I own a non-Festool track saw, and have participated in conversations about the design, accessories, perks, and limitations of the 'other' brand vs the gold standard of Festool saws and guide rails.
In addition to having the cool parallel guides, squares, and other accessories - it's also easier to transport and store a Festool guide rail. I did a couple of variations on storage options, and threw together some of the ideas in a post here.
What came out of the ideas is a guide rail 'caddy' that stores my tracks in a frame/caddy. The design is also easily modified to carry Festool (or Makita, Bosch, etc) guide rails. Wall racks are great for storing guide rails when they are at home. And carry bags are nice but don't really protect the zero clearance edges from impact or bending. This caddy keeps the guide rails protected and straight while at home, in the car, or at the job site. I'd be curious if owners of Festool guide rails are interested in the variation that fits their style of track.
