Power tool cases

[mattle40]

Anybody know of any replacement cases for power tools?
Mine are a bit battered now and I'd like to have all my tools in matching cases (slightly OCD)
I'm picturing a standard drill box but filled with a foam to cut out the shapes for your drills etc

Any ideas appreciated

Cheers guys

You could use peli? type cases, those silver briefcase type ones that come full of foam you cut out as required. Think there pricey though.

That's exactly what I'm thinking of, is peli a brand name?

have a look at the festool systainer sytem. iv got loads and they work great. go for the t loc system.
you can get them in different coulours for a tanos (manufacturer, sister company of festool)

This looks a good system, just trying to figure out what you actually get for your money, if you buy a standalone case does it come completely empty and you buy the foam inserts?

everything you buy from festool is only the basic thing. everything is extra.
you can buy systainers,empty,with plastic inserts,sys with small boxs, drawers, and storage in the lid. you can buy pick and pluck foam to store the tools.
there is also a product (fastcap) kaizan foam that you can use to make inserts.
they also do mini and maxi sized systainers.
i love the system. but i have some of their tools so keeping the system is a no brainer.

I actually seen some of those metal cases with foam in the tool section of maplins. Maybe worth a look?

Another thing to think on

They looked ok for the money and had foam inside. Cant say how durable they are though but may have one myself next time I am there.
