Smart system from DeWalt. Damn heavy though... put my back out lifting one of those units. Doesn't like staircases so only really works in workshops or commercial jobs when you have access to the maintenance lift. 👍😉
Great, something else to add to my shop storage obsession 😊
Haha! I'd go and get hands on with one before buying, they are some unit
I heard the excitement in your voice as you opened the package. I am gradually upgrading to DeWalt cordless tools. Love them. As always, thank you for sharing 🌞
I think a great value for money tool brand is DeWalt. Hope you are well Ray
You'll need an assistant for hauling that toolbox around
Yeah I think that's the intention to be fair
Cool gent...your work on restoring old doors is superb.
Thanks 👍
I run the 2 and 3 drawer dewalt system and a high quality trolley that I use on site.
So I get out what I need and push the trolley about with the tools and fixing I need. Keeping it all together and mobile.
Then reload at the end of the day.
I love the setup I have. 10 mins either end of the job and I've got everything in and out! 👌
I wish DeWalt would release this in the United States. They always want to wait for Black Friday.
I think they’ve missed the mark here. For the workshop I’d much rather build some drawers out of ply. For on-site, it’s far too big and heavy. I single deep drawer for the toughsystem for larger tools would have been a better option I think.

Nice bit of kit 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think amazing for shop fitting etc. It's deffo not a house bashing toolbox!
@@BradshawJoinery you wouldn't want to be humping that around a building site
Another brilliant review Ollie and i think the set up you have at the moment works really well, overall I’m thinking that this new marketing strategy and pricing of plastic drawers is going a little bit far. 😮😊
I think the smaller drawers setup is superb tbh. But yeah tradesmen don't have unlimited money so needs to be affordable
Now that I'm retired, my mobile shop days are over...thankfully. All of my cordless tools I used in the field were Bosch Blue, which came in the Sortimo L-Boxx cases. I bought more L-Boxx cases for the rest of the tools, and it was a mobile kit only in the sense that I could load it in my car and take them with me. Moving the entire kit from the parking lot to the work site was never fun, but at least the L-Boxx cases didn't contribute much to the overall weight of the kit.
I know most of the standard Toughsystem boxes are made in either Israel or the US - anyone know where these new DXL boxes are being made?
Toghtsystem 2.0 is to hevy in general. I have few of them and lot of mark 1, and prefer those old. I know U like drawers, im a timber camperter, moste of my tools nead deep case. But this one is a monster. On market are cheaper and beter workshop carts wich U use in shop or buld to van. In my opinion is no best product.
Agreed. I think these would find a place in shop fitting/warehouse fitouts. Long distances between van and worksite on large flat areas. Its not a hose bashers toolbox thats for sure
I have quite a few of the 2.0 drawers. Lots of design faults but you put up with it at around £100 per unit. But at least its sort of portable unlike this new lot.
Stack more than 3 high even empty and the stack falls over. Do Dewalt see the 3d print tabs we all buy, make their own at cost and rectify it for us? No. Who on earth tested them and let that issue go?
Stack more than 2 high and with any sort of weight in them, the bottom box drawers drag or won’t open because the carcass compresses.
Try to clip them together, some will, some won’t.
No single large drawer option so you either use something else for the larger items (even a makita multitool wont fit) or do what you had to do with the Ryobi nailers and buy another set of stuff just to fit then have to find more drawer space for the different batteries and charger.
For the price its ok and we make do.
The new stuff, as you say, is no good to most as its workshop bound. No good for loading / unloading. And at the price it is, theres lots of high end stuff thats better.
I think with this stuff, drawers etc, they dont know their target market. They need a system in between the two thats better / stronger than the 2.0 but lighter / cheaper than this new stuff, use it in the workshop, take on site, back in the workshop etc.
But then I’m just a customer with money and a workshop plus job sites making do with the standard 2.0 so what do I know!
I think the tough system drawers are great. Wouldn't want to be any bigger, but they should come without wobble and centre handles. If they had one fixed side latch like these too then perfect. This DXL is for more permanent use, in a workshop, vehicle or maybe warehouse /shop fitting.
Nice video!
Where did you buy it from?
UK planet tools I think. They had a mega deal on. Free Allen key set and 1.7ah DeWalt battery with it
Between the cost & the weight, Dewalt may have shot themselves in the foot on this..
I think it's a system not aimed at the general tradesman, a bit more specialised. I can see a market for it but not a massive market
'Two man lift into a house' (1:17) - you are supposed to roll it in not lift it in... That is why it has wheels!
At some point you lift it though, in/out the van? Past the door threshold or steps. You aren't going to wheel anything from outside to inside in a finished house with nice floors.
But this is more a commercial item I think. Warehouses/stores/ shop fitting etc
@@BradshawJoinery Yes, you choose the best system for your working conditions. This is meant to be a combined tool transport and workbench solution. Probably better suited to the US, where houses are more often of wood construction. In the UK we still build houses the way the Romans did- brick on brick, wood rafters and tiles. No real change in 2000 years. Whereas in transport...
Where's it from, bet its heavy full of tools
I think itll be 4-50kg full of tools, so a 2 man lift because of the shape. But i think its designed that way,
looks good but heavy. i wouldnt like to be lugging that in and out of a van
Who needs a gym membership when you've got equipment like this to lift?
I see this earlier in the year at World of Concrete and was blown away by how good it was. But the whole system at over £1k it just seems too overpriced
Yeah it's a damm lot of money. I got a mega deal to be fair but it's still really pricey. But cheap if you needed such a load out I guess as there is nearly the equivalent of 6x tough systems in there plus wheels and top
🫡👊
Nearly £1k inc VAT for the full stack on a dolly - seems a lot of money for a pile of bendy plastic! Stick to the workshop - the less site work the better in my opinion!
Ok if you have an apprentice that's gym rat.
Yeah need one of them haha
DeWalt chasing Festool for over priced equipment?
It's interesting to see how different brands compete in the market.
@@BradshawJoinery Very true, and for video content it was an interesting watch. However, for the price of that two drawer box I'd expect a more 'bang' for my buck! I mean, it may be well made but it's definitely overkill for two very slim drawers; part of a system or not. And I wouldn't fancy carrying that around site not to mention the other parts required to make it a useable site piece.
Confession time - I do use Second hand Festool systainers for my Makita / DeWalt tools.
@@gillie-monger3394 Festool Systainers are the most expensive, least robust toolboxes with the poorest internal volume to size ratio. Not waterproof (3 point fixing) whereas De Walt TS is actually air tight... The centre lock system takes space from a critical area- preventing handles until latest version- which is still a poor handle compared to the competition. Drawers are v poor, compared to metal roller system (DW &Milw.) They are also too small.
As an engineer, I regard them as a complete design fail. Milw. has the best integrated design, DW second- and they offer two complete systems, to suit budget and use profile.
BTW, you do not carry a DXL - you wheel it. That is why it has wheels...
@@Tensquaremetreworkshop fyi - I got 10 boxes for £30. I can afford to take a chance on a couple breaking! And no, I wouldn't buy them new. The only Festool that I own is again, a second hand domino cutter, (£50), I bought from the same guy who sold me the boxes. He works only from his workshop and the boxes had been sitting in his lock up, empty for years.
Also, three DXL is a way over priced, over hyped rip-off.
@@gillie-monger3394 10 for £30? about what they are worth. At least he kept them in a lockup- many decorate their workshops with them. They even keep tools in them- making them very inaccessible (several steps to retrieve.) If you think this system is overpriced, just look at the Festool MFT.
