Size - DeWalt tool boxes come in a range of sizes, from small boxes that are suitable for storing a few hand tools to large chests that can hold a wide variety of tools. Consider the size of your tool collection and the amount of storage space you have available to determine the right size of tool box for your needs. Price - DeWalt tool boxes are available at a range of price points. Determine your budget and look for a tool box that meets your needs at a price you can afford. On top of all of that, the ToughSystem boxes are dust tight and water jet resistant, rated at IP65. Storage capacity - Consider the number and size of the tools you need to store, as well as any other items such as fasteners or accessories. Look for a tool box with sufficient storage space and features such as compartments, trays, and dividers to help organize your tools.

The handles have been stress tested via a process whereby the box is lifted over 2000 times while filled with a 50lb load. DeWalt report no failures. Similarly, the hinges have been stress tested over 1000 times with no reported failures. Earlier this year Toolstop were invited to spend two days at a top secret location on the Slough Trading Estate. Our objective was to shoot as much video content featuring the, at that time unreleased, brand new XR power tools that DeWalt was just about to bring onto the market. Our guide for the two days repeatedly made a big deal of the “tough outside, intelligent inside” slogan that the DeWalt marketing team had dreamed up for their new, admittedly smart and tough, cordless tools.

Then we have the larger DS300. Again, it’s got the tough exterior, the IP65 rated casing with the rubber seal, with dimensions of 308mm x 336mm x 550mm, providing you with 35 litres of internal space. It can handle loads of up to 60kgs and comes with a removable tote tray to hold your accessories. Could it be that there’s something special about DeWalt’s new offering to the world of….tool boxes? If you need a smaller tool box, DeWalt Tstak II modular organizer (DWST1-70703) is a storage unit of dimensions 440x332x176 mm (13,5 L) useful to safely store your power tools. It is equipped with a pre-cut foam, lateral hinges and bi-component handle. As an alternative, De Walt Tstak II modular organizer (DWST1-70705) is a smaller storage unit (9.5L) with six removable cups for small parts. On the outside, though, DeWalt has also included a fair dose of intelligence to go along with the toughness. And the metal hinges and latches have been sprayed for 24 hours straight with a water/salt solution with no reported corrosion or visual change.

But it seems that the design team behind these new power tools had a little bit of creative juice left over. And from that they’ve produced a toolbox system that could, in all honesty, adopt the same tagline as the tools they’ve been made to protect; tough outside, intelligent inside. First off, the little brother of the bunch, the DS150. Measuring in at 158mm x 336mm x 550mm, it’s designed with all of the tough intelligence outlined above, but is more of an organiser box rather than a tool box, although you can strip out the supplied inserts and carry your tools in it should you wish.
