Review: Festool Sortainer Organizers

ToolGuyd: I am a huge fan of Festool’s Systainer organizers, but tend to favor Bosch L-Boxxes and Dewalt ToughSystem storage cases. L-Boxxes are more affordable, especially around Christmas and Father’s Day, and ToughSystem cases are larger and stronger.

I don't have a lot of tools. I could probable put all the tools I own in a pillow case. But one day I hope to have a large set of tools and I know that at that time I will want to keep them organized. The Festool Sortainer organizers sound like a pretty good option for doing that. I think that the flexibility of the boxes is really key to having a good experience with organization. I would like to know if the other sorting systems that the article talks about offer the same sort of flexibility. I don't know that much about what type of sorting systems are out there on the market so It is really hard for me to say that this is a good option, but from what I have heard I think that it is. The only thing that really bothers me about this system is that it is so expensive. I can't see myself buying all my tools at once and I can't see my self buying all my sorting systems at once, so maybe this cost will be spread out and I won't need to worry about it to much.

I have quite a few tools in my tool chest that I don't really use very often. The reason that I don't use them is that they are all in one big drawer and even when I have a chance to use them the drawer is so cluttered that I can't find the one I want and honestly I don't really know what tools I have because they get lost in there. So an organizer like this would be perfect because I could keep everything separate and easily accessible.
