5.0 out of 5 stars Good stand-alone home tool box

I was looking for a hard case, sturdy enough to be used as a stool in a pinch, so all cloth cases and bags were out. And I was looking for something I could organize screws and similar small items in. Having previously used tool boxes with built in subdivided trays in the lid, that was my first choice, though drawers were another option. I did, however, need a fair sized open bin to keep my larger tools, and most drawer units did not have that option, or were in my opinion too big.I have used Dewalt power tools, and have loved them, but have not been impressed with the construction of their small tool storage systems, so I was a little concerned as to how this box would turn out, rather than biased towards it. I saw other Dewalt boxes in the same line at Home Depot, and was even more concerned, as some seemed well built while others felt cheap and fragile. I bought this box anyways, as it was the closest to what I needed, and was little more expensive than the cheapest, weakest boxes I could find in store.This box, overall feels sturdy. I would not worry about breaking it using it as a stool, though the lid for the subdivided top section is thin enough to noticeably flex; compared to most tool boxes with subdivide tops, with their brittle clear plastic lids, the flex is much preferred. The metal latches for the main bin close securely, and I expect they will last as long as the box itself. The aforementioned flexible lid to the subdivided top does not latch in a convincing manner: It has stayed closed so far, but I expect it will be the first thing to go. As I am no longer working construction, I doubt it will ever go, but if I used the box on a daily basis, I wouldn't expect that top lid to last more than a year, maybe not even half a year, before the latches wear and no longer stay closed. The hinge to the main bin extends almost the length of the case, just an inch short on either end, and has a metal, presumably stainless steel, pin. The subdivided top has 4 plastic nubs acting as hinges.This tool box can either be carried by a long metal handle, as shown in the pictures, or by a small plastic handle like a briefcase, which is not shown in any of the pictures. The long metal handle appears to be aluminum, and I thus expect it to tarnish over time, resulting in dark gray aluminum oxide marks on anything it touches. It is corrugated, resulting in added strength as well as a functional grip. The smaller plastic handle has a mildly rubberized coating; I do not like rubberized coatings as they quickly get dirty and are much harder to clean than smooth plastic, but this one is not sticky enough to concern me. While I prefer to carry it like a briefcase, I was surprised by how unobtrusive the box felt while carrying it by the long handle; it took little effort to ensure I did not bang the tool box against my knees as I carried it. Both handles are very sturdy, and lock reassuringly into open or flat configurations. I would expect both to last as long as the box even if I were using it on a daily basis. The tool box also balances on end, like a briefcase.Inside, the main bin is 16"x11"x4" deep, with another 1" of clearance in the lid. The small bins built into the top are another 1 5/8" deep, with negligible clearance in the lid. I can fit my socket set, screw drivers, hammer, and measuring tape in the main bin just fine, though I cannot also fit my power drill. I am not as pleased with the subdivided top: the compartments are typically too big or too small. There are four small bins, in which I can put driver tips or wire nuts or whatever itsy bitsy thing I want, but they are only just too small to fit a normal sized measuring tape (considering how hard it is to find a normal instead of "fat" measuring tape these days, or that Dewalt makes only a fat version, this is not surprising), nor are they big enough to fit other common small tools, like allen wrenches, or even 2" screws in any useful quantity. There is one large bin, but at 5 3/8"x6 3/8", it is far too large for even a fat measuring tape, while being only just too small for Dewalt's sets of drill bits or driver tips. There are two more long bins, which would conveniently hold loose drill bits, or sawzaw blades; I have a Stanley utility knife in one, and while it is nearly the perfect length, it is wide enough to fit two or possibly even three such utility knives. This does make it easy to extract your tools, but it also feels like a lot of wasted space, and considering the namesake long handle is recessed into the lid, subdivided space is at a premium. I can fit all my tools and accessories in the tool box; just not in as organized a fashion as I would have liked.Overall, this is a quality built tool box. If you are looking for a reasonably large main bin with a subdivided section, this will probably fill your need. The box is sturdy except for the lid on the subdivided top, but even that is sturdy enough for home use. If I were to change anything in a new model, it would be to ditch the long handle and use the freed up space to add more and better thought out subdivisions. I have now considered buying the two drawer tool box from this same set, but as I don't at present have a need, I haven't yet. I would buy this box again for family of friends.While searching,I came across one other box that almost won me over, a Husky cantilever box/organizer. It was just as sturdy when closed, except that the clear plastic lid for its subdivisions was rather brittle. I would probably have bought that one instead had it not been for that brittle top and my not liking cantilever tool boxes. If you are looking for the same things I was, this may be a good option for you as well.

Really like this tool box. It does seem a bit flimsy. Don’t drop it. Wonder how much weight it will hold

I bought three of these to store my power tools in. I wanted a cohesive system that would accommodate all my various cordless and corded tools, and these boxes fit the bill perfectly. In the first box I put my 3/8" 18v cordless drill - the box held the drill & battery, charger, extra battery, and both the DeWalt Hardcase drill bit storage case and my DeWalt Hardcase storage box. The cubbies in lid let me sort my extra bits, impact drivers and bits, masonry bits, holesaws and various other driver bits. In the second box I put my 18v cordless scroll saw. The case also held my third battery and second charger as well as the saw guide set. The lid holds my blades and the spare set screw for the guide set. And the last box holds my corded angle grinder, 18v cordless drop light, and my corded oscillating tool. I was able to fit the sanding discs, pads and backer plate in the top storage section, along with my spare oscillating blades and assorted handles and allen wrenches.The plastic is very sturdy. I was worried that these would be cheap and flimsy, but no, they are well made and of a reasonably tough resin for DIY use. I would be cautious banging them around in the back of a truck for extended periods and/or under cold weather conditions. The cases seal nice and tight, though I understand they are not weatherproof. All the same, they should keep your tools dry under mild weather conditions, like light rain or a short run through a downpour. I haven't had any trouble with the weight of the loaded lid tipping the box over like some people have mentioned, but then again, I don't usually let the box sit completely empty.The boxes do not lock together like the Bosch LBoxx series, (which I did seriously buying instead of these), but they do have indents and feet that "lock" together when you stack them, which I think is better anyway, because it keeps the stacked boxes stable without having to manually unlock them to separate them, or end up lifting too many boxes all at once. The boxes have two handles, on on the front and a long aluminum one on the top. There's even a little clear plate where you can list the contents of the box on the front - a nice touch. There is only one caveat about the box that bugs me: the long handle on the top does not swing fully into the upright position without a little extra tug to snap it into place. I don't understand why DeWalt did this. Once the handle is snapped in position, it will stay that way until you unsnap it and let it drop - but it is annoying that when I pick it up by the top handle the box hangs at a slight angle until I snap the handle. Other than that minor quibble, I do recommend these boxes for storage of your power tools.

I just ordered this November '24 and mine was slightly different and in a way I prefer. the long handle is no longer full width and this box now supports stacking/locking on top.It may not be not a huge deal for some, but I purchased a bunch of these shallower sized TStak boxes and definitely prefer the option of which to put on top. If you do, you can't access the the top storage, but for me it's more about securing them together for storage.You may lose some top storage space in the lid, which some may prefer over this stacking ability, but it doesn't seem to be too drastic.

Gift - APPRECIATED BY RECIPIENT

Fuerte, suficiente espacio y funcional

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Las cajas de DeWalt no son tan populares como las Festool, Makita o Milwaukee, y creo que injustamente. Realmente me sorprendió la caja de DeWalt porque su plástico se siente fuerte y robusto, prácticamente nada qué envidiar a las de su competencia, que honestamente también son de buena calidad.Sus broches se ajustan con gran facilidad y al ser de metal son más resistentes que los broches de Makita que son de plástico (y que además se sueltan).Su agarradera es muy cómoda y mucho más resistente que las de Bosch, Festool y Makita, aunque no supera el que incluye el Packout de Milwaukee.El espacio de almacenamiento está bien diseñado, tanto en lo largo, ancho como en lo profundo. Sin problema me cupo un esmeril inalámbrico con su batería y cargador, considerando que además en la parte de arriba trae un organizador, el cual considero que está diseñado para pijas, taquetes, tuercas, etc., por su espacio cuadriculado. Quizá hubiera sido mejor que el organizador tuviera los separadores removibles y así podría guardar cosas más largas como mis electrodos, marcadores y punzones.Muchos se casan con la idea de que si tu herramienta es DeWalt entonces debes comprar una caja DeWalt o si tu taladro es Bosch compres la caja Bosch... como si fuera sacrilegio guardar tu atornillador Milwaukee en una caja de otra marca.Desde luego, se ve mejor cada herramienta con su respectiva caja, pero no sólo la vista importa sino también lo funcional. En este sentido, considero que si lo que buscas es tener varias cajas y así formar un sistema de almacenamiento, entonces escojas la marca de tus cajas con independencia de la marca de tus herramientas, ya que ahora las cajas son apilables y cabe decir que sólo son compatibles si son de la misma marca. Evidentemente no podrás apilar una caja DeWalt sobre una Makita y entonces de nada te sirve tener una caja de cada marca si no vas a poder apilarlas y transportarlas todas juntas.Asimismo, hay que considerar que las cajas de almacenamiento muchas veces no son maquiladas por la empresa que fabrica las herramientas. Por ejemplo, está el caso de Makita y Festool que sus cajas son compatibles entre sí a pesar de ser "diferentes" marcas. Lo que sucede es que un tercero fabrica las cajas y puede hacerlo para distintas marcas, y en este caso la empresa Tanos al fabricar cajas para Makita y Festool obviamente las hace compatibles entre sí.Así que mi recomendación es que consideres bien qué sistema de almacenamiento te gusta más y a partir de ahí compres las cajas que sean compatibles entre sí. Por lo pronto, esta caja DeWalt cumple con las expectativas y un sistema de organización con cajas de esta marca no te va a defraudar. Pero si ya comenzaste tu almacenamiento con otra marca, quizá sea más funcional que continúes con esa misma.
