Thanks for the heads-up. A front handle looks interesting!

Looks like the heights are different (except for 1) from the current system.
And the L size is a bit bigger than a Midi, I guess it's been done to fit in with the bott vehicle system.

The organizer M is interesting.  If the top seals the contents of each cubby, I’m all about it!

Looks very much like Sortimo T-BOXX. I have several of those and they are excellent.

Yup!  I have them, but they don’t play nice with systainers.  These do!

I'm glad I haven't yet invested in small parts storage. I'll probably end up with some of those organizer M's in Sys-AZ drawers.

They're missing the mark by not making the Sys-Combi standard. Several of my tools would benefit from having a Sys-combi with drawer for expendables, accessories, etc but to convert over from my standard systainers would be absurdly cost prohibitive.

 

[zapdafish]

any idea if mini's will get a handle?

 

[DeformedTree]

Of course this happens shortly after I invest a lot of money in a lot of systainers.  I was just telling myself the other day they will probably make a new version soon as the patents on the current version are probably about to expire. Maybe other companies will just start making T-lok style containers on their own once the patents are dead.

Updates are fine, but seriously, if you are going to make an announcement like this,  tanos/festool needs to put out some explicit/clear information on the changes/compatibilities from the current model.  It doesn't look like from a glance they are hugely different, maybe just some added aspects.  But if form factor/interfaces/heights changed, that's going to cause heartburn for folks.  I might rather see a side by side of the improvements/changes then "action photos" of them that tell folks nothing.

It looks like they added a front handle (makes sense on short ones I guess),  rounded the corners instead of the chamfers.  The Latch is different looking. 

Down side is it looks like they down graded the label setup.  I don't see side label holders.  That sucks, as I put labels on on 3 sides. That was/is one of the really nice features.

Yes, removing the side labels is definitely a negative.  The handle swings to the front instead of the back, so I wonder what this means for attic lids and how much space the handle takes up.

I'm a big fan of the sortainer IV for small parts and just in general having mobile drawers for smaller tools rather than needing to open a stack; hopefully there is a good replacement for it.

Hopefully, the partnership means the MIDI-like M will have the equivalent of a SYS-AZ available.

Love the van racking slides, even if I might not use it. Also those Bott systainers with the black and green latch look incredible. One thing that I don't love is that it looks like the front handle actually gets in the way of the T-loc latch from a box underneath... seems like a bit of an oversight.

I’m having the same heart burn! Just finished making an expensive switch to 100% Systainer setup!

It’s called Sod’s law

I like the fact that they have integrated drawer slides and do not neccearily need a sys AZ drawer. You could have some simiple splines or even use 2-3 dominos to act ask pins to store in a chaos wall.

 

[Bob D.]

Will they be available in the US the same time as the rest of the world?
