Jronman Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 what would you like DeWALT to come out with next for Tough System? Maybe something you have seen on a competitor system or something new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77Ford Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 More smaller organization for the inside. A handle on All the totes. A retro fit handle for the current totes. DeWalt tags to label the toughsystem. A special bracket to mount the radio on the back side of of the carrier. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeCraft Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 A four wheel flat cart to give any individual ToughSystem box or stack of boxes wheels. Similar to the TSTAK cart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm2176 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 A FlexVolt powered Segway version of the carrier, with stair climbing ability and remote control. Home Depot should sell it put it on clearance three months later, ideally at the same time DeWalt throws a FV 9.0Ah 2-pack free with purchase. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeCraft Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Soft sided tote with a hard bottom that will secure to the top of a ToughSystem box. Such as those made for the Milwaukee Packout system. Or even a modular palette that fastens to the top box, but has various hooks/holes to secure/bungee current soft totes, level/tripod, odd tool or bucket. Often wish the DS Carrier had a simple tube attached for levels or tripod transport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 A sys port style of system could be cool. Some kind of tough system light. I think lights could easily be integrated in a gen 2 power supply or even a gen 2 cart. Could have them on the front of the box so it aids in seeing your way when pushing the cart. I like how the current power supply is tough system compatible but it would be nice if it was integrated into a box so you would have the option of boxes on top and more weather resistant. All metal side latches would be nice because the current ones are known to be weak. The new side latches are a step in the right direction though. Tough system vac and compressor. A Tough system microwave would be cool. Maybe runs of a flexvolt battery. Would be nice if a guy wants to heat up his lunch on the jobsite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy MSG Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I can't believe the lack of calls for FlexVolt powered vacuum or compresors. Having seen the Festool vacuums with the adapters for their boxes, my idea would be to have the vacuum or compressor being the base box like the DS450 allowing it to be oversized compared to the boxes that would only allow one or two gallons capacity, instead as a base unit it could hold at least 5 gallons of sawdust or air. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeating3 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Inserts that will help keep my power tools organized. Not that foam garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody yes! It buggles my mind how these storage systems don't integrate tool space for levels and straight edges. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jslsker Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Agree with a bunch of the above. -Handle for the tote (like the UK models) -Vaccum built into a Tough System box -Another box slightly between the 150 and 300 (without the inserts or lids) -Love the idea of a soft side bag with bottom connections like the Packout concept -Dividers and maybe some more a la carte features. Hate having all the extra bins from my 130s and 150s lying around. -Integrate some of the mechanic's set boxes into a Tough System compatible box.

Brien Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would like to see a tough system Vac and Air compressor with Retractable cords and hoses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 All great ideas.....I’d add..a small compartment box...much smaller insert boxes,maybe two rows...plus a half size like the packout.....and just get the damn drawer units and other things shown out Already like Hugh said...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 - Improve the design and strength of mechanism to clip the boxes together while maintaining backwards compatibility. Perhaps they could implement something similar to the L-Boxx and use something stronger like steel or aluminium. A hybrid of the L-Boxx and Ridgid mechanism would be great; imagine the L-Boxx red plastic spring loaded auto-clipping tabs (put on the top rather than the bottom like with L-Boxx so it works with the current tough boxes) but made of steel rod like the Ridgid clips. You would simply but a box on top of another and it would click together automatically (like L-Boxxes), but would have the strength of Ridgid. This should be backwards compatible and would still use the connecting points at the bottom of the boxes. Something like this would place it a lot closer to the Packout in usability than it currently is. - Single drawer boxes: one with a large drawer (same height as the double/triple drawer box), and another with a small drawer (same height as half of the double/triple drawer box).

Jronman Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 @D W the newer boxes have an updated clip which includes some metal but the majority of it is still plastic. I think the new drawer units and cooler hasve have the updated clips as well as the DS450 and maybe the radio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D W Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 That's not a bad idea really. Hot food on a cordless jobsite! A 9" cordless grinder is possible so an 800-1000W microwave might be too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarbatche Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I would bring a microwave to the job site. But more importantly, a battery-powered tough system compatible single serve coffee maker. Like the Oxx Coffeeboxx with FlexVolt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm2176 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 A FlexVolt coffee maker would be nice for FTX and bivouacs. I invested in a couple of Ridgid fans (DeWalt's was still a couple of months out at the time) to help fight the GA heat a few months ago. It's great using these newer innovations to make life a little more comfortable in training. Obviously, I'm not in a tactical unit at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
