Customer Reviews for DEWALT TOUGHSYSTEM 22 in. Small Tool Box

I purchased this with the dolly and 3 other sized boxes and have not had a single regret. I can now carry all my tools and equipment on to a site in one trip as opposed to the three and four trips the various tool boxes and parts containers I used to use took. I have been using these boxes for a little over a month now and have not seen any signs of the latches breaking or other signs of poor construction. I have also really enjoyed the fact that I can keep all the boxes on the dolly and pull the middle or bottom boxes while leaving the upper boxes in place instead of having to unstack everything. Anything that helps keep a job site clean and organized is a plus in my opinion, and these boxes do the job great and look good doing it too.

I am very excited to go on this as the quality is outstanding and the concept that they have brought to construction is unbelievable…

I use it for my DeWalt cordless 7-1/4 circular saw with plenty of room!

Great compartments and easy to use with the other locking DeWalt boxes!

It's a good tool box to use also I just purchase it Black Friday

Great product.Super convenient. I bought a set of 3 it helps to stay organized and mobile at the same time.

Wish there was separators for the inside of the boxes and more options for modular insides, but all and all great product.

I am a professional painter i use to lug all my equipment in peice by peice. Unloading and setting up would take me an hour. Today with my tough system i rolled it into the bouse and was set up in ten minutes the home owner was even surprised. Not to mention he was happy having a contractor with quality equipment. Highly recomend buying. Save time and money

Great product, the sound and everything it does is great

My company purchased this to do Paint Your Own Pottery events. It is very convenient as it has plenty of room for paints and bisque as well as cups and compartments for brushes and tools. It's extremely sturdy and looks sleek and professional.

Holds all my drills and other cordless tools perfect. Built to last , love the construction, will buy again.

I have 3 of these boxes on my service van and they are awesome. They are tough, sturdy and are the quality you'd expect from Dewalt.

Works great to transport tools and keeps everything organized. Screws and stuff in the organizers don t come out even when tipped on its side.

Great tool box, love that's its a cart!!!

Light weight but very durable! I actually use it for my cupcake decorating stuff!! Great upgrade to what I had!!!!!!

Definitely pleased with my purchase. It's nice having tools organized in a box instead of tossed in a bag. Gave it only 4 out of 5 cuz the wheelie box was not as well build as the smaller two. Big one had cheap hinges w one washer and screw. 2 other ones had nice metal bracket w 3 screws.

really nice product would have given 5stars but am a little skeptic on the handle release and axles. It is built really well but the axle may take a beating as well as the release handle. We shall see as I am going to beat the heck out of this thing. Im using it for a merch container for my touring band. It will be thrown in and out of our van and abused. I think it will take the abuse and definitely recommend it to others! Quality is far superior to the ridgid and the husky brands hands down. I love it.

After reading too many reviews, here's my opinion Pro: Sound is nice. Bass is definitely there; but it isn't bloated. It puts some car audios to shame. Can be used upright, on its side or back Easy to use. Simple design. Presets easily. No external antenna. Internal is pretty good. Rubber feet for your wood floors Cons: Power plug- some want it bigger/heavier, but it'll make the whole product heavier. to each their own. I'm not sure if this is a con. Dewalt is starting to mix their battery stuff up. Max Battery capacity is 4 or 5 amps. i.e. your new 6amp flexvolt might not fit. I use a 20v 2amp battery and it lasts well over 4 hrs. Sorry. I'm too lazy to test this. Battery compartment foam is not the best way to lock the battery. Compartments are a little limited; but expected for its size. USB charger could be better Overall: I'd recommend it for someone that loves sound quality and doesn't need a heavy cord with multiple plugs.

I also have the DS130, DS300, DS400 & DWS08225. I had to order the DS450 online since there were no units in the stores. The DS450 needs to be in the stores especially when the other units are sold in stores. System

I really like this case for my tools. It is very handy that it stacks and locks into the other cases. I also have the large case with the built in wheels (like a hand truck). I have four different cases, (one large with wheels, one medium and two smaller cases) all stacked together. My only negative comment I have with this case, are the two fold down yellow containers, that are attached to the lid on the inside of the case. These two containers are two small to really hold anything and are in the way for storage of larger items. I use this case for the storage of my trim router and the accessories that go with it. I did remove the two yellow fold down containers. The two yellow containers and the four yellow that bins that came with the case, are now on my workbench and used for small odd parts.

I've been wanting on of these for a while, and I am very happy with it. I got it a a very reasonable price, and it included free shipping thank you.

Holds up in cold weather better than most plastic tool boxes. I would recommend this for the tradesman who needs a durable box that can take a beating in the back of a truck. We modified the box to accept equipment we need top protect. The previous boxes for this equipment had to be replaced quite often and would crack a month or two into use, the new boxes are doing much better in our work environment. Bob H.

Everything I hoped that they would be.

bought this radio for work and play, have to say I'm impressed, I can hear it clearly over the rivet guns and other power tools at work, as for battery life on my 2ah battery It seems to last awhile but I normally have it plugged in, so I can't really say too much on that aspect

These new DeWalt cases are made from glass-nylon reinforced polycarbonate. That’s one of the toughest, most resilient yet lightweight materials known to man. But there are other features in the DeWalt design that makes this a top choice. For one, the SIZE. As you can see from the photos, I used this to hold BOTH my cordless Driver and Drill with batteries installed. Notice the photo that shows only the driver with the bit carrying case. See how the bit-case nestles into the handle of the driver? That actually fits so well it holds the driver securely so it doesn’t move during transport. Another photo shows how you can pack the drill on top of that so it too is held securely when the lid is closed. Both of those have batteries installed so they are ready to work. No fumbling to find and install a battery. Just grab and GO! Those LARGE yellow bins lock securely into detent-tabs of the case. They also stay put even if you’re rough on your tools at the end of a hard day. Go ahead and throw them in your truck. The nails, batteries and precious tools all stay put. You won’t find a messy nuisance of scattered screws or the pain of a broken tool. I like the fact that they are large enough to hold an entire BOX of screws or nails. There are other similar tool boxes on the market, but so far, only the DeWalt has these LARGE bins that actually fit whole boxes of fasteners. By throwing WHOLE BOXES of fasteners into these large bins, that saves me the trouble of labeling each bin. The boxes themselves show me what’s inside. I can also just grab the whole box instead of a handful of fasteners. Notice the yellow rim around the perimeter of the box. That is a rubber gasket that helps prevent water from infiltrating. It works! I tested it by filling a tub with water and submerging the box. No water got inside. On each side of the main box, there are shallow flip-down holders. They have dividers that make perfect places for special drill bits, extra long driver bits and odd small fasteners. These two bins lock closed securely and then flip back up to lock in position securely. The metal latches are super sturdy. Unlike some other designs that have plastic latches and hinges, DeWalt engineers chose steel. Steel flexes to conform yet remains solid when locked. Despite their durability, these are easy to open so I never felt like I’d bust a knuckle operating the latches. As you can see from the photo, you can pack plenty of tools and fasteners into these! I got A cordless Drill and Driver, BOTH with batteries installed, PLUS two spare batteries, all my DeWalt bits in the case, plus specialty bits and still had room for SIX whole boxes of fasteners. You could get more in if you had to. These are PRO quality and live up to the “TOUGH system“ name! Good design makes them more convenient and versatile than most other boxes I’ve seen. You really should check these out in person to see and feel the quality. These photos show one way to organize drilling and driving stuff. I'm sure others will find their own uses too!

This is a ruggedly built tool box, with a large comfortable handle and the ability to be used as a standalone box or joined together with other boxes in this series (or used with a metal carrier). The latches are large metal pieces that securely holds the box closed. Four removable inserts are provide, to organize smaller parts as well as two hinged, swing-down trays for small parts or, for example, drill bits, which, when placed in the “stored” position are latched closed to prevent spillage of the contents. These trays, while convenient, also appear to be the only weak-link in the construction and will, no doubt, be the first component to meet its demise if subjected to arduous duty. The latch assemblies are retained by a screw, so it appears that they are replaceable, if damaged. While ruggedly constructed, the box itself is not overly heavy, permitting more “stuff” to be carried in it. All in all, a nicely made box.

This toolbox system is amazing. Built to last and works well with the other boxes really well.

Just got this today and have only played around with it for about 20 minutes but so far, very impressed. I had the older model dewalt for about 5 years and it finally died on me. Upgraded to this and it's just that, a huge upgrade! Sound quality is very very good, was not expecting it to be so good. Lots of highs and really good bass. Gets very very loud and no distortion like the older model. There may be some if you turn the bass, treble, and highs all the way up but at mid level on bass and the other two up, sounds great. I like the fact that you can charge your radio battery and phone with this unit. Easy to connect to Bluetooth. Radio menu takes a little bit to get used to but overall very user friendly. Nice buttons and screen display. Easy pop up flap to store phone and MP3 player and cords. Don't think anyone will be disappointed in this radio. Don't know about battery life yet, hopefully it will last at least 8 hours on battery, that's what I got out of older model. If you want a great sounding rugged radio buy it.

Had about 3 months now. Snatched one when first delivered to Home Depot. Great box. Lost a star and a half because: Scenario: you are on knees, need to pull box closer without standing up. 1) With handle in down position, cannot roll box by tilting back. A second latch position 1" above bottom would add versatility. (see image, only about 1/4" (1 paint stick) clearance 2) No pull handle near Dewalt logo, so you must resort to pulling the box towards you by grasping front panel, and plastic cracks at lock loop hole. (see image) Add material to this area and a recessed pull near bottom where case is stronger. Haven't turned over, but hoping there are nubs or feet on bottom molded in to prevent wear from sliding. 3) Handle release gets temperamental, sometimes hard to release to extend, sometimes when extended locking mechanism doesn't engage on a side. Give handle a twist helps center, but should have been avoided by design. Would I buy again? Yes, hoping that plastic crack doesn’t indicate future problems with case’s integrity and the bottom has raised skids (sacrificial).

This radio is great! We have bought other Dewalt radios before and this one is certainly the best. It gets LOUD and the sub makes the music sound perfect. I was scared when I was buying it that my boyfriend's phone wouldn't fit in it because he has a huge phone, but it does, which makes it even better! The ONE thing I don't like about it is the weight. It is REALLY heavy, but once I get the rest of the tough system it won't matter as much. All in all a great product.
