Bosch tools copying the Festool Systainer model

**Rob Z** · 08-09-2010

I found this video on another forum. Bosch tools (of which we have quite a few) are now being packaged in their version of the Festool Systainers.

The old-style soft bags have driven me nuts for years because they collect junk and dirt and I can't find bits and other small parts that roll around into the corners. The manufacturers long ago did away with the old-fashioned steel cases that I grew up with. This new case looks handy.

perfect for kitchen fitting that one, nice and small to get in the cupboards. Not got much Bosch gear myself, in fact I think only my angle grinder is

ive got a lot of bosch and im impressed with their durability, I hate the soft bags too, the plastic cases are the worst, ive made wooden boxes in the past

ive always liked the systainer system and have considered buying the systainer boxs in the past

Mike, I still have my 20 year old Porter Cable jigsaw. I recently bought a Festool jigsaw for fine work. The PC is a bit of a beast, but I hate to say it---the Festool is much better.

The PC is used on site for cutting subfloor and so forth. The Festool is reserved for finish work.

Doug, I think you posted a video one time that showed you cutting with a Bosch jigsaw....

Hey there Mike, the Systainers are quite spendy, but because I am so bad about keeping organized, the Systainers are almost a necessary evil for me.
