JeremyJ Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 There are now many types of modular tool boxes available and they all have their advantages / disadvantages. I'm talking about Festool's Systainer, Bosch's LBoxx and Dewalt's Tough Box / TStak . They all now have a nice range of boxes; small parts organizing, large tool, carts, etc. I have some experience with the Systainer through my job but none with the others. Systainers are mostly out of my price range right now, but I love the efficiency of the modular tool boxes. I have no loyalty to a brand as I'm a Milwaukee guy. I was wondering who has them, what version you purchased and have they made you more efficient? How about the things you noticed after you made the purchase and put your tools in them?

ChrisK Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have 7 Systainers 5 l boxxes 1 Tough SystemI love all of them. The Dewalt is great but I love my l boxxes and especially Systainers. For modular usefulness, I am sticking with The Systainers. The l boxxes are great also, just couple with my midi the Systainers are the way for me to go. The tough system is phenomenal and is by far the box I would use out of the shop as the structural foam is extremely dense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 7 Tough System5 Systainers1 L-Box They are all good boxes, The DeWalt Tough Box is a very sturdy box and can take some abuse. The other two are nice but won't take the abuse the tough box will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have pretty much converted all my non festool tools into systainers, it was a gradual process but having a fair amount of festools that already came with them I really wanted to stick to one system. While I'll admit they aren't the most rugged boxes out there they are plenty durable for non abusive situations.. also I just think the t-loc mechanism is the best latching and interlocking system available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERemodeling Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks bigmikez! Would you mind telling my wife that I really do place a lot of value on being organized, customers really love it and often it adds instant credibility to me when they see my setup!
