FAQs

What size Festool Systainers do these inserts fit?

These specific inserts are designed for the Festool Mini Systainer T-LOC 1 TL and Festool Mini Systainer T-LOC 3 TL models.

How do I customize the foam for my tools?

Arrange your tools on the foam, then use a sharp knife to trace their outlines and carefully cut away the foam. Peel away the cut sections to create custom compartments.

Is the foam durable enough for heavy-duty use?

Yes, the 100% polyethylene foam is designed to be durable, impact-resistant, and resistant to water and common chemicals, making it suitable for demanding professional environments.

Can I reuse the foam if I change my tools?

While the cutting process is permanent, you can often re-cut new sections or use the "cut and peel" method to adapt the existing foam to new tool configurations, though some indentations may remain.

How should I clean the foam inserts?

Clean the foam by simply wiping it with a damp cloth. For tougher messes, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth and air drying.

Are the foam off-cuts recyclable?

Yes, the foam is made from 100% polyethylene, and off-cuts are recyclable where local recycling facilities accept this type of material.

What is the thickness of the foam?

This particular product (Green 30mm) is 30mm thick. Other variants may be available in different thicknesses.

Troubleshooting

Foam is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a very sharp utility knife or a dedicated foam cutting tool. Ensure you are making controlled, shallow cuts and peeling away layers rather than attempting to cut through completely in one pass.

Tools do not fit snugly after cutting.

The "cut and peel" method allows for iterative adjustments. You may need to trim a little more foam to achieve a tighter fit. Ensure the tool is placed accurately before cutting.

Insert does not fit the Systainer properly.

Verify that you have the correct Shadow Foam insert model for your specific Festool Mini Systainer T-LOC size (T-LOC 1 TL or T-LOC 3 TL). Ensure no packaging material is obstructing the Systainer opening.

Foam retains an odor.

Although the foam is odorless, residual odors can sometimes occur. Allow the insert to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours. If necessary, wipe with a mild soap and water solution and air dry thoroughly.
