## Description

The Makita Interlocking Cases were created as a solution to efficiently organize and transport an ever increasing stable of power tools.

Review: Here are the inside dimensions for those that need them! - For the life of me could not find consistent inside dimensions listed for these Makita systainers, not even on the Makita website, until I finally ordered a couple of them for myself. Low and behold the sticker labels on the systainers contain the inside dimensions written right on them! So now we've arrived at the moment all of the frustrated questioners have been waiting for: Inside / interior / inner dimensions of Makita interlocking cases: Large interlocking case: 7-1/4" x 15-1/4" x 11-1/4" Small interlocking case: 3" x 15-1/4" x 11-1/4" Since about half of the interior side of the lid comes down further than the other to accommodate the recessed handle, I assume these are the smallest interior dimensions of the case. I cannot understand why these inside dimensions are so difficult to come across before purchase. Reviews and answers here and on Home Depot are far from few and between, and whatever answers provided are conflicting or misleading. So far I've only purchased the large and small, but will try and report back with inside dimensions of the medium and extra large if I order them. As for the cases themselves, unlike some of the negative reviews, I find them to be robust enough for tool cases and I like that they have four locking mechanisms to attach to other systainers unlike the two, seemingly flimsy ones, found on other brands of locking cases. I also like the simple squareness of these cases compared to the "bone shaped" competitor, which seems like it would compromise how tools fit in the case and how they can be customized. Their simple rectangle shape without too many recessed or rounded edges allow for maximum storage and customization. I purchased the large size for the Makita 3-1/4 HP RP2301FC Plunge Router, which I believe is the largest router Makita makes. Unfortunately this router is slightly too large for even the large case. It's about a half inch or less too wide to fit. It will fit if you start by placing it in the box at an angle, but it ends up pressing up against the front and back of the case, bowing it out a bit and leaving no wiggle room. I am looking for a custom fit using a foam insert and certainly cannot do that in this case since it barely fits without any foam. I am therefore going to purchase the extra large case, which might be the same height as depth (11-1/4"), but I am hoping that I will be able to fit it sideways with one of the arms facing the roof of the lid that is recessed further away from the handle indentation. (I think, at least hope, it will fit this way, and will try to report back with results.). With the router stored on its side I will be able to easily fit the case of "POWERTEC 71051 Router Template Guide Set". The template guide set case already fits the large box directly along the inside edge very nicely, and I plan to mold the foam around it to keep it in place. It will also easily have room for the vacuum attachment and other router accessories. Although the large case does not accommodate the tool I was hoping it would, I think I'm going to keep it since I'm sure to find another tool or use for it (if not woodworking tools than I'll probably use it for photography equipment or something else entirely). I purchased the small case to fit my growing router bit collection and to connect to the larger case holding the router so that I can store and tote them around together. I purchased a foam insert with predrilled holes for 1/4" and 1/2" shank bits. The small case only has an inside height of 3", and while some of my router bits (particularly spiral and flush trim bits) are up to 4" long, I plan to drill into the foam at a diagonal angle so that they can still be stored in the small systainer. I ordered the "POWERTEC 71437 Customizable Foam Insert for Festool Systainer, Makita Interlocking Case" to custom fit my router into a large case, and the "POWERTEC 71046 Router Bit Tray for 110 Bits" to fit into the small case to hold all of my router bits. The customizable foam insert seems well made and is a perfect fit for the Makita cases. The foam is firm and I believe it will hold up well to heavy tools. What I didn't know is that the foam insert comes with another cutout of foam to put on the inside of the lid, which is a nice surprise. The foam for the lid holds in place all on it's own, but could easily be glued, taped, or even tapped in if needed. The router bit tray hasn't arrived yet, but am expecting the same quality based on the reviews.
Review: Quality, Functional, and Great for Portability - Some reviews on these call them cheap, and while the newest offering from Millwaukee are pretty amazing in build quality they also come in at about 30% more expensive than these and don't work with existing systems like these. I really like these Makita Cases. I have several, the first one came with my Makita Track Saw, and I loved it, they are actually very sturday, they stack really well, they lock together well, the plastic clasps can be stiff at times and sometimes need a little non-oil based lubrication, you could use sometime like WD40 but, then that attracts dust. But, it really isn't necessary. Contrary as well to what others have said they do have a spot for a lock on the right side, they are sturdy and strong, they are very functional, have a lot of volume / room. I have been buying additional ones for other tools as they make a great portable toolbox when combined that I can simply grab individual tools and go, they keep tools stowed and organized, and the boxes organize and stack, and store really well in areas with limited space. I recommend these. They could be cheaper but, for the price they are pretty good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these compatible with the systainer foam inserts?**
A: I can’t answer about the inserts but I can tell you these are junk. As a long-time Makita guy, these have been Nothing but disappointment for me. They’re made really cheap. The plastic is thin & brittle, the patches are hard to operate. There’s almost no Makita tool I don’t recommend but these cases, junk

**Q: Will this fit my 5007MG 7 1/4 circ saw?**
A: No your saw is slightly bigger than the internal dimensions

**Q: hi !   is this material step on very easy to crack ? thank you !**
A: This is a fairly rugged case for the money, but I wouldn’t use it as a step stool.   The cases interlock nicely, but Makita is behind on offering a true storage system.  They don’t offer rolling carts and the foam inserts you can buy as an accessory are soft and won’t last.   I had some custom foam inserts made that work much better.   Festool has the best storage cases and storage accessories; however, they are three times the price of  these Makita cases.   It comes down to your pocket book and how much you are willing to invest ina storage system

**Q: Does this box nest with Festool boxes?**
A: Yes to classic style top or bottom , or a Tloc on top only
