Sorry, but it is closer to Apples to Apples than oranges; Systainer store prices are consistent between Anthracite and Light Gray. The other colors are a couple bucks more.

This is also not an XXL only thing; across the board on Toolnut they are all almost double the price.

So, the major point of my post why the price disparity? It's so much more it made me annoyed enough to post haha.

Just wondering if a huge price hike is coming and time to stock up.

Anthracite cases from Tanos are cheaper over here than grey ones from Festool - and they still have T-Locs available ….

TANOS has two "standard" configurations:

 - Anthracite with Anthracite features
 - Light Gray with Blue features

These are their "volume" plays and both are sold /by TANOS to whoever/ at the same price. That said, TANOS does NOT sell directly. Not unless you are a business with a signifficant order.

They have no retail "arm" so you will see prices all over the place. Depending what path /time, how many resellers, mode of transport etc./ the stock took to reach its final shelf/etail store.

It is easily possible Toolnut got the Anthracite ones at a high price - be it from a special order or whatever - and so stuck with it - that would also explain they sold out of the Light Grey ones while these stayed in stock ..


There is little point in trying to dig into these "anomalies". Not unless you want to dig into the Toolnut internal finances, that is.

have you asked ToolNut ?


perhaps @Shane Holland will drop by and comment.

Thanks Shane!

Wow, look at me, getting things done around here! haha
