T-Loc's now on US soil and shipping

[Sean7a]

T-Loc's hit The Tool Nut / Systainerworld.com warehouse today.

Pre-orders will begin shipping tonight / tomorrow.

They're sweet!  Some detailed shots and thoughts coming soon.

An additional shot...

Very cool Sean, I just wish a few new T-Locs were in my budget this year, maybe next year....

 

[Brice Burrell]

Hey Sean, I've got a couple of questions.  First, I saw a picture with one of the T-Locs with a different color latch, are replaceable like the old style latches?  If so what colors will be offered and when?  Also, what colors can we get the T-Locs in?  Final question, when can we expect to see Festool T-Locs for sale?

BTW, I've still not got my hands on a T-Loc yet, that will change come March first. [thumbs up]

You're gonna be wantin a whole bunch. They're sweet. [drooling]

 

[peter halle]

Too bad they aren't available in the color that I am accustomed to seeing - dark blue.  [big grin]

 

[ossietim]

found this pic not sure if they are snap on?

Hey Peter how about printing "Fog" on the front's of these loc covers?  [poke]

Festool T-Locs will be available starting March 1st (empties, that is). There will be a gradual roll out of tools in T-Locs replacing the current classic Systainers. The first looks to be the OF 1400 and LS 130. The new RO 90's will only be available in T-Loc. Some of the other Systainers with inserts like the Sys 1 Box, for instance, will also be available soon, if not already.

Thanks Shane, any word on different color latches?

I was just checking the Japan Woodworker website and it looks like they're offering different color latches for the T-Locs

Negative, not for Festool T-Locs. Just green.

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

Here are the color for Tanos T-Locs. However, you could probably use Krylon Fusion or a similar plastic-friendly paint to color as desired. The Fairytale Pink's nice, Brice.

NO. NO. NO.

Can you put up a link to this page, I looked on the site and did not see them.

Cheers

Brice,
I purchased some replacement t-loc latches in red, they arrived the other day. Can't say as to how exactly they attach/detach, but my guess is it won't be rocket science. Love my t-locs, so much easier to open, especially when in the middle of a tall stack!

Page down and the latches are listed but there aren't any pictures.

 

[builderbob]

Sorry for the delay!  Here's the link...they're almost near the bottom of the page...they do not have any photos, but they are listed as "T-Loc catches". I'm feeling the desire to switch all of my systainers over to T-Locs, but I think I will refrain from splurging and do the most important and frequently accessed!

Good luck

Bob

ps.  Fairytale Pink would be a hit with my female customers!  And around here...most if the women rule the roost!

They just pop off. Turn to the lock position and give it a pull.

Sean, when will we start to see more T-Loc accessories/inserts on your site and when will the T-Locs be available in #4 size?  Also, are we going to be able to pre-order Festool branded T-Locs?  I'm looking forward to seeing your Festool site (in other words, hurry up and get it finished [poke] [big grin]).

Brice, LITERALLY all day yesterday and today, we're tweaking some last minute graphical issues.  Ask Shane, he has some stringent rules!  Damn you Shaaaaaaaaneeeeee!!!!!!  We're a few little change here and there from going live.

I'll be adding the Tanos t-loc's to the Festoolproducts.com site.  There will be cleaner navigation on festoolproducts.com vs systainerworld.com.  I'll have the new Festool T-Loc's up there as well.

ETA on T-Loc 4's and 5's is only a few weeks.  They're on a boat / plane / spaceship / jet ski at this point.  Just waiting on the transportation.  Importing from overseas requires much patience.  Being a Tanos dealer has certainly taught me this.
