Systainer storage ideas ...

[Afro Boy]

Am after some creative ideas ...

I (proudly) own a few Festools and their systainers. I like to put my tools back in the systainer after I've used them. Stacking them is nice but it's a pain to get to each of them when I need to. So ... they end up all over my garage floor instead.

In the style of this DIY Boom Arm, anyone have any interesting ideas on how to store the systainers but keep things easy to access?

Cheers,
Af.

Awesome. I didn't know they existed. And in the true Festool way, it's way out of my price range. Found a nice range of home made SysPorts (on the festool forums) so might be giving that a shot over the next few weeks.

Cheers,

Thanks for that Boost.

What dimensions did you use for the space of each systainer?

Does the unit topple at all? That's one thing I'm quite worried about if I build one.

Thanks,
Af.

Even with every drawer open the unit doesn't come close to falling over. It is too heavy. Trick is to put the caster (heavy duty) right to the extremes.

I need to make another one. Already have 7 boxes to many!!!!!

Boost obviously has to much money & should learn to share.

Not really......... just know that good tools last and make work more enjoyable.

besides tools are tax deductable!
