I'm glad someone has done an honest review of everyday use.

[@selectyourtools]

I appreciate that man!!

I’m a very proud aunt! I wish you much luck and success. Love you, aunt Sue.

[@selectyourtools]

Thank you! Love you all.

I bought this just after Christmas. I was in my Man Cave ( Home Depot) and I saw them bring in four of these systems. I was just going to buy two boxes the small and big one. But they gave me 30 dollars off Hell so I got all three. Yea those latches got my knickers. But I am very happy with it. I had to put in a water heater in a trailer. So I needed there drills so I could toenail some 2/4 for a stronger floor. The cordless is the only way to go. You could build a house with Dewalt cordless.

[@selectyourtools]

Glad you like yours too man! Definitely do a lot with Dewalt stuff. I have did several remodels using their platform!

[@evanholcomb9692]

Thanks for showing the pros and the cons! Good review!

[@selectyourtools]

Thanks man!

[@herbertbradford9579]

Great video I bought the deal on the two drills two for 99 dollars. I had to install a water heater in a modular home. Under the house toenailing extra 2/4’s was so easy with the cordless drill. Now I have the three boxes. And plan to get most of their tools even the radio

[@selectyourtools]

Awesome man! I bought the radio and stuff too. I have a decent selection of their tools. So far I have had great luck with all of them.

[@154electrician]

Your 100% right the clips are like mouse traps , terrifies me every time i need to open them

[@selectyourtools]

Hahaha... they have some pressure behind them.

[@andyprairiedog]

VERY HELPFUL video!!! I like that you pointed out the half-tray compartments are able to latch in on all the different sized boxes, not only the small tool box as I seen in most pictures of the product. How has the product held up since this video? Thank you again for this video.

[@selectyourtools]

Your welcome! The product is still going strong, as I use it all the time. It’s very handy, sometimes I just grab one box if I have a small job instead bringing the whole dolly. It’s very convenient kit and has did me well thus far! Thanks for the comment!!

[@scsc9311]

There is a DeWalt handtruck that allows you to remove the bottom boxes without touching the top boxes. Btw, did you know you can remove the handle on that bottom box, so you can fit it in a pick up truck bed?

[@selectyourtools]

Yeah, I looked those boxes up. I think I may have to get one.... I didn’t know that the handle came off! That would help! Thanks for the info man!

[@scsc9311]

@@selectyourtools Np. You have flip the little red tabs on the bottom. They make trays now for better organization in the medium and large boxes. Right now they have a shallow and a deep w/o lids. The ones with lids should be coming this year. Have you had a chance to check out the dolly/handtruck?

[@selectyourtools]

@@scsc9311 Yeah, i looked at the dolly. It’s nice and works with my boxes. I may end up getting it at some point. I also want to get those trays. I seen them too!

Wow. I just got the hart stack system from Walmart and the similarities these two have are so close. Good video. I just uploaded that video today.

Awesome man, I will try checking it out.

[@adamjustice6532]

Great video. Very useful content. Keep up the good work!!

[@selectyourtools]

Thanks man! I have some pretty exciting ideas for some more videos!

[@13deso]

I've bought this. Mine came with 2 middle boxes. It's made going to a job alot easier.

[@selectyourtools]

Yeah man! Made it a lot easier for me too!

[@atrainace114]

Cool video. I debated on the 1.0 and 2.0 for a long while. In the end I went 1.0 for the fact that the dewalt paower station doesnt hook to the 2.0. The DS carrier is awesome for getting the tools out of the bottom box without unloading all the other boxes. The 2.0 boxes work with the DS carrier but they dont have the metal locking tabs on the back to lock the boxes to the cart.

[@selectyourtools]

Great info man! Thanks for the comment!!

[@DoubleD72]

@@selectyourtools Yes I was going to also mention the DS Carrier. plus the Garage Rack and or Van Trailer Rack. I don't even bother with the lower grade large box with built in wheels. that is designed for people who don't have a lot. Slide my cases off the racks built in my trailer right on to the Carrier and on to the job. Plus being an American and all I at least stick with the Company they is still American at least.

[@selectyourtools]

@@DoubleD72 Yeah, having a garage rack would be great. I need to look into that. Thanks man!

[@jrod5113]

Awesome video I also bought the 2.0 tough system. I was looking at Milwaukee but when I saw dewalt system and price I changed my mind real quick Haha

[@selectyourtools]

Thanks man! Yeah, the Milwaukee is definitely nice, but the Dewalt does what I need at a lower cost!

[@erichensley6147]

Great review...look forward to future videos

[@selectyourtools]

Thanks man!

[@keithmcmurray8410]

Great review, Hope to see more videos soon!

[@selectyourtools]

Thanks man!

[@loucifer323]

They make a carrier that you can slide the boxes in seperate and you can pull the boxes out without touching the other boxes

[@selectyourtools]

I seen that. I think it will work with the boxes I have too. I may end up buying that dolly to be able to do that. Thanks for the feedback man!l

[@christophercrawford2736]

I just saw the DS carrier in person for the first time last week at a ganahl lumber. Made me want it lol

[@davidcampbell2845]

Great video, thanks. At around 5:30 you describe the latch by the handle, allowing the use of half sized boxes - do you know what kind of boxes - ToughSystem 2.0 or ToughCase+ ?

[@selectyourtools]

[@tonystark19631]

Nice review, I'm thinking about swapping my mechanics tools to this after movers ruined my metal tool chest

[@selectyourtools]

I think you get some foam insert to help organize some of your tools. I’m still using the boxes and they are convenient and holding up great! Thanks for the comment man!

[@tbled52]

It looks like you can get trays for the large box. 2 medium and 2 shallow. I'm thinking that would be good for smalls.

[@selectyourtools]

@@tbled52 Yeah, i agree!

[@EstonianBerserker]

Is the bottom box detachable from the dolly?

[@selectyourtools]

The bottom box is made to the dolly with the wheels attached to the box.

[@MrDINODINO74]

The minuses are more then positive ones . 1 .The biggest is the short handler on the trolley box. Is Not safe to go down on the stairs. 2. Boll berings are missing and the wheels are tilted on the heavy load . 3. The box has to be level and pump to be close without pushing the lid . 4. The trolley box can leek if you open it in the rain because the lid vertical position is directly in to the box . 5 . The yellow lattice don't allow to put a bord on top of the boxes because they are sticking out. 6. The boxes are made from a thinner plastic and are double sleeve .

[@selectyourtools]

Thanks for sharing the great additional information! Definitely has some cons. However, so far it’s did pretty good for me so far. Thanks!

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

[@MrDINODINO74]

@@kickyourfaceandlaugh607 ... you could be Zeus , or his son Hercules, but if you don't have the levitation on your side, you will end up like the boys from your description, because the real man doesn't go for a ride with those boxes empty , they usually have the heavy tools in. 🙂 .

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

@@MrDINODINO74 dude you’re probably just some diy’er or stay at home dad. I’m a carpenter and my tough system has been in the sun sitting and used as saw horses and banged up in the van. So please actually use the product instead of watching diy’ers do reviews.

[@gokats94]

Very informative review!

[@selectyourtools]

I appreciate that! Glad you liked it!!

[@loucifer323]

Pros is it's a American company, the bigger boxes front latches are easier than the small box, and putting the boxes together are easier than the packout and the red packout looks kinda feminine, they have black boxes which look way better

[@selectyourtools]

Yeah man! I agree. I carry Dewalt!

[@tedecker3792]

They could be pink for all I care, as long as they work well and are priced right.

[@Elkslaya1]

If you turn the boxes around then there is no need to lower the handle

[@selectyourtools]

I didn’t really think of that. I will give it a try! Thanks for the info!

[@chineda1]

You can move the middle compartment to the top so you don't have to take off the top.

[@selectyourtools]

Yeah, a man could.

[@herbertbradford9579]

Do a video on their radio

You can't open all the way on Packout either when the handle is fully extended. Really silly.

[@selectyourtools]

Yeah. Oversight I guess?

[@Swordfish-q8l]

How is it silly

[@darkJohnSmith]

Lol, you think those latches are tight, try using the side clips on the first gen boxes

[@selectyourtools]

I haven’t tried them, but I say they are pretty snug! Lol

Anyone from the Houston or South Texas area own this or the Packout? I have the packout system and I have an issue with condensation

I’ve not had any issues with condensation with mine. I will definitely start keeping an eye out for it though.

[@HardHeadMilitary]

@@selectyourtools im not sure of your location, but I am in the Houston area, and the humidity can be insane. I own the packout kit (3 boxes). I had my tools locked away in the box outside, I opened it up after a 3 day weekend, and my tools were laying in about 1.5” of water T

@@HardHeadMilitary Dang man! I’m in V.A. It gets humid some. I say not as bad in Texas.

[@kleepo7733]

Man the fact that you got to take two seconds to lower the handle before you can open the second box is such a travesty.. 😂😂😂

[@selectyourtools]

Hahaha.. yeah, it doesn’t bother me. Just saying

[@amiscauich]

The latches are horrible. Home Depot had a deal on these wanted to purchase but the latch just slaps your fingers with a force like a mouse trap. So I moved on.

Lol, I know man!! It took a minute to get use to them! They close up tight though!
