Thanks, I suspected something like this. In my case, it's just by chance that two of my old / second hand bought power tools came in these cases, I'm happy they stack but it's not a necessity for me, I'm only an occasional DIYer.
Rather than buying the plastic cases I've actually made my own one for my plane and belt sander, with left over ply from roof work.

Systainers are made by TANOS and lots of brands use them, the only difference really is the colour scheme. You can buy pre-cut foam inserts in shadowfoam or pick n pluck etc...
All my tools are in them... decent sized form factor to just be manageable on the front of a bike if I need to transport. The stacking functionality makes storage of multiples easy.
You wanna try and get the modern T-loc ones rather than the four-clip style more commonly used by Makita with the name "mak-pac". the former fits together much quicker and easier.
If you have a mix of the old style and the new, the new ones have to go on top of a stack... might not mater to most but can be frustrating if you have a system of any kind.
The cheapest ones I've ever bought are black with the grey clip and say "Panasonic" on the side.
If you want a wheely base for them, the metabo/hitachi one is the cheapest I've found.
