DeWalt DS150 Toughsystem Organiser Box (Without Inlay)

What a bit of kit this is! It's every bit as robust and well made as you hope it to be. I'm always critical of poor engineering and attention to detail but everything here is just done right. This is the first storage box I have absolutely no worries about putting my kit in, it's unbelievably well made and well thought out.WHAT'S INSIDEThe box comes with a full set of storage cups, including two larger ones that are double the size of the others. If you have one of the Stanley FatMax Deep Organisers then those cups are similar but actually smaller and not as quite deep/large as those in this Toughsystem one.There is also a spacious storage tray that is formed into the lid of the box. It's opened with a sturdy handle and clip and when down sits in a small groove that prevents the lid closing on your hands (very VERY good design). I can fit all my drill bits in the right hand part of the tray which has a sizeable partitioned storage area (roughly 117mm x 221mm). It's possible to easily fit standard length SDS drill bits up to the 12mm with in this compartment (which is 221mm long and 39mm wide) and you can pile in about 7 or 8 (I think) bits of various size per partition. There are 2 of these longer partitions and a couple of shorter half length ones that fit shorter HSS bits and some short wood ones.The left side of the storage tray has another little box area that has no partitions but is the same overall size as that on the right. You can get loads in there too. The middle part of the tray is left open for you to store whatever longer items (around 255mm but you could get 300mm+ in diagonally) you have but the structural foam of the lid does limit the depth of items stored here in some areas. I managed to wiggle in a standard chuck adapter for an SDS drill but only by tucking it under the ribs and you wouldn't be able to fit something that depth in all of this particular tray area. Long drill bits would be fine in here though.WHAT CAN YOU FIT IN?In the main compartment I actually took out the storage cups and now have a Makita HR2610 SDS drill and a Makita 6281DWPE complete with charger and spare battery. These are NOT small and that just shows how much you can squeeze in. It does take a few tries of getting the layout right (especially fitting the battery) but once you get it sorted it goes in and shuts cleanly without any snags or bulges in the outer case.IN USEI've already had the box in and out of the shed a few times for various projects and it's fantastic to finally have all the tools and bits I need in one case. Today I was fitting some guttering and had the box out in the rain. I didn't seal it up but even just with the lid down everything stayed perfectly dry. With it closed and sealed (the latches are strong and easy to operate) I washed the mud off it with a hose pipe and I certainly believe that you could pressure wash this and the contents would remain protected.SOME POINTS TO NOTE/INFOFirstly, it's heavy, especially loaded. Easily manageable for the average bloke and strong woman but this isn't a lightweight option. The handles are great and are found on the top and side. The latches are very good too (nicer than the Stanley FatMax box one IMHO) and I can't imagine them failing or coming open or anything crazy like that.Secondly, the lid doesn't open all the way back, the top doesn't go back far enough to rest on the floor. In fact, it stays just passed the vertical. I like this but you might just want to take that into account.Thirdly, the internal dimensions of the bottom tray are: 486mm wide and 255mm deep at the narrowest point where the handle is. The deepest part of the box is 280mm or so but that's measuring in between the ribs and nodules that protrude from the edges. The internal height of the bottom tray is hard to say because of the top tray slightly impeding on the height of the bottom section but it's around 85mm.There is some give in the case so a bit of squishing will let you fit in those odd shaped things but those measurement should give you a good idea what you can fit in. I think it holds loads for a box of this type and with the incredible amount of protection it has.IN CONCLUSIONI'm buying a DS300 Toughsystem box as a result of buying this. It's actually on order now and due to arrive in 2 days. My step dad (an old school tradesman of several decades) was salivating over this one and my father in law was almost tempted away from is beloved tool cabinet. This is a serious bit of kit that you can invest in and build your storage around. The other options in the range will let me grow my storage and keep things protected, particularly as I move house which happens about once a year at the moment!I whole heartedly recommend this case (as you can tell) and hopefully the above has answered some questions (they were the sort of thing I wished was explained in the official literature). If you have any more questions, you can comment and I'll see what I can do.

Excellent tool box and well made, unfortunately did not fit my DeWalt chainsaw but still well worth the purchase.

What can you say, it's a toolbox, but wow its huge, a nice neat screwdriver holder and a solid top tray, I now need to buy more tools 😅 so much space, this help as I had a few toolboxes around the house and needed something bigger to store everything in one place and now it's so much easier to grab what I need instead of rummaging around to find what I need all my tools are now to hand, yes it's a bit pricey for a toolbox but you get alot for your money, as you can see from the images the though system isn't compatible with the tstak system but I'm not bothered tbh 😀

I love Tough System boxes. They feel indestructible, can be jet washed and can be locked with enough security to allow me time to sprint over to whoever is trying to snatch my stuff. This is the largest sized tool box of the Tough System series and its cavernous volume has easily enough room to store a wide range of tools. It has a storage rack for screwdrivers etc and a tote tray which is very useful for keeping smaller items handy. I like the way it locks itself to other Tough System boxes, storing itself and my tools neatly is a big help when loading on sleepy mornings. As for its strength, I regularly stand my ample frame on this to access hard to reach areas with complete confidence and no flexing.When buying its important to note that, when fully loaded, this is quite formidable to carry. It right on the edge of being do-able and my back is glad DeWalt don't make a bigger one.

Delivered on time, looks sturdy (that is what the two star is for) but didn't include a tool tray or organiser so incomplete not as advertised, also has labels on it for some power tools which it obviously once contained so basically a second hand box.. Very disappointed 😥

Regarding my recent purchase of two (2) Dewalt DS 150 Toughsystem Organiser Boxes, I can report as follows:The delivery of these two items took less than half the time quoted on the invoice.Packing was excellent.The units were very strongly constructed, with excellent HD latches, and with several essential fold-down handles.The arrangements regarding slotting the two boxes together in several positions was ingenious and solidThe overall colouring, (black/orange/silver), was eye-catching and easy to spot when coming down onto airport caravels.Altogether a first-class product.

I think this is my favourite tool box ever. The insert is pre cut so you may need to mess around with that depending on what tool you want to use. I have a 18v brushless and I needed to make 1-2 alterations, but now fits snug, I even cut out a space for a spare battery! This box holds the driver, 1 x spare battery, 1 x charger, 1 x tape measure and 3 x Drill bit sets (wood, metal and masonry) as well as the Dewalt screwdriver bits all easily and therefore it is my take anywhere all in one. Not only is it practical and well made - it is also solid as a rock and therefore virtually indestructible.Only minor downside is weight which is on the heavy side - but for me that is just reasssuring of the build quality.want to buy more drills - just to get another one....

The best tool box bar none. A bargain too as this one contains the tote tray. I've spent way too much one these tool boxes (and will probably end up buying a couple more!) as they save me so much time lugging stuff around. The best stackable inter-changable tool box system on the market and very durable too.
