100% the systainer is made for the mobile installer. But I can see its worth in the shop as long as the shop is 1000 square feet or more. In a 500 square foot shop I feel that you use up too much real estate per tool. I have 8 sanders in a drawer that is 6" tall 30" deep and 30" or so wide as well as the accessories that go with them. My Track saw/ Of1400/Domino/2 palm routers/ direct accessories that came in each box all fit in a drawer 12" high 36" wide 24 deep. 2 cordless 12 volts/ drill set/jigsaw/multi tool all fit in a 6" tall 30" deep and 30" If I were to have each in their own systainer It would be 16" wide tower 24' tall. I dont go anywhere with these tools I have another set of portable tools in the truck for going out. If I had 1200 square feet and room for being spread out I see the appeal of systainer drawers.
