Tidy things up in the tool section of the garage.
I purchased this model for the top of my stacker, I'll include some pictures of it's size and internals. I got this one for my OSC tool and corded drill, I like the upper compartments for holding all of the drill bits and screw bit tips. It feels pretty tight and secure, not sure I'd trust it to fall from the back of my truck...but just tipping over or the occasional item falling on it may be okay. I look forward to it's being put to use.

they made great sense for use with my equipment
I just got my new TSTAK cases (with the pick apart foam) and spent the evening fitting them to my own 'tools'. While I am a woodworker and DIYer, I didn't get these for any of my power tools. I'm also a hobby photographer and actually bought these cases as a storage and transport system for my cameras and equipment. I originally wanted the Pelican 1510 (as I know it's reputation in the photography world)case to store and transport my cameras and accessories, and for more organized storage, at home. But, with the foam, ONE case was $151.00. And, that was the lowest price I could find. Upon further research, I found This system from Dewalt. With 6 different cases to choose from and the ability to purchase pre-formed, pickable foam for inside, they made great sense for use with my equipment. AND they are stackable! Here are the two cases I bought with most of my equipment now inside. I still have more to go through, and may need one more case, along with at least one more set of foam. But, here is what I liked... each of the boxes ranged in price from $14.99 to $29.99 each. And, the foam inserts are only $9.99 each. Far more affordable for me! So... the TWO cases I have here cost $55.00, as opposed to $300+ if I had bought the Pelican. I can afford to get a 3rd box, and more foam, and STILL be well under the price of one Pelican box! I've posted pics of boxes open, and stacked (and, fastened together). My favorite one is the 'long handle' box: it has another section on top for all my batteries and chargers. (So, I can, hopefully, stop misplacing them) I'll post an update at a later time once I've had a chance to really put these to use.

Durable, versatile, and so very handy!
I love this toolbox! From the compartments in the lid, to the heavy duty tray, to the deep well in the bottom, this thing has plenty of storage! I think DeWalt has elevated the toolbox to an artform with the TSTAK system. I've always had a problem maintaining multiple toolboxes for wood and metal, electrical, and computer repairs. I end up with duplicate tools all over the place--screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, wrenches, box cutters--you name it, With this single toolbox I consolidated all of my tools from my "wood and metal" toolbox and my "electrical" toolbox into one, and I eliminated all my duplicate tools (screwdrivers, pliers, crescent wrenches) and lightened the overall load. This unit has a storage area in the lid, which is perfect--and I mean perfect--for storing wire nuts, electrical tape, lineman's pliers and wire strippers. If you have a small multimeter you may be able to fit it in the large rectangular compartment in the center. The removable tray is large, sturdy, and deep. There's a bin under the tray handle that is the perfect size for storing drill bits and boring bits. The tray has plenty of room for screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, and other commonly needed tools, and there are small bins beside each end of the handle for placing rolls of tape, or replacement blades for a box cutter. The deep well can hold hammers, pipe wrenches, and other heavier tools that do not fit well into the tray, and even with the tray in place there's still much room in the bottom of this toolbox for your larger items. After consolidating my tools into this, the total weight of my tools is 5-6 pounds lighter, simply by eliminating duplicate tools. I just received the TSTAK Deep Drawer, which I'll use to store my computer components and specialty tools that I use for wiring networks and repairing PCs. It snapped right on to the bottom of this, and so far seems every bit as well built as the deep toolbox: ball bearing sliders on the drawer, strong, deep plastic parts bins, locking drawer handle. DeWalt also sells a TSTAK parts organizer that fits onto this. I already have a few Fat Max parts bins by Stanley that work beautifully, and even have the same black and yellow color scheme, but that might be a perfect complement to attach to the Deep Drawer, if you need to carry a few tools and a variety of parts. Thank you, DeWalt, for innovating the age-old toolbox and making it into something far more useful than ever before. You've done to toolboxes here what Dyson has done to vacuum cleaners!

The whole system works great for me - and here's a tip
I see people concerned about sturdiness and it's possible that for contractor scale requirements the Tough system would be the better choice for heavy duty use. But I'm using it for remote controlled helicopters and the attendant parts and support equipment and it's a great fit for that. Not that many heavy tools, I guess. I'm using all the different components but the single drawer unit is great for transport and then for easy field use w/o unstacking the components. And I discovered that the Stanley Tools and Consumer Storage STST14028 MultiLevel Organizer and Sortmaster Junior fit perfectly into the DEWALT DWST17820 TSTAK Mobile Storage Deep Box On Wheels. You can stack 2 MultiLevel Organizers or 4 Juniors and have more room at the top for a plywood lift out w/ foam for...battery chargers, in my case, but anything. And keep everything super organized but also easily accessible.

This is something you think you don't need but do!
This is a great organizer and is something that I didn't think I needed but on a whim decided to pull the trigger and buy it to go along with my other TStak pieces. I filled with nails and screws and leave it in my truck. Lo an behold I had a tenant contact me a few days later saying a fence needed repair. I was able to swing by and take care of the problem without having to go home and pick up fasteners. For me, this is a huge time saver and very functional. Its an appropriate size and has lots of varying size bins that is very useful for fasteners or electrical components. The clear lid makes it easy to see whats inside or if you need refills of anything without having to open it. And the lid, seals the individual bins so picking the organizer up by the handle doesn't mix up everything inside. Overall great addition to the TStak family.

Good Toolbox
I have both the DWST17806 (Deep Toolbox) and the DST17807 (Flat Top) tool boxes. I originally looked at the Makita tool boxes (I have the 197213-3 X-Large) but the sizes didn't fit my needs and the prices were significantly higher. I bought the Deep Toolbox to hold a Kreg K4MS Jig Master System and several boxes of pocket screws. Everything barely fits. I don't use the tray that came with it. I bought a Flat Top to hold a Brother P-Touch label machine and about 30 TZ tapes. I bent some galvanized steel to make a couple of trays to hold the TZ tapes neatly in the case. I bought another Flat Top to hold a couple of pop riveters and rivets. I currently keep most of my rivets in Akro-Mils 19320 metal/plastic cabinets but plan on consolidating everything into one tool box. If the Flat Top is too small then I may get a larger tool box and add a riv-nutter too. The lids lock well and they stack well on each other such that I don't need to latch the units together unless I plan on transporting them. It would be nice if DeWalt offered a medium sized TSTAK Tool Box sized between the Flat Top and Deep Toolboxes.

Get organized, the affordable way
The Tstak system is a great storage alternative to even large scale expensive toolboxes. Instead of transferring tools to different boxes to take with you off-site, grab the “jigsaw & orbital sander” toolbox. Having had a Snap-On large box, it didn’t accommodate all different types of storage, the Tstak system does. This fits a more than adequate amount of tools, I'm not trying to fit an overly abundant amount of items into a container in which I'll never find what I need; I am using this to organize what I have. I am not a mechanic, but when it comes to fixing something or paying to have it fixed, I'll try to do it myself. So I tend to invest a little more in quality items that I can take care of, this definitely accommodates that. In response to anyone saying they are not sturdy enough... I have 3 sections attached together which probably weigh close 40 lbs, have brought them to and from work every day for the last 2 weeks with absolutely no issues. I found it best to buy 1-2 pieces at a time while organizing, and at the price, you can’t beat it.

Really like this product line
Really like this product line. Holds several sets of screwdrivers, pliers, etc. The drawers slide nicely and close with a satisfying click. While not as heavy duty as the dewalt tough system, I think these will last quite some time.

Dewalt Deep Tool Box
This is a very nice tool box with a lot of room to store things in the bottom. It also has a nice removable tray on top. The latches seem to be sturdy and they clamp the lid down securely. I'm using this box to store heavy truck tow chains on my flat-bed trailer, and so far it has worked perfectly for this purpose. Being it's made of plastic, It also has provisions to install a pad lock. I can't say it's strong enough to keep a determined thief out, but it is strong enough to help keep honest people honest. The price is right on this tool box, and I think it's well worth the money. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a gasket around the inside of the lid which would have made it more weather proof. But here again, it does clamp down tightly.

THIS ROCKS!
So far i like them. They will fit on a shelf where a metal tool box won't, and they are just as portable. The drawers lock and unlock easily. The drawer slides have bearings for smooth opening/closing, and will handle the weight well. The drawers come with removable dividers that are locked in place, which is excellent for getting things organized. The only "con" the drawers have is they are plastic, which no matter how load them might sag eventually. The case seems sturdy enough as long as it is taken care of. Tossing them into the back of a pick up and left to slide around is not a good idea for it's long term survival. I like the handle, comfortable enough to carry. The plastic makes less noise as compared to a metal hip roof box full of tools when being carried around. They even have a trolley to make transport easier. The only "con" about the case was pointed out by other reviewers. It is the bottom of the case. When it is set down on a flat surface the "feet" on the bottom make the it bow upward into the bottom drawer, not really a deal killer. I think the problem can be fixed with a little ingenuity. Overall i definitely like the Tstak line of products I bought two of the two drawer units and I am happy. UPDATE 3-10-20 I bought two more of the single drawer units, and they are nice, they even come with a bunch of small parts storage containers inside the drawers. Even more useful! I no longer think it is the feet that makes the bottom bow upwards, just something that is. As long as it does not interfere with the drawer operation, I don't care.
