The original ToughSystem was better than the new 2.0 stuff. 1.0 was all about racking. 2.0 is about stacking. Stacking systems are less efficient than racking.

TSTAK 2.0 / TSTAK II was released a couple years ago.

They work great.

I love your tough system collection. You are about as dedicated as I am. I'll bet you don't have the new Tough System Flexvolt M-Class Dust Extractor?!
Nobody has it and Dewalt are being ridiculous for not providing it. There have been a few anomalies with Dewalt Tough System 2.0 actually. Has anyone noticed that the 4 Port charger isn't compatible with Tough System 2.0? I'm wondering what the purpose of upgrading the Tough System was. I will gladly swap my 2.0 cases for the original Tough System cases, but none of my friends like Tough System 2.0 either.
Dewalt - you failed! Now hurry and redeem yourselves by releasing the dust extractor in tough system!
Depending on your needs you might be able to just get an adaptor to attach the tstak extractor to your TS boxes.

Finally picked up the new DWST08350 ToughSystem Jobsite Tool Bag. After playing with it I ordered a 2nd one just to use as dedicated range bag.

Dewalt ToughBox products have been discontinued.

There are a couple versions of the drawer units. None of them like to be stacked, but work ok when hung on a racking system.

I'd like to build my own racking for the ds brackets or maybe even find a dolly that I can attach them to. The ds carrier cart is too wide for what I need. Does anyone know the width of the racking 1" frames? Either on center or total width?
Inside dimension 17-15/16".
Outside dimension 19-7/8+"

Seems that maybe the brackets play a role in the difference in strength between the van & shop racking?
What if I installed a shop racking system into my trailer, and used the DS brackets?
Would that be a strong enough setup?
Shop rack tubing is fine for a static load in a garage. But in a mobile situation the tube walls are thin, short and are splined together with plastic joints. The mounting brackets are for lag bolting to wood studs. I recommend buying 1" full length tubing to roll your own.

How deep is the hole on the hex driver end? Looks like a telescoping ratcheting screwdriver.
-
Holes appear to be the same on those found on the Porter Cable plunge bases. Any of the Microfence attachments for cutting circles should fit.

WorkShop bracket vs DS Carrier bracket. Both are interchangeable on 1" square tubing with pin holes.
WorkShop bracket is 100% nylon plastic with a very small nipple for height registration. It's largely a friction fit that keeps it from sliding down the tube. DS brackets have metal hinge pins, a full size registration pin and heavy duty hardware with nylock lock nut.

I don't think the carrier brackets are compatible with the shop racking but I could be wrong. I suppose I could test it out.
They are. I use them both on shop racks.

DCBL720 is an old design that predates the Flexvolt tool line. Some of the new FV batteries are much larger as you have found. Dewalt now also sells a FV blower.

DeWalt told me the regular brackets would be an issue in a vehicle setting. Too flexible. The van brackets are stiffer.
The carrier brackets are the same as the shop brackets to my knowledge.
Carrier brackets are much heavier duty than the shop brackets. I have lots of both. Carrier are made for mobile usage and also fold away. Shop brackets are for static shelving and do not fold away.

Roll your own using ToughSystem DS Carrier Brackets and 1" square tubing.

Los Gatos used to make one. The adaptor alone was $250. I think they went out of business.

Everything I've seen out of the 2.0 system has been a step backwards for their storage boxes.

Finally mated the DCS374 saw with a SWAG Portaband Table and DeWalt DWX725B Heavy Duty Work Stand. Making my metalworking tools more portable, so that I can set them up closer to where I happen to be welding that day.

The only tool that will last 30 years is a corded tool just being honest. Battery powered tools are considered some what disposable sadly.
I've have 30 year old cordless Makita 9.6V tools that still work as good as new. The tools last. But the batteries and chargers don't.

Over the Christmas holiday I saw the Large Area Jobsite Light (DCL070) for as low as $149.00 on Amazon. (174.00 + 25.00 off Dewalt $100 purchase.) I assumed they were dropping in price now that the tripod has been released.
They're currently $199 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCL070-FLEXVOLT-Bluetooth-Light/dp/B01H9BLKKQ
