Thinking about buying a bunch of Systainers to fit all my tools, with customizable foam inserts.
I live in a small apartment and move often, so I thought it'd be the most modular and practical solution: for now I'll put them under my bed, then, once my living situation is a bit more settled, I'll probably use the rail system to put them in a custom cabinet with a door.
It sounds both more convenient and prettier than having a big tool chest with drawers in my living room.
To save some money, I was thinking about buying a single tall one and going the @Dammit route for my bike tools by stacking foam inserts inside, then separate the rest thematically in different systainers (metalwork, generic home tools, etc.).
Before I drop half a grand on that, any counter-argument to what I envision?
Also, what do you think about the SYS-MFT one? Could it replace a vice for simple metalwork (mounting mudguards mostly), with Festool's fast clamps?
I've seen it on here (@Dammit again, maybe?) but I can't find the post.
