DeWalt Tough System 2.0 Review & Opinion After 9 Months of Use.

[@BradMyers]

Thanks for the good review. I'm going to order the drawer option, that is something that I'm missing and will use. I ordered a couple of the Tough System 2.0 6-compartment small part organizers, which was something else my current setup was lacking.

[@andyprairiedog]

I also am now in the same frying pan. I bought the wheeled 2.0 tool box, XL box and 2 half (clear-top) bin organizers as opposed to the set of the wheeled, medium box and small box. I wanted maximum storage from the boxes and small organizers. The durability is there for what I wanted...but I have to unstack them to get to the bottom items. I was already planning to unstack them when putting them in back of the truck due to it being heavy and unsafe. At the worksite, I'm creating a large footprint as you stated. I'm with you, with what I know now...I would have went with the dolly looking set up. Thanks for your video. Very helpful.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Thanks so much for watching, it's really nice to hear that this actually helps someone! The money is painful, but it's worth it. Put the other ones up for sale, that got me some of the cash back anyway.

[@BobLobLawsLawBlog]

It's July, been trying to make up my mind since Jan which to buy. 2 packout drawers was ¾" too tall for my service body, so tough system it is. This was a much better carrier video than others. Thank you.

Good review! the reason the latches on the drawers are different is because that’s from the tough system 1.0

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for watching!

[@valleyking705]

@@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop it's also because the drawer system will extend past its fulcrum point with weight in it. so the latch helps keep it secure.

DeWALT with the DS carrier is far superior than any other system. Who wants to remove every box to get to the bottom box

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Exactly!

[@estellamo]

Great review. I worked for Dewalt as a Tool Technician for 20 yrs so I am sorta a fan. I have their original mobile tool carrier that all three compartments slide open. I set it up for working on cars and home but it is limited. I have been looking for something else especially if it has drawers. Definitely don't want to have to unstack and your review helped me decide to get the dolly system of Dewalt. Drawers,drawers is the way to go especially for wrenches,screwdrivers,etc. Thanks,great video.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

@estellamo So glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

[@johnmontague69]

Beforehand buying the Dewalt tough system 2.0 I did a lot of researching. The drawers do come with system 1 & system 2.0 fastener clips. They do both look identical except for the side clips. So, any online shopping thats selling the drawers needs to be contacted to make sure you get the drawers with the 2.0 clips or else they'll send you the cheaper clip version system 1. There are 2 DS carriers & the differences are the wheel colour gray or black, I got the black wheels which look more robust with the measurements on the side bars to make sure the singing arms are at the same height. the other wheels are gray & some of them do not have the measurements for the swing Arms. I'm unsure why this is. Could be a manufacturers choice. The tough system tote has not got the 2.0 clips but I've been told you can change the clips to 2.0! Not did that yet but I'll try it. Both systems 1 & 2.0 are compatible but 2.0 is far more robust & boxes are larger. There are clear lid organisers with small bins for your nails that fit into the dewalt nail belt pockets, just take the whole bin shove it into one of your dewalt nail belt pockets and off you go. The nail belts come with their own yellow plastic bins similar to the clear lid organiser bins, It all depends on the style of the dewalt nail belt you have that makes it all work. The nail belt pockets are massive and can be detached sat to the side or hung up so you can can connect different styles of pockets with different bins or ones with different tools. Some of the nail belt pockets come with carrying handles so you can set them up with gear and sit them to the side ready for when you want to grab them and attach them to your nail belt. It's the best & fattest system I've ever used, no more hunting around for a certain size of nail, its already in the bin & ready to be swapped out + you have the impact driver with your nailgun hanging on the belt with your othe tools + spare batteries clipped to it You do not want to climb back down to get to your van for stuff, no need, its all with you and your hands are free to climb or carry different loaded pockets. The harness with the 5 inch padded belt & all the different accessories that attach to the system is awesome for working in remote parts far from your van. The tough system 2.0 & the full harness nailbelt system is costly but its a time saver & in the long run actually saves you money & time when your set up to do particular jobs correctly. It'll save you hours of frustrated walks back to you van for stuff cause everything will be kept in your tough system & nail belt system. Use the Ds carrier to hang your nail pouches til you get to the job. Do a check list & you'll be good 👍 Sandwiches hot water flask biscuits, tools, fixings, batteries, radio, chargers, generator, ppe, off you go.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Bought the DS carrier instead of the wheeled box set a bit over a month ago. Then suddenly had to move out of my apartment and having that right at hand was a huge lifesaver.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

I bet it was! Makes a great moving dolly. Thanks for watching!

[@SmashCrunch]

It doesn't look too difficult to drill some holes and install hooks that latch into the DS carrier on the back of the 2.0 boxes. You could even take the hook off the 1.0 boxes. Add a gasket for waterproofing and it seems like it would work to me.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

While I certainly agree that it could be done, seems like DeWalt should be paying us for the R&D. :)

[@kwizmon]

But surely we should be beyond the point where we're still doing our own hacks. Especially at this price point.

[@raven_glass]

The drawers are from the Toughsystem 1 which has the latch on the back. The other cases are from the Toughsystem 2 in which they eliminated the rear latch. There are similar rolling cases from the system 1 that also have the rear latch, but they are being phased out. Yet to see if DW comes out with a TS2 drawer case.

[@whateyatalkinabout4972]

They’ve released the 2.0 drawers in Australia. Only the 2 drawers atm, 3 drawers wouldn’t be far behind though. Seems like a good build but will be getting it in a few weeks to test out. They have a lot to live up to if they hope to Compare to the packout boxes

[@Bartman1360]

Thank you for this review, this is exactly what I was looking for! I bought the exact same beginning setup and recently bought the 3-drawer case. I was debating on getting the cart carrier and another drawer, and you just helped me make my decision! I’m going with the cart carrier, two drawers, and small case. Thank you!

[@maverickciao]

I agree with your assessment on Dewalt. I pretty much use all brands: Mil, Del, Rig. I started with Rig large tool boxes, then I added the Mil setup ($1,000). I do like Delwalt tool boxes, but there are a few annoying designs that I don’t like. Stuff like the one you mentioned about the lid not up. I bought a Dewalt large tote with wheel 1 month ago. I do like it as stand alone, but I want to add the Dewalt drawer. I prefer the compact size over the Mil drawer, which I think it is a bit heavy. But for functionality, I do the like Mil innovation more. Even simple stuff like lid staying up was well though. Right Mil Packout is really hard to beat.

[@rinyneefs4619]

Agree with you, Milwalkee is very heavy from itself !

[@yinglouie9663]

I started with the drawers from both Milwaukee and DeWalt. I like DeWalt for it's more narrow form factor and rubber seal around the drawers. Milwaukee is wider and no seal around the drawers. I do know Milwaukee has a dolly as well but l haven't seen it yet. So far most of my pack out is Milwaukee.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

It's a never ending debate I think. I'm now running all Milwaukee myself, but DeWalt has some cool new stuff coming out. Thanks for watching!

Good review probably the most in depth one I've seen of this system. I bought the tool box and probably guna get the trolley and add to it all the time. Im not a tradesman but I work a lot on my bikes withots of specialist tools including general DIY. Since moving property to smaller place I had to get rid of my super large tool trolley I like how I can quickly assemble it and dissemble it to. Ive found the quality pretty good with the tool box alone for some pretty heavy tools in there and no issues with the weight on the handles 👍.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Thanks for watching! I hope this system works out for you, they certainly are durable.

[@americanguns6732]

The system 1 has the latches on the rear to lock into the DS carrier. The system 2 boxes don’t. This applies to all system 1 & 2 boxes. I have no idea why DeWalt left these latches off of system 2. Hope this helps if it’s not too late. Lol. God bless!

[@loucifer4205]

What I want Dewalt to make is rolling drawer system with a big drawer to hold large tools a medium size drawer than a large two drawer medium sized 2 drawer and a large 3 drawer and medium 3 drawer and small 3 drawer, if they come out with that the regular boxes will stay home and the drawer system comes for the ride

It’s be great if they made the bottom cart on the original system and big drawer instead. Then you can always use it regardless of what’s stacked on top. All the other bins on tops I find I can still flip open enough to get stuff out if the cart handle is dropped down.

I have the old Rigid system. They are just more simple and easy to stack and move. Those Dewalts seem like the latch will break . The drawers are a game changer on not having to unstack in customers home.

I almost got the Ridgid myself. We're all after the same thing, good storage at a "reasonable" price. Ridgid is probably the only fair price in the game. If they do drawers, could be big. However with HD so invested in selling Milwaukee now, I don't think that's likely. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching! And I've made the switch to Milwaukee. Painful for the wallet for sure, but I'm happy and not looking back.

[@FMunixxx]

How is 2.0 not backward compatible with 1.0?

[@S0RELOSER]

2.0 latches are the newer version. The older stuff has the older latches. I love my DS Carrier but that metal is no good on some job sites. Can easily scratch finished floors. So the DS450 is an advantage there. DS450 can also be easily fit in the extra cab of a truck (if the rear seat is folded up). Whereas the DS Carrier is not as versatile in regards to mobility fitment.

[@costinmarina]

You say that Milwakee has a similar setup as the DS carrier? As in, if I want the bottom case, I don't need to unstack all boxes, I just take the bottom one out from the holding system?

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

@costinmarina not like the ds carrier no. The base roller box opens like a large drawer from the front. Then you can stack drawer units on top

[@costinmarina]

@@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop So there is the problem with Milwakee and all other systems (different from Dewalt one). I'm in the process of setting up a van as a mobile workshop, but if necesity arise, to be converted quickly back in a hauling van. So, no bolt on shelves inside, just something that cam be easly taken out. And this DS system checks all boxes. Thanks for the video and the quick reply, man!

[@maxmorter503]

I assume the drawers have that to hold for more stability when open. Do the other add on boxes have it

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Some boxes do, some don't. I'm told it's leftovers or add-on parts based on the age/generation of the tough system.

I have the originals, I’m also a packout guy too, the packout does not fit in my utility service truck on the sides the dewalt fits fine, I left a door open and made a left turn coming out of the freeway causing boxes to fly out at 40mpH just a few scratches all good.

[@pouetance]

I think a lighter system like the Festool systainers or Dewalt tstak/versastack boxes are a better fit for finish work. Packout/tough system boxes are just too big and heavy in my opinion. Festool probably have the best system with their sysport/mobile workshop but it's crazy expensive. I wish Dewalt would come up with the same system.

[@ChestnutRidgeWorkshop]

Fully agree. The festool/tanos style boxes are awesome, just as you said not cheap! I have a few for individual tools. Maybe someday there will be an easy affordable option.

I’ve studied these systems and just got back from local Home Depot store from purchasing my first Toughsytem 2.0. Small for my Dewalt palm router kit. I did not see ANY reason to go with the Milwaukee over the Dewalt system. Also Milwaukee was twice as expensive for the same quality construction. Furthermore, your video is the first time I saw the drawers and I WANT ONE NOW! They are ingenious and very practical. Unfortunately Depot is completely out of stock. I agree the latches are too strong and too loud. you need hearing protection when you close them. Finally regarding your big bottom box - keep it. Kaizen sells a snug fitting insert for it. You can use it to STORE a lot of your taller tools at home (or your future tools) upright in it - with help from the Kaizen hard foam insert which are only 15 each and are a good looking black and yellow.
