Systainer label replacements

[mhch]

Several Festool owners reported that systainer labels fall and can't be put back in place.
Is it possible that Festool keeps downloadable copies, pdf or scanned, or whatever is
appropriate, available so it is easy to print a replacement on some appropriate paper ?

Its not hard to make your own labels, the problem is they are the poor quality. I'd like to see Festool provide better labels or at least sell replacements.

I'd have to vote for replacements, for those who need them.  I like the fact that the lables peel off easily.  Love my tools, like my systainers.  Just not together.  I use shop built boxes / shelves for my tools, and systainers for misc. stuff.

Tools are for using - I don't spend much time polishing and indexing them - everyone's different!

Festeringtool,

Had you taken a moment to consider the comments, you'd realise the simple problem is that the cases (systainers) are indentical, once you have a collection of Festools you start to appreciate the necessity of the labels.

However, why am I taking the trouble to explain to such a shallow mind?

Your comments are tiresome, I've ignored you to date because you're obviously suffering some pretty severe insecurities regarding your personal status. (The knee jerk reaction of lashing out at others in a vain attempt to make yourself look more important or knowledgeable is always the result of deep self loathing). So I have not only taken pity on you, I have pitied you.

I'm truly sorry that life has appeared to you to be so unfair that your standard reaction to almost any situation is to attempt sarcastic wit. (you're succeeding in the sarcastic half of that, as to the wit, you came to this gunfight unarmed).

This is not an invitation for a flame match - in fact I will not respong to (or even read) any more of your posts.

Have a nice life, try to get some help - or at least give some thought to your feelings about others and more importantly, your feelings about yourself.

the problem is that the systainers does not have a smooth surface.stickers will eventually come off.
solution?  "sharpie" comes to mind!

That is a solution, but only if you're sure you'll never need to upgrade a tool to a newer/bigger/smaller version. Having a stickerless systainer with permanent marker all over it WILL affect the resale value...

Hi,

    I find that rubbing alcohol will generally take permanent marker off plastic.  Making it not so permanent after all

come on now,it's not like it's an antique!
i'm planning to keep my tools.
you can use alcohol or lacquer thinner to remove the "permanent marker"l

 

[danrush]

Be careful, it also removes Festool green.  I know!!!!

Exactly! Just get it marked up with a permanent marker - it's a tool not jewellery!

If I was the opinion, that a permanent marker would be just as good as the original decals I would not have requested them in the first place. I happen to like my systainers with the original decals on them.

If you like a big fat permanent marker in stead its fine with me - we are all different I guess.

 I saw on E-bay today that someone is selling these stickers.  Its a set of four or five labels for the systainers.  For TEN DOLLARS!
Use a label maker if you need to label them.  I usually just write on a strip of masking tape for most of my boxes on the shelves.

 Of course I don't know how to get a replacement for the really cool sticker I got on top of the Domino box.  I bought during the first shipment last year & they included a sticker that said "A precision tool for a Master Craftsman, John Kunze".  Thanks for that one Festool.  What a pleasant surprise when I opened that box.    Did any one else get that sticker on a tool, or am I the only one.  ;D

Those on ebay are not the ones we are talking about here. We are talking about the ones that are on your systainer when you buy a tool, eg. a C 12 set.

Thomas,
  Why not contact the E-bay seller & ask him if he can supply those, as well.  He might be able to, he seems to have a source for these stickers, as they're listed many times over.

I went to the horses head instead (so to say) and contacted Festool in Germany, Wendlingen. I took it on me to write in german wich is a bigger challange than english.  I hope it pays of and will let you know.

That was a sticker McFeely's offered for a time, that was under Shane's time there.

The McFeely's labels were a good concept.  Unfortunately, the ink rubs off of them.

 

[Terp]

The ink is rubbing off, but now I'll always have this picture on the shop wall. 

Thanks Shane!

Why not simply make it a spare part that you can order? As eg. one of the blank inlays for systainers. That would be the best way of making sure it will work I think.  ;D
