First Look - DeWalts DXL System - Stacking Interlock Upgrades too?!.

Quick Look at the first piece of my DXL toughsystem 2.0 drawers that have arrived. The Interlocking system is interesting as is the Din Rail on the sides. Let me know what you think.

Great, something else to add to my shop storage obsession 😊

Totally agree on the weight… But I’m very excited for this system!

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 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 🌞

Cool gent...your work on restoring old doors is superb.

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. 👍😉

The 2.0 inserts don’t fit unless you take the bottom out of the dxl and/or take the black handles off the inserts…else…the handles get stuck when you close and open.

Single slide latch system would not work on the standard tough system 2.0 because of the half boxes.

You'll need an assistant for hauling that toolbox around

[adhafer]

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.

I wish DeWalt would release this in the United States. They always want to wait for Black Friday.

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. 😮😊

[vincentabracia]

hi mate do you know if m12 circular saw fits in the bigger drawer?

[andyc]

Thanks, interesting to see, but too big and too pricey for me I think !

[skygreen]

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?

[martinneps]

How much weight do these drugs hold with these tracks

[juyhfrty]

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!

[MelbourneAlan]

[victoradegbesan]
