DeWalt ToughSYSTEM 1 Vs. Tough SYSTEM 2.0 Toolboxes - Which one is better?

DeWalt ToughSystem 1 versus Tough System 2.0 Toolboxes Review. Everything you may (or may not) want to know about these tough toolboxes. In this video I compare the internal and external dimensions, the features, functionality, and pros and cons of the extra large mobile rolling tool boxes, medium / large tool boxes, and small tool boxes. Some boxes I purchased with combo kits, while others I picked up during the Holiday sales at my local Home Depot. #DeWalt #toughsystem

I’ve got six of the TS1.0 boxes, now I’m in the market for another tool box, but I cannot find any TS 1.0 boxes for sale anywhere, as to be expected I guess. I really like the TS 1.0 boxes and I don’t want to start wit yet another system of tool boxes, so I’m really happy to find your video and the information that the TS 2.0 boxes are not only good, it backwards compatible.
Thanks and cheers from Tokyo!😊

This is a great review. Lots of information and the sound effects are good for my ADHD... Lol 🤣

Hands down, best review I’ve seen of Straight to the point, tons of info, and on screen dimensions of the products. Great review, I have subscribed.

When I brought my Tough System 1 home, I knew that the plastic wheels would be worthless on any surface so already had a modification planned. I removed the plastic wheels and replaced them with 4.10/3.50-4 foam filled (flat free) tires available at Harbor Freight, as well as most hardware stores. I don't recall if I had to drill n change out the axle to a 5/8" rod but I did use a longer one and put a spacer behind the hub so the tire wouldn't rub. I also added a wood block across the front so it sits level. These were simple modifications and it'll roll on any surface. If I was to buy a Tough System 2, I'd do the same thing.

If it rained and you open the lid of 2.0 box, all the water fall right in to your box, system 1.0 won't do that.

[SofaKingMelo]

Are the 2.0 Rolling Toolbox and the 2.0 Extra Large Toolbox essentially the same, besides the wheels?

[MadeInGreatBritain]

Really useful tip for the 2.0.
Grease the little hinge tabs. Stops the noise and I think it should make them last longer too

[kdcz]

Cmon man. All those ridiculous background noises. Overdone.

[marshallcollins]

Informative video but ALL the lame stuff inserted (I’m sure you guys have a name for it). Was too annoying to come back.

7:08 Great for storing small parts? Seriously dude, not everyone is one of these IQ 60 construction workers, these can be great for people who mostly use small tools.

[kevinshea]

Great video, great job. Right to the point. Thank you for the informative and comprehensive review.

[wesleybrown]

This video is EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks!

I have 4 of the system 1 setups with 5 boxes on each I’m sure I exceed the weight limits but haven’t had any problems with any of them and as far as hurting my hands on the latches 🤣🤣 MAN UP PEOPLE

[TidalWaveDan]

I’m here to find out what the yellow thing on the top of 2.0 does.

[whirledpeaz]

Love the visual side by side dimension comparisons. The sound effects are hilarious. Fun Review.

Talking about warranties, DeWalt make a lot of noise about lifetime warranties but here in the UK they only give 12 months. When asked why they said "they never break so it doesn't matter". If it doesn't matter why only 12 months? Guess what? I have had 2 x DS400s with broken side handles outside of the 12 month warranty. They can't handle the weight when full. so now I only use the top handle. I had to buy a new DS400 then take the broken one back after 3 months and claim a refund using the receipt from the new one.

[btqy]

Both are good. I had 2 boxes that broke .I took snap shots . I sent them to Dewalt. They sent me 2 New ones and I was able to keep the slightly broken ones. Dewalt sent me the wrong boxes. They sent me 2 more and had me keep the wrong ones so I got 4 New boxes.

Haha I love the background comments! Thanks for the video! Regards from Germany

Обзор классный! Жалко только, не по русски. Не понял нихера.

[chemacb]

Great video man! Just subscribed. You mentioned drawbacks to the Dewalt Carrier dolly thing (DWST08210). What are those drawbacks? Thanks!
