    Ah, I remember when my guy was trashing Festool. Now look at him, with his 3 dust extractors, the $400 dollar cyclone thingy, even got the $200 dollar blue box with an apron and salt shaker.
    Welcome to Festool :)

      @timmietimmins3780 Месяц назад +1

      Systainer T-locs, and systainer III's (not the old gen I stuff), can be opened and accessed while stacked. I do it all day every day. I will go weeks without unstacking my primary boxes (the two stacks I have all my most used tools in).
      You just open the box you want, which locks the lid to the box above it, then you lean the stack backward (I do this against my body, so I don't have to hold it and it makes sure I can't slip and let stuff fall), and then you just bend over and pull all the tools you want out.
      I will run all day with my roughly 30-36 inch high stacks (the limiting factor on the stacks is how high they can be while I can still walk them up and down stairs and over uneven terrain without hitting the boxes against the ground). I have never had any need to unstack them.
      Also, they are VASTLY lighter than drawers. That is the killer for me. How heavy drawers are. A T-loc I is under 3 pounds. 3 of them stacked on top of each other are under 9. The 3 drawer packout unit is 22.5 pounds. And that's only about 14-15 inches of stack. If you scale that up to a reasonable amount of storage space (say, a 30 inch high stack), you would be looking at 45 pounds EMPTY. 30 inches of T-loc I's Is probably under 20 pounds. And they get lighter as the boxes get bigger. 2 T loc V's stacked on top of each other are about 11.5lbs, and that is over 30 inches.

    Yep..... he finally got the Festool bug. It's funny to think that you were in a pickup truck and were kind of anti- Festool a year or two ago. I have a alot of Festools..... but I like the Milwaukee Packout system much much better. The Systainers get beat up pretty fast and they have changed their style at least three times over the past years. The Systainers are fine to carry my Festools but I would never use them as organizers because they are not as robust and you have alot less options. I went full Festool when I first discovered how good it was years ago but I learned that it has its limitations. You'll see........

    I have just about all the Festool tools, but when it comes to drills their proprietary chucks drive me nuts. Which is why I put my milwaukee drills in the Festool boxes and paint the twist lock red. Now you need to build some racks for those boxes. Not fun when the one you need is on the bottom and you have to pull five off to get to it.

  • @nominalvelocity
    @nominalvelocity Месяц назад +22

    I think packout makes a lot of sense for trades who often use bigger, heavier tools, need to carry more consumables, etc, especially for those working in unfinished spaces. For installers, trim carpenters, and trades who have to deal with finished or even lived-in spaces, systainer is just so much lighter, more convenient size, and just plain more clean-looking, even if you're not in it for the festool tool system--which is popular with finish carpenters for the reasons you pointed out, and systainer is just a bonus of the purchase.

    I broke a systainer at work. We Have a larger building at my work and I loaded up a Systainer and had milwaukee box on the back of a golf cart with some other tools to go to another area. The systainer hinge like pin on the back sides of the case shot out and the top flopped open when I took off. The tool inside was okay, thankfully. But it wasn't a hard fall and was my fault cause it was just loosely set in the back. But afterwards it showed me that anything can happen whne you least expect it. Love Festool and Milwaukee.

    I have done the opposite.
    I went from Systainers to Packout. The systainers are grest for tools with lots of accessories but have a box for every individual tool takes up far too much space in the van and takes too long to load and unload the tools.

      @timmietimmins3780 Месяц назад +2

      Why on earth do you have individual boxes for every tool? I agree, that WOULD take up a ton of space, but I don't see any reason to actually do it.
      Personally, My systainer collection is modest, but I have multiple tools in every box except my sander, and that's because neither the sander or the box belongs to me . I also picked systainer largely because they are vastly more space efficient than packout (there was a spreadsheet on the festool owner's group forum that I won't link here as I think youtube looks unkindly on external links).
      I also don't load and unload the tools. Because the boxes are so light, I just carry entire stacks into the jobsite. And access the tools while the boxes are stacked. (a T-loc I, the smallest T loc, is under 3 pounds. When I show up on the jobsite, I am not carrying one tool. I am carrying, in 1 hand, 60+ lbs of tools.
      I really don't get how people think Systainers are supposed to work. Every time I see people who are not me using them, I think "what are you DOING?" Why would you spend all this money for premium tool cases and then not actually fill them up?
      But as the other guy says, yes. They are fragile. I will give them that. They ain't free, and they are NOT apprentice proof, at all.

    Wow, Richard! You have really gone whole-hog into the Festool universe!!!! Festool really is all about being a “system”, from the Systainers to the dust extraction. Everything is well thought out and planned to work together. Festool doesn’t always hit a home-run with their tools but they are always a joy to use.

    I've never used Festool products, but I'm a solid Milwaukee tool and Packout user. Their containers are bulletproof in the van, in the elements and taking to jobsites. Your point on Festool's organization all in one container is a HUGE benefit, so I certainly understand why you like them so much. I try to pack my bags and containers with every related accessory I need, because it does make a big difference in your workflow and efficiency.

    I use both systems, Systainers for everything tool and woodworking related that goes out to the sites in the work trailer, and then Packout is for all my trade tools and materials, painting, drywall, plumbing, electrical, tile etc. goes in the Packouts so I can roll stacks of each trade into the jobsite when they are needed. I made a Packout stack mobile spray rig just for spraying kitchen cabinets with the work top attached on top with my Fuji Turbine permanently attached and all guns, funnels, etc., below in drawers for onsite cabinet spraying versus at the shop. They each have their uses and strong points for my company. I went all Festool 10 years ago and haven't regretted it at all!

  • @davidhull2060

    I've been using systainers for about 20 years. They are much tougher than they look and hold lots of items. I love that all generations can be connected together and you can fit them to your dust extractor....it looks ultra professional in a clients home or commercial maintenance setting. Spend a fortune on Bott van racking, and you have the most well-organized van that it is possible to own. All really well thought out, even down to the map on the lid that shows how everything fits back into the case.

    I have both. For Systainers they even make a larger XXL Boxes I use to carry my Drywall And Paint gear in as well as they can stack on top of my vac, other than that I use packout drawers, Crates and rolling tool boxes for all non Festool or brands that use the tanos system. I think it’s still good to have two different systems, I still love my packout too. Put them in the bed with all my other stuff without worrying if it will break. I have to Put my systainers in the cab because they definitely would break if the Happen to fall over. Tanos definitely needs to upgrade there plastic to whatever Milwaukee is using.

As a semi professional using the tool sometimes a year later, I still can be sure , all necessary stuff is in the package 🤗👌 Nice to know: way back Festool intended to have the systainers for shipping purposes only! The customers in the early days were supposed to bring it back , but that never happened 😂😉

    This helped 100% with my decision, was researching this alot, those couple of inches all around it's just dead space, the quality and reinforcement of the plastic is fantastic but they had in mind just this idea to look cool, army style, like we drop our tools by parachute, I like their snap system and they can do anytime a second system similar to systainers that can click into already existing packout and just name differently like Tanos (Festool's partner that manufactures the systainers) did

    As both a Red tool & Festool owner, I can’t argue with your logic. I’ve gotten to the point where I won’t buy a tool without a hard case. If you ever plan on loading your tools in a truck, van or trailer, hard cases are a key way to protect your investment. It’s too easy to damage or destroy thousands (!) of dollars in professional tools just moving them to & from the job site. Milwaukee proved that they can organize with their track saw packout (except for the diagrams). I love both red & green tools, but seriously, organize your tools in hard cases if you want to continue to sell to people whose living relies on keeping their tools in good shape and making it easy to know what tools are in which case (& no reading required). Professional tools should come with a protective case. Period. Of course I’ll expect to pay extra to get the hard case. Just be as serious about packaging your tools as I am about selecting the tools I use.

  • @choimdachoim9491

    You're making valid points. For me, I don't like the extra 3-dimensional space the Systainer system uses. I carry all my corded hand tools in a 3-level rolling tool box plus accessories. All my cordless tools, chargers, accessories, etc. fit into one 3-level rolling toolbox. If I used the Systainer system this amount of tools would fill my truck. With my 2 rolling boxes I can fit all those tools into an old VW Beetle. When I need my chop-saw I pick it up and throw it into the truck. I don't need the Systainer system box taking up extra room. Non-electric hand-tools I throw into carry-bags. Just personal preference. I would hate to be unstacking Systainer cases every time I needed to use a tool that wasn't on top of the pile.

But for basic tasks such as impacts, drills, oscillating saws, sawzall, skill saw are all Milwaukee. Alot of which have 3rd party inserts for the tools. I have the Milwaukee 4-in-1 Installation driver in a small packout with the insert, and other tools in their dedicated small packout as well which saves space even compared to the systainer.

However I think Packout has been on top since they have been out. The Sustainers are very neat and I do like the way they organize them. I couldn’t agree with you more that Milwaukee tools should come with Packout cases. I think if I had a shop that the sustainers would be a cool choice, however for a job site I thin Packout wins out. But to each their own. I am glad you like what you have.

    The xxl systainer comes in two heights I think. The low one is what I mean here, I think it’s 237. One layer of base foam, the lid foam and two layers of the hard epd or epm (whatever it is called) but the stiffer one. Inside that I have my 7 most used drills. 4 festool s and 3 makitas. I was doing what your doing for a while but now I really just keep saws in the original systainers. Anyway, the 7 drills wide, no rattles. All handle up. Takes up less space.

    you can almost fit 2 of those drawer systainers in the volume of that packout

    Got the last gen csx yet? It's probably my favourite tool, and I have a quite a few festool tools.
    And the thing about large tool boxes, like some packout, is that when full they are VERY heavy. I'm currently migrating to all festool for tool/fastener storage.

    I am all-in on systainers, but am lusting after those Packout 2 drawer units. Having to unstack to get at stuff is a pain. Hopefully Festool comes out with a L-sized sortainer to match it.
    I like the Sortainer drawers being swappable so easily. I have my normal configuration; but can mix and match the fasteners that I expect to need for a particular job really easily.
    The different colors also makes a difference. I can use the colored latches to tell at a glance what a particular systainer has in it without needing to look at the label. Or for the most used stuff, tell my kids that I use as helpers which one to grab pretty easily.

    And you haven't even found the small sub containers for the drawers on Etsy yet. Welcome to the world of Systainers.
    The idea behind systaiers is great. Have everything you need for a function in one place, even if it means you need duplicates of consumables such as drill bits. It saves time. This is something I don't think the other vendors of packout boxes have figured out yet.

  • @jeffsmith4833
    @jeffsmith4833 Месяц назад +1

    I think they are made for two different usage. The Milwaukee pack out appears to be more on sight trades use and sustainer for shop or vehicle use. This is just my opinion, I understand that you can use both either way

    I feel like Pack Out is really geared towards the rough trades (who work during the rough in stage of new house construction). Framers, electricians, plumbers, etc. Systainers, I've only actually seen on-site being used by finish carpenters.

    I think for the North American market Milwaukee is putting more effort into putting stuff into modular storage than anyone else besides Festool. Bit kits, First aid, socket sets, hole saws, and maybe more are being offered in Packout now.

    Love your content and journey!
    We have Festool/Tanos, Packout, Rigid, Dewalt, and Bosch L-Boxx.
    Festool is great for indoor or van stored, 1-2 man crew finish carpenters like yourself. Best for Organization, capacity to footprint/weight factor, system integration & your tools aren't randomly banging around loose in their boxes damaging bits and such. They fit in most truck cross over job boxes too. They are not the most durable tho.
    Packout is basically indestructible, semi lockable (only for casual theft, hate that that's even a thing), & if not using drawers, waterproof. These can go out with GC crews doing something more rough than finish carpentry. Rigid same, but less options.
    Bosch L-Boxx is in a craptastic class by itself. It will break itself even in the workshop, bought it before Packout became a thing, & wish we didn't.

    Peter Millard from 10 minute workshop bought that table saw when it came out. He said it's good for small and thinner trim, but once you get into larger stuff you can it's not as happy.
    Have you had any issues? How's that whistlin diesel shirt?

  • @ajdonally1522
    @ajdonally1522 Месяц назад

    Milwaukee packout for screws and little bits is superior in my opinion. Bouncing around in the van the individual screws stay put..no spill over. And if I need to I can mix and match individual little trays into one packout. Close it up..carry it up a ladder without having to worry about it spilling.
    Are sustainers dust tight? How about water tight?
    I could have a packout in a room where alot of dust is being created and the tools inside will be dust free

    I have been saying the same thing about the size of these large boxes for years . As a finish carpenter ,Packout and box system like it are way too big and cumbersome. I really like and use Dewalt tstak system , they are the perfect size ,about the same size as the Festool boxes and they are not to expensive either.
    The other nice thing about going from Packout to Tanos ,is you are not contributing to the C.C.P. anymore.

    This is pretty funny actually - I have a boatload of Festool amd systainers but acknowledge that the packout systen also has its advantages to organizing tools. I would agree that the systainers are unbeatable for organizing and housing Festools, but the packouts are fantastic for miscellaneous handtools and accessories.

    Just wait until you get down the other slippery slope of German power tools. Mafell, the P1cc jigsaw is an absolute animal. The KSS40 or KSS50 might also be a good fit into your work flow. Timber Wolf Tools is the US distributor.

      Been on a similar kick in my trailer as well, Packout and systainers… waiting for the new SYS3 sortainers that are already out in Europe as they are designed to work the Bott smart van system. (Which I highly recommend you check out if going all systainer!!!!) Also check out the Dashboard PWS instead of the flimsy MFT3 table, huge improvement from a small American company.
