Sys3 "happy accidents"?

[tsmi243]

So, now that we've all had about a year to bitch about the Sys3's.....  Has anybody run across a situation where the weird height actually works to an advantage? 

Me- I have a few things (non-Festool) that are juuuust barely too big for a SYS2 TLOC.  But the M187 my R90 came in is just right (I'm trying to find the inserts to move the RO90 back into a SYS2....)

Looks like 150mm sandpaper is a perfect fit too, so that's another possibility

The only one I can think of, which I've posted about a few times before, is that the M137 is the perfect size for the hand sanding block with 21mm hose.  The old Sys 1 / M112 can only work if you wrap and pack everything exactly perfectly, maybe.  The Sys2 was big enough that the hose and block seemed lost inside it.

The 137 has  just enough more space to fit some tools that won't quite fit comfortably into T-Loc - I.

  I also have plans to put a heavy duty drill and a Sawzall into 137s.

Of all the complaints I heard about the sys3 the heights not being able to come up to the mft seemed to be one of the biggest. It appears that it was just a lack of information.

That starts at about 15 minutes in and the section goes for about 4 minutes.

I had watched that a while back and it seems to be a few mm off and higher than the MFT.  Good enough for supporting long boards I guess.  That diff is probably lost in floor unevenness, MFT top warp, etc.

Actually yes. The M187, that I decided to use for my hand tools, will sit on top of my CT MINI 1 extractor and make a height +/- 2mm the same as 2x SYS4 T-Locs.  So a convenient add hoc work bench height.

Which boils down to 'buy the new sys cart' if you want to have Systainer3 on wheels level with the MFT.
Result is that one ends up in the wrong height with a TLOC being in the stack, or am I wrong with this?

I'm still not impressed by the new systainers.

Pffft. It's such bogus. He actually wrote the numbers on the Systainers and had to look them up all the time. So, he found one rare combo that will sorta just not really match the MFT height. While with the previous version you could get there with basicly any combination as long as you had and odd number of Systainer-II's in there.

Compare that to this;

And that new dolly.... there is a reason the previous version sells now used for more than it ever sold for new. Because the new version is just hideously oversized. It occupies a huge area, especially if you don't have Midi / L-sized systainers.
