DEWALT TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 3-Drawer Toolbox connects to other TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 products

The DeWalt ToughSystem 2.0 stacks together easily, but it can be challenging to determine which products to purchase to keep the system cohesive because it all depends on the ToughSystem dimensions.


Whether you’re looking for spacious drawer units, tool boxes, organizers, and more, we have your back with their dimensions. When it comes to shopping online the frustrating part is that you can’t actually see what you’re buying; that’s why having these dimensions helps so much with optimizing your ToughSystem storage space. Don’t stress about how each piece is going to fit together, let’s walk through each section of DeWalt’s ToughSystem storage together.


Check out DeWalt’s overview video on ToughSystem and get an idea of how to organize your toolboxes:
