A Drawer-systainer on a Bike Shop Bench

A working bike bench is a high-turnover place. Cables, ferrules, bearings, spacers, chain pins, valve cores — dozens of small parts a day, most of them consumables, none of them worth walking across the shop for.

This user’s answer sits at the back of the bench: a Festool-liveried Drawer-systainer III, small drawers up top for the parts that get grabbed by the handful and one deep drawer underneath for everything bulkier.

It is doing the same job a parts cabinet does, with one difference that matters in a shop this busy — it is still a systainer. If the work moves, so does the drawer unit, and it stacks with whatever else is going. Most of what surrounds it in the photo is fixed furniture: the roll cabinet, the bench, the mat. This part is not.

Worth saying for anyone who arrived here through Festool: the green latches are livery, not a separate system. This is the same case format that stacks with the TANOS-branded cases, and the same one your sander came in — see What Is a Systainer? if that is news.

One system. For everything. For everyone.
