FAQs
What size MAKPAC case is this?
This is a Type 3 MAKPAC case, which offers a larger internal volume compared to Types 1 and 2.
Can I use this foam insert with other systainer brands?
The foam insert is designed to fit snugly within the Makita MAKPAC Type 3 case. While the case itself is compatible with other systainer brands, the foam insert's fit is optimized for the Makita case.
How do I clean the foam insert?
The foam can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, allow it to air dry completely before placing tools back.
What is the purpose of the pre-scored foam?
The pre-scored lines allow you to easily pull away sections of foam to create custom shapes that perfectly cradle your tools and accessories, preventing them from shifting during transport.
Can I remove the foam insert entirely?
Yes, the foam insert can be removed if you need to store larger items that do not require custom shaping.
How many MAKPAC cases can be stacked safely?
Makita typically recommends stacking up to four MAKPAC cases for stable transport and storage.
Troubleshooting
Case not locking securely to another MAKPAC case
Ensure the connecting clips on both cases are fully extended and free of debris. Check that the cases are aligned correctly before attempting to connect.
Foam insert is difficult to customize
For very tight fits, a sharp utility knife can be used carefully to score additional lines or trim excess foam. Ensure the tool is placed accurately before making cuts.
Latches feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the latch mechanisms and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Avoid excessive force, which can damage the latches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves customizing the foam insert. Place your tool or accessory within the foam and identify the areas that need to be removed. Gently pull away the pre-scored foam sections to create a snug compartment for each item. Ensure all removed foam pieces are cleared from the case.
Compatibility: This MAKPAC case is designed to interlock with other Makita MAKPAC cases (Types 1, 2, 3, and 4). It is also compatible with systainer systems from other manufacturers such as Festool and Tanos, allowing for integration into a mixed-brand storage setup.
Care: Clean the exterior and interior of the case with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic or foam. Ensure the interlocking latches are free of debris to maintain their functionality. Store the case in a dry environment when not in use.
