DEWALT TSTAK Rolling Tool Box, Mobile Storage, Extra-Deep Storage, Durable, Allows Stacking (DWST17820)

I bought these as they were recommended on a Toyota Tacoma web site as being ideal for placing behind the front seats on the floor so as to make a platform for your dog. Works perfectly for that and obviously also as tool storage.

I ordered the Dewalt Tstak clear lid organizer to bring some order to my drip irrigation supplies. I use this piece for all the 1/4 drip parts, the single drawer Tstak container for my 1/2 parts, and the wheeled box with long handle to store all the overflow parts and my extra 1/4 drip line. I can wheel the entire setup out to the garden or yard and easily find what I need, or I can lift off this piece when Im just working on the smaller dripline. There isnt much information out there if you want to organize your drip supplies, but I found that I could build my perfect system with the Tstak. Its sturdy, easy to use, and a nice size. All the other systems I considered were HUGE. This worked out beautifully for me!

Very nice design, stay closed driving down the road in a race trailer, tray depth is high enough that things arent bouncing from one into the next, all great things to say about these boxes.

I spent a few afternoons browsing tool boxes at local hardware stores and a few afternoons browsing their online selections as well as searching Amazon. I was looking for a hard case, sturdy enough to be used as a stool in a pinch, so all cloth cases and bags were out. And I was looking for something I could organize screws and similar small items in. Having previously used tool boxes with built in subdivided trays in the lid, that was my first choice, though drawers were another option. I did, however, need a fair sized open bin to keep my larger tools, and most drawer units did not have that option, or were in my opinion too big. I have used Dewalt power tools, and have loved them, but have not been impressed with the construction of their small tool storage systems, so I was a little concerned as to how this box would turn out, rather than biased towards it. I saw other Dewalt boxes in the same line at Home Depot, and was even more concerned, as some seemed well built while others felt cheap and fragile. I bought this box anyways, as it was the closest to what I needed, and was little more expensive than the cheapest, weakest boxes I could find in store. This box, overall feels sturdy. I would not worry about breaking it using it as a stool, though the lid for the subdivided top section is thin enough to noticeably flex; compared to most tool boxes with subdivide tops, with their brittle clear plastic lids, the flex is much preferred. The metal latches for the main bin close securely, and I expect they will last as long as the box itself. The aforementioned flexible lid to the subdivided top does not latch in a convincing manner: It has stayed closed so far, but I expect it will be the first thing to go. As I am no longer working construction, I doubt it will ever go, but if I used the box on a daily basis, I wouldnt expect that top lid to last more than a year, maybe not even half a year, before the latches wear and no longer stay closed. The hinge to the main bin extends almost the length of the case, just an inch short on either end, and has a metal, presumably stainless steel, pin. The subdivided top has 4 plastic nubs acting as hinges. This tool box can either be carried by a long metal handle, as shown in the pictures, or by a small plastic handle like a briefcase, which is not shown in any of the pictures. The long metal handle appears to be aluminum, and I thus expect it to tarnish over time, resulting in dark gray aluminum oxide marks on anything it touches. It is corrugated, resulting in added strength as well as a functional grip. The smaller plastic handle has a mildly rubberized coating; I do not like rubberized coatings as they quickly get dirty and are much harder to clean than smooth plastic, but this one is not sticky enough to concern me. While I prefer to carry it like a briefcase, I was surprised by how unobtrusive the box felt while carrying it by the long handle; it took little effort to ensure I did not bang the tool box against my knees as I carried it. Both handles are very sturdy, and lock reassuringly into open or flat configurations. I would expect both to last as long as the box even if I were using it on a daily basis. The tool box also balances on end, like a briefcase. Inside, the main bin is 16x11x4 deep, with another 1 of clearance in the lid. The small bins built into the top are another 1 5/8 deep, with negligible clearance in the lid. I can fit my socket set, screw drivers, hammer, and measuring tape in the main bin just fine, though I cannot also fit my power drill. I am not as pleased with the subdivided top: the compartments are typically too big or too small. There are four small bins, in which I can put driver tips or wire nuts or whatever itsy bitsy thing I want, but they are only just too small to fit a normal sized measuring tape (considering how hard it is to find a normal instead of fat measuring tape these days, or that Dewalt makes only a fat version, this is not surprising), nor are they big enough to fit other common small tools, like allen wrenches, or even 2 screws in any useful quantity. There is one large bin, but at 5 3/8x6 3/8, it is far too large for even a fat measuring tape, while being only just too small for Dewalts sets of drill bits or driver tips. There are two more long bins, which would conveniently hold loose drill bits, or sawzaw blades; I have a Stanley utility knife in one, and while it is nearly the perfect length, it is wide enough to fit two or possibly even three such utility knives. This does make it easy to extract your tools, but it also feels like a lot of wasted space, and considering the namesake long handle is recessed into the lid, subdivided space is at a premium. I can fit all my tools and accessories in the tool box; just not in as organized a fashion as I would have liked. Overall, this is a quality built tool box. If you are looking for a reasonably large main bin with a subdivided section, this will probably fill your need. The box is sturdy except for the lid on the subdivided top, but even that is sturdy enough for home use. If I were to change anything in a new model, it would be to ditch the long handle and use the freed up space to add more and better thought out subdivisions. I have now considered buying the two drawer tool box from this same set, but as I dont at present have a need, I havent yet. I would buy this box again for family of friends. While searching,I came across one other box that almost won me over, a Husky cantilever box/organizer. It was just as sturdy when closed, except that the clear plastic lid for its subdivisions was rather brittle. I would probably have bought that one instead had it not been for that brittle top and my not liking cantilever tool boxes. If you are looking for the same things I was, this may be a good option for you as well.

I got this to store a cordless jigsaw (and, of course, the battery & charger). The box is sturdy and easy to open & close. When closed, it stays closed securely. It can also interlock with other pieces in the line. The tool & accessories fit well. I had some foam so I glued it in, to hold the tool in place securely. If you are so inclined, you can buy pick & pluck foam that is made for this case- Amazon sells it. There are other manufacturers who make similar boxes, but charge at least twice as much. So it’s a sturdy case & a good buy.

I already have ordered 2 of this unit and it really helps carrying our equipment for filming. i might need to order again. The only downfall for this unit is the handle it cannot be crank to slant (at least 40 degrees) it a little bit, so that if you push it for taxi its more comfortable. Thank you!

For 21 bucks, can’t beat it… some say it’s a fake and if it is you still have a great storage box. I think it’s the real deal and I’m going to use it with my Dewalt tools to keep them dry. I might even buy a couple more of this size just because of the price. I’m happy overall and you will be too.

I returned the item, but put the blame on me. The price and product are excellent! The size was a bit too large for my needs. I went with a brand new tall deep tool box from Dewalt to fit my needs. Again, this item is excellent!

So my husband finds the items on Amazon that he wants or needs and asks me to order them for him. So because he works 50-60 hours a week he doesn’t have time to write reviews, however I do and when he tells me about something I’ve ordered for him, good or bad, I try to write a review to help others in their ordering decisions. He had priced these locally and told me they were priced too high for him, (he can be a penny pincher) but when he saw this one and was a good price he said order that please. It came quickly and turns out he really likes it. He has plans to add on to this as needed, (as long as the price is reasonable). DEWALT is a good brand and he has quite a few tools/items from them. Sorry I don’t have more details for you men out there, but he’s happy with it, so thumbs up!

It’s a good base and it works very well with the Tstak system. Works on version I, I, iii, iv. The bad thing is that you have to assemble the product by attaching the wheels to the base, but they don’t include a tool to tighten down the wheels. It needs some kind of Allen wrench and there is no space to use any other kind of tool. A serious pain because the nut and bolt is VERY HARD to tighten down. Once you get it attached it is all good but it is going to p!ss you off getting it put together. Hey Dewalt, include the F’ing allen wrench.
