I was wondering is there a place online where there is a description of all the items that are supposed to go into a systainer/what all the indents/spaces in an systainer insert are planned for?

There are some tools that have unused spaces and sometimes it is hard to figure what the spaces are for like in case of the PDC set I just recently saw a picture that the sys uni light fits in one space next to the charger (was scratching my head for the longest of time.....).

Yes, that would be helpful.  Is that spot in the insert actually designed for the sys uni light?  Never would have guessed that without the picture.

Someone on another thread said that the depth stop rod fits in a slot under the charger.  I still can't see where the rod is supposed to go.

[member=18283]RLJ-Atl[/member]  Assuming you have the US version PDC there is a slot under the charger, almost all the way to the edge of the insert, that the rod presses into.

Brice,  yes US version.  Does it go parallel to the front of the systainer?  If so,  I think I know what you mean.

There's your problem, you've been looking 90 degrees the wrong direction.  It goes parallel to side.  [member=18283]RLJ-Atl[/member]
 
I don't know if the sys light was designed to fit into that space but I would guess so by the way it fits in, I just removed the hook / clip that hangs off the back.
For me it was a case of seeing what else fits with my needs for the drill when the tool is on site.
  There is a lot of empty space in that systainer. So I also managed to fit on the other side of the charger an old protool wood set of drills that fits perfectly and can house my countersinks and tools that don't fit in the attic lid.
If you look at the photo you can see where the depth stop rod fits down on the right hand side.

Here we go... I have the German version of the PDC so we are all over the place......

I don't see a slot under the charger and the charger is not near the left side edge of the insert.  We must have different inserts.

Here's a pic of the US version of the PDC insert.  On the far left side of the insert you can see the depth rod in it's slot (you can see the light reflecting off the rod).  I've added arrows to make it as clear as possible. [tongue]

Totally different to my U.K.  version

Yep, totally different than the version that I just received Monday 6/08/2015 from Tool Nut.  Mine looks the same as the one in the picture DB10 posted above.

Maybe it's a newer version?

[member=42735]DB10[/member] What's that thing to the right of the charger in your picture?  Drill bit case, maybe?
[member=18283]RLJ-Atl[/member]  Yep, that's a Protool drill case, someone on here will probably know if Festool makes one the same size, its a bit smaller in size to the driil box that comes with the installer set, but looks the same in design. Handy for housing countersinks and tools to big for the attic. Fits just perfectly next to the charger.
