This is a \u003cstrong\u003etool storage case\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003eorganized transport between the workshop, vehicle, and construction site\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003e204842\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you already work out of the Festool system, this case matters because it keeps your gear protected, stackable, and easy to move without turning the back of your van into a pile of loose equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this Systainer useful is not just the box itself, but how it works in the real world. Festool's T-LOC design lets you close, open, and connect the case in a single turn, so you can stack multiple units together and still get to what you need without wasting time. For contractors, installers, remodelers, and serious DIY users, that means faster setup, faster cleanup, and less hunting around for bits, fittings, or small tools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SYS3 M 187 size gives you a practical middle-height storage option. At \u003cstrong\u003e15.59 in. long, 11.65 in. wide, and 7.36 in. high\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is compact enough to carry easily but still gives you \u003cstrong\u003e4.20 gallons\u003c\/strong\u003e of storage volume. The inner dimensions of \u003cstrong\u003e15.31 in. x 10.83 in. x 5.75 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e tell the real story here: you have usable interior space for hand tools, layout gear, accessories, consumables, and small cordless tool setups, but you are not paying for oversized empty space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFestool built the Systainer3 platform around mobility. This case was developed as part of a broader transport system that ties the workshop and the construction site together, including integration with bott vehicle equipment and compatibility across the Systainer lineup. That system angle is the reason a lot of pros buy into it. Instead of a random stack of cases that do not lock together, you get repeatable organization from shelf to van to floor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the durability side, the case is meant to protect contents from dust, spray water, and changing temperatures during transport and storage. It also has real carrying and stacking numbers behind it. The case itself weighs only \u003cstrong\u003e3.75 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, but it is rated for a \u003cstrong\u003e44.09 lb load capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e88.18 lbs when connected\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003e220.46 lb lid load\u003c\/strong\u003e. That matters if your cases get stacked in a trailer, van, or shop corner and still need to hold up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis version comes \u003cstrong\u003ewithout a tool insert\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is worth knowing up front. That gives you flexibility if you want to set it up for your own layout rather than being locked into a molded insert. It is a better fit for users who want custom storage for mixed accessories, fittings, measuring tools, sanding supplies, fasteners, or small hand tools rather than a dedicated home for one exact machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompatibility is a big part of the value here. The Festool 204842 Systainer3 M 187 can be connected with other Systainer3 units, previous Systainer generations, mobile dust extractors, and other system accessories. If you are already using Festool cases, that means this one drops into the stack cleanly. If you are building a more organized transport system from scratch, this is one of those pieces that helps keep the whole setup consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? This is a smart pick for woodworkers, finish carpenters, installers, electricians, service techs, and general contractors who carry tools and parts from place to place and want a cleaner, more repeatable storage setup. If you just need the cheapest plastic box, this is not that. If you want organized transport that works as part of a larger Festool storage system, the \u003cstrong\u003eFestool 204842 Systainer3 M 187\u003c\/strong\u003e is exactly the kind of case that earns its keep over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrganized Storage That Moves With You\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/50176960069926_d76232463854.jpg\" alt=\"Festool 204842 Systainer3 M 187 storage case shown closed on a clean background, highlighting the front handle and T-LOC latch for workshop and jobsite transport\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Festool Systainer is built to keep gear protected and easy to move, whether it lives in the shop, in the van, or on the job.
