Tool Box Storage Rack, Tough System, 440 lb Capacity, Garage Storage System (DWST08260)

The engineering in this system is superb. As an engineer myself I can appreciate the dozens of little details in the system that had to have taken a lot of thought, time, and prototyping. First of all, the stackability. The boxes not only stack, but firmly fall into place so they don't slide off. They also lock together. On cases with a lid, a convenient recess for placing a label tape is visible even when stacked tightly. Of course, stacked and locked together is great for transportation, but not for day to day use. This is where the racking system comes into play. Dead simple to assemble and very sturdy. I will say that that carrier brackets gave me a lot of trouble until I realized it was all operator error. Using the wrong tool for the job. It is difficult to get the bolt to engage the nut with an Allen wrench, even a a good size t-handle wrench. However, a Allen bit on a 12 inch extension bit attached to a drill does the trick with no problem - it allows you to hold the bracket in place with one hand and drive the bolt home with the other. So as I say, this was totally my issue and not the bracket design. I would like to see one small design change here, however: Graduated markings on the square tubing to allow easy alignment of a pair of brackets would be great. A tape measure works, but takes time and is difficult to manage while holding the bracket in place. If I was to build these again, I would lay out all the square tubing together and mark them with a framing square. I have the small, medium and open tote cases and they are all great. I want to comment specifically on the small case though. It is an amazingly flexible case. You can leave all the plastic organizers in it and store small tools/parts, or remove some or all of them. One of my favorite features are the groves in the lid that catch the edges of the organizers - this means if you configure a case with only some of the organizers installed they are still captured securely and don't slide around - no matter where you place them. I have also found the small bins built into the lids to be helpful. These bins fold down and fall into slot molded into the edge of the case, which props the lid open and allows you to access the two bins without needing to hold the lid open. One of the bins is has no dividers, and the other is divided in to smaller sections. The case has handles on the sides, front, and top making it easy to cary anyway that is convenient.

Great addition to my garage. It’s sturdy, holding up to 440 lbs, and perfect for keeping my tools organized. I love that it's easy to install on the wall, which helps save floor space, and it works well with DEWALT’s ToughSystem toolboxes. The rack feels super solid, and it’s made to last. While it’s a bit more expensive than other options, the quality makes it worth it. I’m so happy that I’m already thinking about getting more brackets to expand the storage.

I bought 2 of these for all my DEWALT ToughSystem boxes. They were very easy to assemble and install. The adjustable bracket heights make it easy to customize to your needs to accommodate whatever size boxes you have. Just like with the ToughSystem dolly, they slide and out of the bracket arms very easily and keep the boxes organized and up off the floor. I mounted a 4' shelf along the top of the 2 racks to hold bulky, non-Tough System items. The brackets to have a through-hole to run screws through to bolt down the shelf. The only cons I had... - Shelf system do NOT come with lag bolts/screws hardware to mount to the wall, so you'll need to get these yourself - One of my shelf systems came with the proper feet, and the other did not, but had extra end caps...not a big deal but they must have a slight problem with their packaging quality assurance. - Included bracket arms do not fold in, like on the cart, but if you buy/have extra fold-in arms they do mount to these shelf systems with no problem. Overall, I am very happy with these DEWALT shelf system and really helped me organize the clutter in my garage while still making my Tough System boxes easily accessible.

Each shelf holds up to a specific weight, and I don't use a lot of force when working on my projects because of convinence of power tools. Using this as my modular toolbox storage and as a work bench has been great, the rails have an opening that allow you to insert screws from under, or on top, to fix a board of wood to create a quick work surface. When I first got this I searched the internet all over asking, does the hardware come separately? The parts for the rails and the connection to the beams come in this package. When I originally got mine, it was missing a lot of the pieces. I notified dewalt and amazon and get this replaced within 2 todays, thank you prime. There is a lot of customization that can be done with these and allow you to pick your spacing for each tool box. I recommend that these be primarily used with dewalts drawer modular boxes, open handed totes and suitcase totes. In terms of hardware, such as fixing the rack to the wall, or floor, you will have to buy your own pieces, which I prefer.

Easy to install, the parts where you put your totoes could be a little better for quality. But once they're in place they work great. I put this in my work truck to save space and it's been life changing

Terrible design, not made for vans or anyone with decent heavy fixings, it’s flimsy, and massively over priced, it’s no good for me as my Dewalt collection is for work and not to be balance on this tripe

I put this in my low van. Works beautifully. No more unstacking to get at a tool. I agree with everyone else that having the foldable arms included would be perfect. To get it to fit my low van I cut the top bars down. Worked so perfectly I couldn’t believe it.

excelente

I have the trolley, so this seemed like a good idea, but I was very disappointed to find the brackets that come with this rack are fixed and not foldable, so always stick out, which is a bit crap when rails are empty, and even more annoying to find the folding brackets as supplied on the trolley (and available separately) DO fit this rack. Grrrrrrrrr

Did not now arms not folds away as on trolly ,
