DeWalt DS295 Tough System Tool Box (also DWST1-81055)
THREE Drawer
Built to the same hardwearing standards as the rest of the DeWalt Tough System storage and transport range, this three part tool box provides a durable carry case for equipment and accessories which can be integrated into Tough System racks, whether inside a van, on a wall, or on the DeWalt Tough System Heavy Duty Trolley for transport around the workshop or on site. Alternatively it can simply be used by itself as a reliable, durable and weather resistant toolbox.

• Dust tight and water jet resistant (IP65) to withstand severe weather conditions
• Three compartments for storing tools, acessories and consumables
• Padlock eyes for lockable security

I’ve been waiting for these! When is the release date?
I’m sure everyone was waiting for this and the two drawer…Dewalt would have made a killing if they were available Black fri till now….packout would not have had a chance…..Dewalt makes great stuff,but they drag their feet
I’m considering trying one of each.
Hope they are better than the DS250 drawer units. Those were horrible. Drawers wouldn’t even open and close correctly if they were stacked with another Tough System box.
I have 3 of the original 2 drawer units, used in a single stack on a 3/4″ piece of plywood just big enough for the drawers with casters underneath ( my own cheap little TSTAK style cart). I admit they are far from perfect, I believe the opening and closing issues some folks had with them are more related to how much weight was in each drawer and the drawer bottom sagging. I kept one tool and it’s accessories in each drawer and they worked halfway decent. If you tried to put a hammer drill and an impact in the drawer and then some drill and driver bits, that drawer would have problems until you took some weight out of it. If I had to guess, I would say 10 to 15 pounds was about all each drawer is good for, unless you had the weigh out near the sides of the drawer instead of the middle. I would hate to see what they were like if you put a pound or two of screws or nails in a each of the little plastic boxes inside. Hopefully the next generation will work much better.
@TradeCraft @Grumpy MSG According to DeWALT this was something they looked into and supposedly the drawer issues are fixed. I don’t know how they were fixed. Guess guys will have to get their hands on them to see if DeWALT’s claims are true or not.
I was trying to see where the 3 drawer would be available in North America and I could only find it listed on UK sites. Hopefully this comes to North America. Supposedly the new 2 drawer is coming first of July.
Can’t wait to get my hands on some new drawer units. So pumped.
I would love to know if flexvolt 9/12ah will fit in the two drawer and if so how many?
@JRS5565…I’d say so the 9ah fit in my Tstak drawer
Has this tool box been discontinued now? i can’t find one in stock anywhere??
These were not available in North America
