Will these inserts fill a Sys1?

[DiscoStu]

Looking to get a Festool Systainer for screws. I have previously seen an option with coloured containers but this seems to have gone? I saw this on FFX & Nuts and Bolts:

Festool Plastic containers Set 60x60/120x71 3xFT
Festool part number: 201124

Will this fit and fill a Sys1? I don't want them flying about! I did wonder if they were more designed for sortainers?

They are intended for use in the new sortainers and the 'workmanstyle toolbox' (the one with the handle). I just tried m in a Sys1 and there’s no fun there: loose, bad fit — you would have to use them with a bottom filler and side fillers to keep them steady.

Thanks - really helpful. I'll look for the traditional systainer with the inserts.

The insert alone (Festool 498043) and also together with coloured boxes (Tanos 80500038) are also sold separately.
Just put them in your own empty SYS 1.

When I set this up I felt like I wanted more blue boxes and less yellow bur when I looked them up to buy 3 separate it was almost as expensive as buying a whole entire set up, wich is what I will end up doing, then I'll have spares

I must say that it was a disappointing realization that the old (colored) and new (grey) boxes are incompatible.

Wouldn't have been necessary, with a slighly different geometry of the separators in the drawers of the new Sortainers the old boxes would have worked nicely with them.

They fit finein the sys combi and will not fall over
I have been using it for the past week and love it

You cant get the the boxes at the back row but thats no big deal for me as i put the screws i dont use very often their.

I have the 3 sizes in grey, but the coloured bins fit ok. About 98% ok.

I tried it in a configuration where I only used one side for the old style boxes, this didn't work that good since they tilt at times (from the notches in the bottom).

Eh! What do you mean they have been discontinued... They are still available. Look here:
