DEWALT Garage Storage Rack, Tough System (DWST08260) , Black

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

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.

I recently purchased a cargo trailer and was looking for some type of tool box system that I could incorporate into the trailer so as the tool boxes could be mounted on the trailer wall. I had some of the DEWALT tough system boxes already and thought it would be a great if I could use those boxes but some way be able to fasten them to a racking system. That's when I learned of the tough system rack and I ordered one right away. The rack is an amazing addition to my trailer as I can carry some tools and other things I would need and have them all tucked away secured on the trailer wall. Great system and I would recommend strongly for anyone that would love to have a beat and tidy way to transport tools out of the way of the cargo in trailer.

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 ,
