DeWalt ToughSystem Storage Tool Review

If you’re a tool and organization dweeb like me, take a serious look at the DeWalt ToughSystem Storage.

It’s smart, rugged and versatile. I learned a lot doing this review. Why?

Because I don’t like it.

So why review it? Because Craig, one of my colleagues from Doyle Remodeling and volunteer for overnight slogs on Food Network TV, builds with MyFixitUpLife and he loves it. I could write a mindless feature list, but you can read that elsewhere. You’re here for the real-deal experience.

The design is brilliant, the DeWalt ToughSystem storage wooed me. ‘Like’ has nothing to do with it. Toolboxes integrated with a stout hand-truck is genius. The boxes are work-life tough with gasketed lids for outdoors and built to take a beating. They have slide-onto arms that fold out from the hand truck. They lock onto the arms and you can stack three boxes that store a decent amount of stuff.

In one box, I have most of my drywall supplies. In another, I have my trim routers and bits with room to spare. And in the third box, I have items I rarely use, at least until I need them, like a cordless drill and oscillating tool.The toolboxes lock on and remove easily. There is awesomeness there. There’s even a mechanism that locks all the boxes to the hand truck, making them more undesirable to steal. The hand truck itself is pretty cool. I always need one. Get crazy with bags of thin set or concrete and you’ll fold the stamped steel plate. It’s pretty great.
