TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 22 in. Small Tool Box

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this a few weeks and am using it for all my electrical test equipment. It has 2 storage compartments that are removable and have removable dividers. I was able to organize everything nicely and it is easy to locate my tools.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this box a couple weeks ago and didn't really know what to expect. It's surprisingly big, much bigger inside than it appears on the outside. And, it's got a really nice weight to it--you can feel that I'll take a beating and still stay strong. The two containers inside will be great for keeping any loose hardware or tools I might need to bring with me, and the space inside is large enough to be versatile and meet whatever needs a particular job might need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a week ago, it’s sturdiness impressed me. The front latches are very helpful securing the stuff inside, is kind of hard to close it but that means is almost sealed! It has a weather proof gasket all around so it will stay dry. The 2 containers on the sides are big enough to our several items. The patented auto connect side latches is a nice addition and It’s also a good looking tool box I needed to mention. Overall I’m satisfied with this, i got the feeling it will last me a long time. Dewalt you guys did great on this tough 2.0 system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is built like a tank. Although it is plastic, it will stand up to whatever you can throw at it. From the tensioned side handles, the reinforced lock ring, to the latches that are a sure thing, and the water proof seal, this thing is built to withstand rugged use. I really love that the lid stays propped open. I dont know if that is a product of the tight hinges, or it is meant to stay up, but that is a plus. This might be the start for me of getting the whole set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toolbox is solid & feels sturdy. It has a seal that goes around the open box that seals out dirt and water. The only minor complaint is the two included parts boxes don't feel as solid as the rest of the box. The smaller parts boxes have removable dividers. Works well for customizing how you want to use them. There's ample room to keep two power tools and hand tools. I would seriously look into the other size toolboxes that combine with this. It's a great way to bring your tools to a job site.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for the use of strapping to my atv for carrying tools on the trail for either break downs or doing trail maintenence, building in the woods. Sturdy box holds up well to all the bouncing around plenty of room for tools and best part is water tight so don't have to worry about water or dirt getting in and ruining tools would definitely recommend.

I recently received the bottom case as part of the sampling program and am fortunate to already own the three piece first generation of Tough Cases. I compared them yesterday and noted several upgrades which I’ll list. Pros 1. The latches are higher quality and easier to operate. I’ve heard complaints of them breaking off in the previous model and I myself pinched my finger once when closing. 2. The wheels are larger with a bigger tread. 3. The handle raises and lowers with the push of a button vs. a pull bar, which I found a little difficult to use. 4. The side auto connect latches are wonder, they easily click together and release. The old latches had to be smacked to connect and the handle of the top case was in the way when releasing. 5. The area where you can add a padlock is metal reinforced vs all plastic from the first model. 6. The new cases are 20% larger according to the website. 7. Also, I was happy to see the new and old cases are compatible with each other. Cons 1. While the exterior is water resistant, I conducted a water test on both old and new models to simulate rainy conditions. When the lid was opened on the old case, a small amount of water seeped through the hinge portion. On the new Tough System Cases, it poured in. 2. The wheels apparently are equipped with locks but I was unable to engage them. 3. The height of the rolling cart handle may not fit in trunks or trucks with tonneau covers. I’d personally like the next model to include a removable and collapsible cart. 4. There wasn’t an instruction manual and I had a few questions, such as how to use the brakes and what function the yellow clip on top served. 5. Another thing I’d like to see might be the addition of foam inserts of some type to keep tools from crashing together during transportation. Overall, it’s a nice product and the modifications are an improvement from the first models.

This review is for the top toolbox of the ToughSystem 2.0. The cover latches of this box are very secure while being easy to open and close. The rubber lid gasket is excellent and tools will stay clean and dry, even outside in your truck bed. The cover stands open at 90 degrees for easy access without flopping open fully. The improved side latch stacking system automatically locks the boxes together, but push on the bottom of the latch and it stays unlatched until you remove the box; very clever. There are handles on each side for stacking, and a center front handle with rubber inside for easy gripping and comfortable carrying. The two parts trays have removable dividers, and the tray lids have recesses so you won't have parts mixing from one compartment to the next; a nice touch. This is one rugged, well thought out tool box that should give years of reliable service.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid well constructed Tool box. I understand this is a storage system, however this particular box can be used as stand alone toolbox and is a good way to get into Dewalt's storage system. Things I like • Heavy duty but light weight a the same time. The front latches feel strong with positive lock mechanism. • Bigger than expected, you can fit most of your daily use tools, for example if you have multiple boxes this could be your top box with drill, impact driver, batteries, charger, drilling and driving bits and of course multiple size / types of screws. • The main handle is quite comfortable with a portion of the handle made of a softer material that provides a "premium feel" , I know this box is supposed to be rough and tough but is nice to have these small luxuries :) • IP65 rating, that means water resistant to regular rain, not to be submerged in the pool and by the way the rubber seal feel like it's goin to last for a log time. • Side handles, yes this allows you carry the box with 2 hands or have your 2 little kids carry the box full of stuff for you ;) Other uses I would not mind using this box to carry delicate electronics with a foam insert, in fact this would be lighter than the traditional metal boxes used in the AV industry to carry delicate components. I cannot speak about the auto-connect mechanism because this is my only box in the tough system, I may get another box in the future, if I do I'll came back and update this review. Overall this is a great tool \ multi use storage box. Regards

I am an apprentice electrician. I bought this because I recently started building up my power tool collection. I keep my impact, drill motor, reciprocating saw and circular saw in it. It’s pretty solid. I like it. It’s made my last few jobs a lot easier.
