Amazing review! I actually just bought the three stacked Tough system version one because it was on sale for $110. I purchased two of them. The Tough System V2 was on sale for 180, but I decided I’d rather have two full sets for a little bit more, even if it’s the older generation. I also only do work for my family, so I’m not using them as often as a pro might. I currently have all my DeWalt tools in their silly bags which I can’t stand. There’s gonna be a major upgrade and I’m very excited to start organizing my stuff. I’m constantly searching for my tools or attachments or bits and stuff.

This was an awesome video I really appreciate it. Very informative high quality video.

DeWalt tough systems are starting to be marked down inside our store. I noticed that today for the first time. As I work in hardware in Home Depot I watch for these sorts of things. As I mentioned before there are several Ryobi tools also being marked down significantly - if you can find them. Even the Ridgid 9 AH bluetooth battery has had its price cut from $199 to $100 and now sits in our clearance end cap. There is a special on one of the Milwaukee small parts organizer, priced down to $20. I don't know if that one fits onto their packout system. The Ridgid small parts organizer had been cut by $5 to $25. That organizer does fit onto the Ridgid box systems. But back to DeWalt. What it means to me is that the 2.0 is coming to stores as soon as the original tough systems have been more or less cleared out. . Currently there are shortages in everything. Vendors are having difficulty meeting demand. It reminds me of the facemask and toilet paper shortages of last Spring. So Jeff, if your followers are thinking about adding to their original tough systems, now is the time to do that for two reasons: The Dewalt 2.0 is coming and the previously mentioned vendor shortages across the board. . A final tidbit regarding DeWalt. Their folding table which bounces around in price between $69 and $99 is now scanning for $99 inside the store. But you can buy it online for $87. You can always ask an employee if they'll match the HD website. They don't have to inside the store (I know, it's odd that the HD store may not match the HD website) but if you're polite you might get it. Politeness and kindness pays inside the store. I will give nice customers a break in price even when they don't ask (not always though. It depends on the situation). But I never give an overbearing and rude customer a discount - ever - even when they ask. . As always, use the HD app on your smartphone.

Tilting back handle and hinge placement definitely better on the 1.0 system. The 2.0 rolling box lid hold lots of water if caught in the rain and the lid tips it all into the box when you open it. Massive design flaw. I've had to glue on a piece of EPDM to direct the rain over the hinges. The water test hinted at this problem, but didn't show it to its full extent.

I still use the DEWALT TOUGHSYSTEM TROLLEY - 150KG DSCARRIER. Still can’t imagine that the newer models can be as tough for use on a building site. Plus that you can slide the cases out individually so not to use up too much floor space.

The biggest deal breakers on the 2.0 are the nice stainless steel front latches being replaced with those cheap-looking plastic and wire latches, and the elimination of the nice side handles on the 1.0. For those reasons alone, I just bought a bunch of the 1.0 boxes while they're still available. I don't consider the spring loaded side latches as that big of a deal.

@jeffostroff

3 жыл бұрын

The front latches are actually an improved design. People were reporting problems with the 1.0 where the front latches break because it's a thin amount of plastic that secures the wire. Also it's only the large tool box that no longer has the side handles, the other 2 new boxes still have side handles.

3 жыл бұрын

@@jeffostroff That's weird, since the largest box is more likely to need the side handles.

Hey jeff Great review video, very detailed & thorough. Much appreciated! Just thought I'd leave a comment to give you & other viewers a heads up re: the reasons behind the newly designed front latches on the Toughsystem 2.0 vs. the orig TS's all-metal latches. Although the orig latches might appear more robust, they were actually one of the most common points of failure on the orig TS boxes. Not the metal clasps of latches themselves, but where they were actually attached to the lower section of the toolbox. The molded plastic retention mount that the metal clasp snaps into, securing the latches to the toolbox, would often break apart, rendering the toolbox virtually useless, since you could no longer carry the box around with tools in it. So although the new clasps might appear less robust, they are actually better designed, far more secure and also lighter. Having used Dewalt's TSTAK & orig. TS for yrs. now, I've gotta say, although the new setup is more expensive, Dewalt has definitely done a great job of improving on nearly every aspect of an already great system with the new TS 2.0! Everything from design & engineering, to flexibility, functionality, capacity & build quality, has all been significantly improved! All, while still maintaining near identical external dimensions and above all, backwards compatibility. I think they're engineers definitely deserve some serious recognition and/ or design awards for what they've achieved w the TS 2.0 system! Thanks again👍👍

Jason that is a corner guard piece, very strange. On the front of the tool box left side and right side below the latch, and off to the side a bit on the lower corner is a small empty cavern built into the corner of the case. The black plastic piece is likely there to add stress relief on the corner if you drop the tool box. It's better to have the cap fly off than to have the corner of your box crack, then you just plug the corner cap back on.

Well done. A few edits are a bit wonky but no big deal. Question, as an engineer, what are your thoughts on the many different standards Dewalt has for their systems? Pro, tough box, tough system, Tstak? Why not one set of fully interchangeable components?

I find their naming confusing sometimes. Like the Tough Case + boxes are not compatible with ToughSystem, so it does blur the lines. These 4 new boxes are backward compatible with all ToughSystem components and Toughsystem Worshop Racks. Plus the Tstaks I don't think are IP rated, so no gaskets, and they are smaller than Toughsystem, mostly a 17 x 12 footprint, whereas the Toughsystem is 21" wide. Tstaks are too narrow for me, but probably perfect for other guys. It's about the same size as Craftsman Versastack. I don't know where they are going with Toughsystem 2.o, but I think all they need is these 4 boxes, since the other components don't need to change.

The 2.0 system is not compatible with the power station for some reason. I had my site broken into (i never leave my 20 v tools anywhere) I had master cut resistant locks on my boxes. They didn't cut the locks, they cut the plastic where the lock goes. They were pissed and threw my hand tools all over the site

It Works with DEWALT ToughSystem storage solutions, and so therefore it should work with the DeWalt Toughsystem 2.0 no problem. It is not officially part of the family, but it will plug onto them. I wonder if 1/4" cables might fit through those holes, or if they would just cut the cables. Sucks having tools stolen.

Are these compatible with the garage racking system?

Yes it is on the flyer inside the 2.0 box

I like the overall design. What bothers me however is that the boxes of the 2.0 system don’t sit as flush as the 1.0 when they’re stacked…allowing them to rock back and forth on top of each other, so if you have a whole stack, the entire stack rocks back and forth. I’m wondering if they do that even more once they’re loaded with tools? Or does the weight of the tools compress them enough on top of each other that the rocking is prevented? Let me know…I’m still in the process of deciding between the Tough System 2.0 and the Milwaukee Pack Out.

I am sorry that I did not watch this through review before replacing my large tough system case. The top tool tray is too small. They should include two trays. They also removed the tool rack that was in the first cases. I may jump ship and go to another system for my tools.

The radio isn't complete compatible with the DS carrier. You can also weld the box to repair the broken box.

2.0 also doesn’t have metal bracket on back side of box to allow use of locking bar on tough system hand truck. Does this mean they will no longer offer that hand truck? hmmm

Boo. Then 2.0 is not totally backwards compatible with 1.0 Those metal tabs on the back of the 1.0 boxes are so that the boxes can be securely locked to the DS carrier (what Dewalt calls their dolly). I guess you can still put the 2.0 boxes on the carrier arms just no theft and fall security the rear brackets give.

Probably won't fit, because the Toughsystem 2.0s have a slightly different front to back distance than the Toughsystem 1.0

it's like looking at the packout.

The new 2.0 price is certainly approaching the $279 Milwaukee Packout. Home Depot wants $199 for the tower prcie now, and the Gen1 was $99 last Black Friday.
