but I want to find out what gauge the wire is and what it would take to trip it.

I'm always tripping my power strip when I run my thickness planer and shop vac off it and it means I either have to buy a much stronger expensive one or leave the machines much closer to the wall socket.
 
The cord reel comes separately as an accessory kit and it will be another $200.00  [eek] [tongue]

This is a European model, so it is for 220v. Due to the higher voltage we don't need to run as much amps through a wire as is needed in a 110v country.

Looking at the thickness of the cable it is a typical high quality cord for job sites, which typically have 3 inner wires of 1,5 mm²  thick copper. They can accomodate 220v up to at least 16 amps / 3500 watt.

In the description of the Festool box I don't see anything about a fuse, it only has a thermal safety.
 
Looks ok but what about the site lads? Unless there's a 110v transformer version it's pretty pointless for the uk.

Keeps workshop and Van tidy.  You can rack everything to fit one size.

You could buy a sys 3 or 4 and buy 3 extension leads to put  it and still have change out of the £135.00

230V only in the UK.

Don't really see the point in 240v in the uk, it's fine for the home workshop, but get any thing other than a battery charger in the uk and the site agent would boot you off, same with the new sys light thing. I'd love to use 240v my self, I hate sharing 110v on site and luging a transformer round but it's just the way it is in the uk.
