I found some interesting photos.
I am not too happy with Toughsystem 2.0 boxes as I feel they have thinner plastic body compared to Toughsystem 1.0 boxes.
You can see a 2 drawer unit with Toughsystem 2.0 latches under the back pack.
Looks interesting. The TS2.0 cases do have a different feel to them, but in all honesty I haven’t paid but so much attention to them, merely loading them with tools and stacking them along with the older versions when I have a weekend project.
Interested in duffle. Also interested if they have plans for a bagged tote like Packout.

The only thing I liked about TS2.0 is that it has smoother internal and external surface compared to TS1.0 and they are a bit bigger as well. I love the metal latches that TS1.0 has. It is the case with all brands that they come up with a quality product first and then once it is well known they reduce the quality for the next generation.

If you use similar things from other brands and you are also in Toughsystem platform then why not, I personally do not like anything at work which is not wipeable.
The 2.0 Organizer is now listed on Dewalt’s US site.

I don’t think it’s available here yet either. Just promoted. I think ToolNut had it listed…but it was for taking pre-orders. Dont think it ships for a while.

ToolNut website does not open in UK for almost two years now, Thanks, I saw the photos online in some American websites.
Picked up the new large tool bag yesterday. Big fan of it so far.

Good that it works for you, I personally like tool boxes more so you can clean and wash easily.

I like it because I can now, easily carry my drill/driver along with my hand tools I hated carrying a box and bag for them before. I could’ve thrown them all in a Toughsystem mid-size box, but then I have to create inserts or make mods to keep the hand tools organized.
The bag is pretty rugged with a plastic bottom (inside and out) so it won’t be terrible to clean.
Plus I am more of a weekend warrior than a professional trade anyways.

This is exactly what I wanted a bag for, and for the same reasons.
I was carrying my Drill Driver and Multitool in a small box, and my hand tools in a medium with two trays.
I figured all of this standard work kit could be carried in a bag. Leaving me to carry boxes of any extra tools needed, in each hand and out of the car, jobsite etc with a bag on my back.
I ordered the New Compact Tool Bag, but sold it after realising it wasn’t a backpack. It’s also quite a short bag. If it was a backpack and was taller it would have been the perfect addition to my toughsystem 2.0 set.
I use milwaukee tools but actually prefer the toughsystem as the boxes are lighter and roomier. Easier to attach and detach imo. But very limited range.
