We love our Systainers. Most of that love is about opportunity — the ecosystem gives you room to build custom fitouts that shape how your tools are stored and how the work flows around them. But when the job is efficient organization, sorting smalls and hardware and consumables so they are visible and repeatable, we reach for a Sortainer or an M or L 89 Organizer. Those are the cases our SYS-ORG bins were built to drop into.
Tanos saw the same thing we did. Marrying open storage on top with organized drawers below is the way to carry tools and the parts that feed them in one case. That is what the Combi has always been — open storage up top, one drawer underneath. The catch is that one drawer is sometimes not enough. Enter the limited-run Systainer³ Combi/2 M 379: the same open top, now over two full pull-out drawers.
The drawers are where the bins belong
This is the part that makes the Combi/2 worth the attention. Both of our SYS-ORG bin heights, half and full, drop straight into those drawers. No workaround, no shimming. The drawers run on the same insert-box grid the whole Systainer organization line shares, which is exactly what our bins were designed around. Sort by color, by category, however your work runs, and the drawer reads at a glance before you open it. Two drawers means you stop rationing that organization across one tray.
One way to build it out
Picture a cabinet install running out of a single Combi. The open top takes the drill and driver combo, set into a custom foam fitout cut to hold the drill, the driver, both batteries, and the charger, each in its own pocket so the whole kit lifts in and out together and nothing shifts loose on the drive.
The top drawer is where the color coding starts to earn its keep. A couple of our SYS-ORG Bit Cassette bins in Festool Green hold the Centrotec drill and driver bits, the green reading as the drill side of the kit before you look twice. Beside them, a Bit Cassette bin in Deep Orange carries the specialized work, the self-centering drill bits and the shelf-pin hole bits, orange standing in for the cabinet hardware side, Salice and Blum. Then a few half-height SYS-ORG bins fill in the consumables, each color chosen to mean something: shelf pins in orange, euro screws in blue for metric, light grey for the standard cabinet screws. You stop reading labels and start reading color. The drawer tells you where everything is before your hand gets there.
The bottom drawer carries the workholding. A couple of SYS-ORG Pod Bins hold your SYS-GRP pods on the drive, so the vacuum setup travels sorted and protected instead of loose in a tote, and it is ready to deploy the moment you are on the jobsite.
That is one build. Yours will sort differently, and that is the point. The case gives you the open top for a fitout and two drawers for the bins, and the color system carries whatever meaning your work assigns it.
Where to start
If your work runs heavy on smalls, the drawers earn their keep first: SYS-ORG bins, sorted your way, doubled now that there are two. The open storage and the organized drawers stop being a trade-off. In this case, you get both.
Frequently asked
Do FORG3D SYS-ORG bins fit the Systainer³ Combi/2 M 379 drawers?
Yes. Both half-height and full-height SYS-ORG bins seat in the Combi/2 drawers, which run the same insert-box grid used by Systainer³ Organizers and Sortainers.
What should go in the open top compartment?
The open top is best suited to a custom fitout or foam for a tool set, like a drill and driver combo with its batteries and charger, each held in its own pocket.
What is the Systainer³ Combi/2 M 379?
A limited-run Tanos case with an open Systainer compartment over two pull-out drawers, stackable and compatible with all three Systainer generations.
Can I store vacuum pods in the drawers?
Yes. SYS-ORG Pod Bins hold SYS-GRP pods and accessories in a drawer, so a vacuum workholding kit travels sorted and deploys straight off the truck.
