German Overdesign: Festool's Fancy New Systainer Organizers
Festool has just unveiled the 3rd generation of their Systainer Organizers, produced by sister company Tanos.
If you read about our visit to both Festool and Tanos, you'll recall that the Tanos rep seemed incredulous when a reporter asked her if Systainers were recyclable. They are--they're 100% ABS--but the rep was almost offended, pointing out that no one who owns a Systainer would ever get rid of them, hence they'd never wind up in recycling.
In any case: The new Organizers, which retail for $60 and $70, are fine examples of the German overdesign that Festool fanatics crave. Here they are presented by Festool USA's trainer Brian "Sedge" Sedgely, in his killer New England accent:

The Organizers will hit the market in February.

If they don't live on a shelf they crack. All the time. The only reason people don't throw them out is because they paid so much for a plastic box that they feel guilty about it. I've got five of them in the attic that I need to smash and get rid of right now, I've just been too lazy to drag them down.
not overdesigned, but very well designed, and the indignation about recyclability is on point. my systainers have taken more abuse than I'd care to admit over the last 10-15 years, and they all still function perfectly.
What exactly is overdesigned about this? It seems quite restrained and function-oriented to me.
