Eight Systainer³ XXS in a Shop-Made Cabinet

Systainer³ XXS 33, Insert Bits, Cabinet, Custom Foam, Shop Furniture, Festool, TANOS

Insert bits are too small to justify a case and too easy to lose without one. Buy them in sets and within a year you have a drawer of part-empty clamshells, none of them labeled, all of them the same shape in the dark.

This user built the other answer: a shop-made cabinet, about the size of a bread box, holding eight Systainer³ XXS in two columns of four. One bit type per case, and every case labeled on the end that faces out.

Nothing fancy, but it sure is handy having stuff labeled — and when I do remote work, everything stacks together.
— this user

Some of the cases carry TANOS branding and some carry Festool’s — they stack and latch identically either way, which is the point of the format.

A few of the cases have inserts cut for what lives in them, like the countersink set above — foam pockets rather than bits loose in a tray.

The cabinet is the part that makes the whole thing work. Eight cases on a shelf are eight cases you have to read the ends of. Eight cases in their own slots are an index.

One system. For everything. For everyone.
