What do you put in your Systainers.

[Tyler Ernsberger]

Let see your tools or accessories in your systainers.  I now have all my tools in systainers.  I thought it would be cool to start a thread see how everyone else uses systainers to store their tools.  I know a lot of guys are using Kaizen Foam.  Might be cool to get ideas and see what others are doing.

 

[Tyler Ernsberger]

I'll start it off.  Here is my new Bosch JS572 in a Tanos Sapphire Blue Sys2 with red t-loc and black handle.  Used foam that was precut from Woodcraft.

I will throw a couple in on this thread! Dewalt hammerdrill and tapcons both in sys 1s. Dewalt planer and all its accessories in a sys2. The Bosch lasers(points, level and measuring laser) along with extra batteries and a Dewalt 20v charger and battery. Senco 1010 in a sys5 with room for a 25ft coil hose and a cord reel under it, and a MFT lid.

Looks good.  I really like the Mft top.

I have my Paslode Angled 16ga in a Combi2.  The drawes work great for nail, gas and charger storage. [attachimg=1]

Nothing but the tools that come with them and associated accessories that fit. I dont need my tools to be mobile so I have found no need to use  systainers for organization around the shop.

I have a Sys 2 with a number of hand tools.  I also have a Sys 1 with my DeWalt Drill and Impact in. A mate of mine gave me grief for trying to make out I had more Festool than I do but for me it's keeping them all in a system. I have made a Dewalt label for it.

Quick side question for you, what do you think about the dust collection on that saw? I'm seriously considering ditching my Carvex and going with the D-Handle version of the JS572.

It's really good to see it fits well in a SYS1 as well!

Well having just gone out to take a photo I realise it's a Sys2 but here are some photos

I think I bought a Sys1 for them but with all the foam they didn't quite fit so I had to do a swap about.

No pics but to name a few
- Lunch box, contains plastic silver ware, knife for cheese and sausage, napkins, paper plates, corkscrew, etc.
- Sys 1 full of hole saws and arbors
- Sys for Ridgid see snake, moisture meters
- TS 75 sys turned into storage for smaller clamps
- Sys 3 for safety stuff, i.e. tyvek suits, masks, gloves, safety glasses, etc.

The dust collection is awesome.  The dust tube is actually on a hinge and will move side to side when cutting and helps the saw move more smoothly when making curve cuts.  I was going to get the Carvex but decided the Bosch JS572 was a better saw.  It has a built in led light and tool less bevel.

That looks great.  I need to get some time and make some custom labels.

Just finished up a organizer for my finish nails. I use 15, 18, 23 gauge nailers plus a narrow crown stapler on my jobs. Nice to finally get this cleaned up, but I'm probably going to get a few shallow boxes to organize the loose brads.

Just got done with my cabinet systainer.  Its a sys1 with compartments.  I took out some of the compartents and replaced with kiazen foam for my true position hardware jig.  [attachimg=1]

I have done A LOT of decks over the years.  I always end up with extra pieces of Azek cladding.  Considering it's impervious to rot AND how expensive the stuff is, I've always hesitated to throw it away.

So now I use it to create custom tool holders.  It's light, it's free (well, already paid for), easy to mill, pretty tough.

Here's a simple one for a Systainer 3 - and my DeWalt impact driver and associated items.  I've actually added to this since this picture.  I'll add more pictures later.

That's a good idea for tool holders in systainers. I tend to think foam but a solid material works well too.

I am in the process of switching over to Systainers for my tools. The Bosch boxes will be for sale soon. For inserts I purchased a foam insert from kaizeninserts.com and use this as a template to cut my own inserts from FastCap's Kaizen foam sheets. I like the fact that I can layout tools/accessories and section cut the Kaizen foam removing layers to accommodate tool shape. I anchor my lid inserts with double sided tape. Once I remove the required layers of foam I use a hot knife with a flat quarter sized tip for flatting and shaping. When scraping away layers I'll use the claw end of a small remodeling pry bar. Using fingers to claw back the foam works for large areas but the remodel bar works great for final leveling.

I make my custom labels for both Festool and non-Festool tools/accessories. This way I can personalize and use manufacturers logos tool images. Saving imaged from internet searching and using TechSmith's Snagit app for screen grabs and editing. I make my labels using Microsoft's Publisher app.
