FAQs

What material is the Shadow Foam made from?

The inserts are made from 100% polyethylene foam.

How do I achieve a perfect fit for my tools?

Arrange your tools on the foam, trace their outlines, and carefully cut along the lines. You can peel away layers to create depth for larger tools.

Can these inserts be used in other toolboxes?

These inserts are designed specifically for the Festool SYS3 L Systainer. While you could potentially cut them to fit other spaces, their optimal performance is within the intended Systainer.

Are the foam inserts waterproof?

The foam is resistant to water and common chemicals, making it easy to clean and durable in various conditions.

What are the available thicknesses for these inserts?

Shadow Foam inserts for the SYS3 L are available in thicknesses such as 30mm and 50mm.

Will the foam damage my tools?

No, the polyethylene foam is non-abrasive and designed to protect tools from impact and scratches.

How should I clean the foam inserts?

You can clean the foam with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing and allowing it to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Foam is difficult to cut cleanly.

Ensure you are using a very sharp cutting tool. A dedicated foam cutter or a fresh utility knife blade is recommended. Make slow, steady passes.

Cutouts are too large or too small.

For cutouts that are too large, you may need to re-cut or use additional foam layers. For cutouts that are too small, carefully widen the opening with your cutting tool.

Foam does not fit snugly in the Systainer.

Ensure you have selected the correct Shadow Foam insert size for your specific Festool SYS3 L Systainer model. Verify no debris is preventing a flush fit.

Tools are not staying securely in place.

Re-evaluate the cutouts; they should be tight enough to hold tools without excessive force. Consider if a deeper cutout is needed or if peeling additional layers would provide a better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Place the Shadow Foam insert into your Festool SYS3 L Systainer.
  2. Arrange your tools on top of the foam insert in their desired locations.
  3. Use a sharp cutting tool (like a utility knife or specialized foam cutter) to trace the outline of each tool onto the foam.
  4. Carefully cut along the traced lines. For multi-layer foam, you may peel away sections to create depth.
  5. Remove the cut foam pieces. Test the fit of your tools and make any necessary adjustments.

Compatibility:

  • Available in different thicknesses (30mm, 50mm) to accommodate various tool sizes.

Care:

  • Clean the foam with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  • Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the foam is dry before placing tools back into the Systainer.
  • The foam is UV resistant, but prolonged direct sunlight exposure should be minimized for maximum longevity.
