i do not mean to be a wet sock but i do not care if someone walks away with my locked tools i still do not have them. now if the exploded so as to spam the person taking my stuff while posting it in real time on youtube, that i would pay for. ;D

I think Tanos is marketing them as safety latches verses security latches.  Although if you stacked 8 or so systainers together and used these to latch them all together, it might also serve as a deterrent to some degree.  But I would hate to find out that I had 8 different keys.

Is that going to he;p keep the stacks together?

Never mind, I see it is a full size latch and not the same as the front one's on the Sortainers.

After reading Darcy's post, it made me think.  To lock a stack together, you would need 2 pairs for each systainer.  But one pair would keep a child out of the insides.

these latches look good but they are only a detterent. if the person who picks up that festool systainers really wants what is inside he or she will get in whether it has a lock or not.

It's not really about theft deterrent,  More about someone else not getting in a systainer and using your tool.

Or to keep a child out.

That's what I was thinking aswell.

On my makita ls1013 scms there's a function that you can remove the safety button (the one on top, that you have the press to be able to use the saw). At first I thought that was a stupid feature, because you wouldn't be able to use the saw if it unintentually got lost; but I appreciated it when we had to do work on the second floor of a house with a lot of small kids around and the saw was setup outside.

well when i am on a jobsite or in the shop people dont use my tools because they dont respect them like i do end of.
and as far a children being around while you are using tools this may be down to debate but if i am in a clients house and children are around i would take a moment to educate my client about the work i will be carrying out and what tools i will be using and the possible dangers of these tools in the wrong hands i.e please keep and eye on your children

I have two kids at home, so it would be beneficial that way.

Slightly off topic, but relevant to child safety with corded power tools:  Many prongs on electrical product plugs have holes in them.  You can find super cheap small / tiny padlocks that will fit thru the hole on one prong that will prevent them from being used.  That was an old tip I saw in magazine years / decades ago.

Never tried it - got dogs for kids.  Trash cans are my priority.

for kids safety that is a good idea, if you lose it just stick a screw in it and it will fire up;  lost mine and used a screw... do not screw it in just stick it in. (sounds like something a women would say.... lol 

 

[lordinteriors]

Just to make it clear u do luke this product and in no way question anyones parenting as I'm sure you guys would not let your kids loose in your shop with out supervision

Nah. One pair.

One locker in front, and one on the opposite side in the rear. Not ideal, but it'd make sure the thief had to take all or nothing... or break your systainers.
