Description

In a case, pliers often lie on top of each other. In the rack they stand on edge side by side, each in a slot that suits its thickness. There is no dimensional standard for pliers; the slots are a series of widths.

  • Tile A: slots 15, 20, 25, 30 and 30 mm. Tile B: 35, 40 and 40 mm.
  • Length: pliers up to 185 mm (M) or 158 mm (L).
  • Height: rack 45 mm; a 60 mm wide plier stands about 20 mm above it, fits from M 137 (not in M 112).
  • No connector bars: the trays stand in their base rings; the case walls hold them.

Variants and installation: Systainer³ M (from above, one long side at the front): front: left A (15–30 mm), right B (35–40 mm); back: left B (35–40 mm), right A (15–30 mm). The back row is the same file turned by 180°; the two R 15 corners of every tile face the case wall. Systainer³ L (from above, one long side at the front): front: left A (15–30 mm), middle B (35–40 mm), right A (15–30 mm); back: left B (35–40 mm), middle A (15–30 mm), right B (35–40 mm). The back row is the same file turned by 180°; the two R 15 corners of every tile face the case wall.

Two parts per tile: tray and base ring. The tray stands loose in the ring; the ring carries the rim, the chamfer and the R 15 corners and keeps the tray floor 5.5 mm above the case floor. A floor over a hollow underside could not be printed in one piece without supports.

Dimensions: Inside dimensions taken from the TANOS price list 2026; our part has not been tested in the case yet. Systainer³ M: 2 × 2 tiles of 193.6 × 136.3 mm (inside 389.5 × 275 mm), 2 connector bars; Systainer³ L: 3 × 2 tiles of 166.3 × 136.4 mm (inside 501.5 × 275.2 mm), 3 connector bars. The slot widths are a series, not a standard (estimate). The corner radius, floor profile (floor cross, radius between floor and wall) and wall draft of the cases are not published. That is why we relieve generously: R 15 in the case corner, a 4 mm chamfer at the bottom edge, a hollow underside with a rim (a floor cross up to 5 mm high stays clear) and 1.0 mm clearance per side to the case, 0.3 mm between tiles. Print the free fit sample set first: it shows on your own case whether corner, floor edge and clearance work.

Material: PETG recommended, because a tool case quickly ends up in a car or in the sun. PLA works too, but it deforms in a hot car or in the sun.

Brands: Made to fit Systainer³/Sortainer³, not an accessory by TANOS or Festool, no affiliation with them. No logos and no lettering on the parts.

If a plier is too thick for its slot, use the next wider one.

FAQ

Which material should I use for this tool case insert?

Recommended: PETG (alternatively PLA). PETG recommended, because a tool case quickly ends up in a car or in the sun. PLA works too, but it deforms in a hot car or in the sun.

Do I receive a printed part?

No. You get the print files and print the part yourself or use a print service. You get the download link right after payment.

Have you printed the part and tested it in a case?

Not yet. Inside dimensions taken from the TANOS price list 2026; our part has not been tested in the case yet; the tool dimensions come from the standards named. That is why you should print the free fit sample set and a single tile first.

Is this an accessory by TANOS or Festool?

No. The parts are made to fit Systainer³/Sortainer³, not an accessory by TANOS or Festool, no affiliation with them. We name products only to describe the fit.
