Festool TopRock Bluetooth Speaker is Very Different

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker

Festool has come out with a new TopRock Bluetooth speaker, built into a standard Systainer 3 tool box.

The new Festool TopRock Bluetooth speaker might seem like just about jobsite speaker, but there’s a big difference here, with the TopRock sporting a feature other brands’ music players don’t. It is also a tool box.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker Sections

The Festool TopRock features all of its music-playing components in the Systainer lid, with plenty of space in the bottom for holding your tools and accessories.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker Tool Storage

The TopRock is part Bluetooth speaker, part tool box.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker on Top of Tool Boxes

It stacks on top of other Festool Systainer tool boxes, and fits in their other Systainer carriers, drawers, and related accessories.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker Illuminated Buttons

The control buttons are illuminated, but that’s not all…

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker USB Charger

There is also a covered USB port for charging your personal electronic devices.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker Soft Close Lid

Festool even built-in a soft-close lid to help prevent slamming.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker Stereo Pair

The Festool TopRock features Bluetooth 5 with TWS (true wireless stereo), and so you can connect two TopRock speakers for more immersive room-filling sound.

Festool TopRock Systainer Bluetooth Speaker with Charger

The TopRock can be powered by its built-in battery or via AC adapter.

At this time, Festool has only announced the TopRock Bluetooth speaker in the UK and Europe. We don’t know if or when it might be released in the USA.

Features & Specifications

  • Systainer 3 form factor
  • Top and front handles
  • (4) neodymium speakers and (2) bass reflex systems
  • Built-in rechargeable battery
  • Power bank function with USB charging port
  • Illuminated buttons
  • Up to 10 hours of runtime at medium volume

Price: £189 excl VAT (~$244 USD)

Discussion

This is certainly a different take compared to pro cordless power tool brands’ various Bluetooth speakers and modular tool box form factor music players and jobsite radios.

Festool Systainers aren’t quite as durable as say Milwaukee Packout tool boxes or Dewalt ToughSystem tool boxes, but they’re not very fragile either.

A built-in rechargeable battery? It seems this was the only way to also allow for the TopRock to also allow for internal tool and accessory storage.

There are other Bluetooth speakers out there, and larger modular tool box radios. This seems to be the only one that also offers usable storage space.

Interesting.

    Having a complete- separate radio that stacks on the stack at least kinda makes sense because you can take it of. But if you have tools inside it and your going in & out of it all the time…. nope. Tool boxes are meant to protect the tools, meaning the tool boxes take some of the damage instead of the tool. Putting a speaker on the tool box makes as much sense as putting speakers on knee pads.

      Not that I will buy it, but in my opinion tool storage is perfect for phone, tablet, laser, stud finder and other electronic accessories.

    Kinda makes sense if you think about one of festool’s main market which is an installer in an already occupied or close to be work environment where space is a premium and he/she want or can only carry so much tools and a separate stereo takes up too much space and the volume level it could provide is not needed.

    You could have also made a Bluetooth setup similar without the toolbox below – and it would be quite thin.
    Interesting that by design it has to go on the top – some of the others can go elsewhere in the stack.

      Why can’t you put another Systainer on top of this one? There are notches in the top lid, and also the controls are on the front. I don’t see any reason why it can’t be anywhere in a stack.

      Might be muffled or echoed a little bit or otherwise less than ideal with something on top? But for transport, it looks to fit anywhere.

        Ah – I assumed the speaker grille was replacing some of the needed connections – but then again I’m used to packout.

    This is how it should be done, with all components in the lid and sides. I would happily buy this instead of what Milwaukee dreamed up.

    I can’t imagine this speaker being very loud. If it is it’s going to be annoying to listen to the tools rattling around in the box.

    Nice I reckon.
    Better if under the lid is battery slot(s) and a mains cord, so it could store and charge a set of batteries.
    Does anyone make a radio/charger combo?
    I wish AEG would, then I could justify a radio 🙂

    The good
    – in the lid of systainer – perfect
    – Has its own battery
    The bad
    -no radio (95% of the time we listen to FM)
    – exterior ac adapter (gets lost, broken or is a trip hazard)
    Minor issue
    -Tloc handle and branding is lame
