ChrisK Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hopefully they come out with a modular unit like my Systainer T Loc's and Bosch L-boxxes. Looks like a decent box but I'm curious and God help me for saying this, that the Dewalt Tough boxes might offer more? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Your not wrong this is nice a tool box for carrying a some tools around don't get me wrong but its not a system like all of the other companies offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Toolguyds offer and they said maybe there is still more to come but I can go to HD right now, get a structural foam box by Dewalt a little cheaper. I haven't because I don't was a bunch of boxes laying all over the place. Not dissing Milwaukee, I bleed green then red....but I hope they don't let us down here.

Gatorb888 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I wanted stackable boxes! Just buy one of these and throw a Milwaukee sticker on it if that's your thing. Plenty of "corner storage" haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 OMG!!!!!! SACRILEGE!!!!!! That's pure insanity, I would NEVER put a Milwaukee Sticker on a Dewalt box....my God in Heaven! Think of the carnage! Kinda like when Venkman wants to cross the streams in Ghost Busters. Next thing you know Zule will appear, Sigourney Weaver will be wearing see through clothes and writhing about! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Maybe that's why I hear strange noises come from my Tough box with my Milwaukee tools in it. I think that Milwaukee missed the boat on this one a little to late to the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Just buy one of these and throw a Milwaukee sticker on it if that's your thing. Plenty of "corner storage" haha are those stackable? If they are I'll check them out. I don't care who makes them Gator and I agree with Chris that I wouldn't paint a dewalt tool red or a Milwaukee tool yellow. I was going to look at dewalt and Bosch stackable boxes but then I heard Milwaukee was coming out with a storage solution too so decided to wait. If this is it I'll take a look at dewalt and Bosch sooner.I like Milwaukee but I'm not a fanatic. I wouldn't go as far as painting stuff like they did with the guys ride on mower in the tool talk show. It is cool to see it in dewalt colors but I don't think I would go that far. Eric and Dan even said there was a Milwaukee tattoo contest, that's just nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 This is a rare Milwaukee miss. Not going with a modular system is a huge deterrent for me. I couldn't honestly care less about it as is. A fancy hand box is all it amounts too. Dewalt/Bosch 1 - Milwaukee 0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I like that It's set up for carrying a few tools but If they took what they had started and made it a modular system It would have been a home run. I get what Milwaukee is thinking a lot of guys still like to use tool bags and tool boxes, but there are people like us that really want a super organized yet portable solution. Dewalt has the best options from the t-stacks which are very reasonable to the ultra durable tough boxes. The Dewalt guys might take this and post it all over Dewalt social media pages DR99 had something positive to say about a Dewalt product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 40 dollars is pretty reasonable at that price for a tool box that size if it is as durable and weatherproof as they say. Another Issue I have is it looks like you can't fit a Drill, Impact, sawzall and circular saw, charger and some batteries, in the box. If you could have done that I wouldn't be as harsh on it. I like some of the features and will probably get one just so I don't have to lug so many dang blow molded cases around all the time. I think Dewalt is phasing out plastic cases for tool bags now in most of their newer kits. I kind of get it you get more usable space in a tool bag but it's unorganized for the most part on inside the bag and out. Tool bag's just seem to lay there you can't stack them for the most part. I don't know if bags are that much cheaper to make though I know the plastic dies to make the boxes is expensive but after that the costs have to be pretty low where making tool bags requires more labor.

astroboy Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 This is almost perfect for me. I have a big shop with lots of tools but I like to keep my personal hand tools/drills in one place. I currently use a dewalt but this looks a bit more organized for me.If I could keep the drill, impact, and circ saw in there, PLUS some hand tools, it would be one stop shopping for meHowever I REALLY want one of these boxes to have a built in power bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyJ Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Very interesting, here's what I said on the main page..I love the corner tool pockets and the connections for the battery charger. I bought one of those 28″ dewalt/bostitch waterproof boxes (very similar in design). I even cut slots in the lid ribbing to tie up my hand saw and 2 foot level in the lid with hook/loop tape. They sure do get heavy when filled. I was kinda hoping for a 22-24 inch toolbox that will fit through doorways/hallways more easily. Something easily tied to a hand truck. I am still looking for a box for my tool only Fuel Circ and it’s awkward dimensions. What are the dimensions of the inside of the box? Are they coming out with more options?I understand there are no stackable latches, but how about little feet/notches so they can stack without falling over?

Javier Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 it should be $40, the weird thing is that this tool box was display only with no ad or any on hand to sell, literally a tool box on a table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDama Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 ...strange, maybe a teaser to build up hype. Have yet to see them in the Phoenix metro area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
