Butchered a small case, to adapt to a Radio……Now it is no longer sittin on the Floor.
In Picture #3, the Dewalt Portable Vac and Flex Light are both held in place, by using a dead 18V battery, with the batteries removed and the empty case screwed into the appropriate location. Tool locks on to the battery case and keeps them secure.
Thats great! What a great idea!
Thats pretty bad ass, patent that and have DeWalt buy it haha!!
That’s a good idea. May be DeWalt could come up with something like a sliding dovetail or a way to use the stacking clasps to attach the radio to the boxes.
I bungee the same radio to the top of my box while on the cart. I like your innovation. I don’t have the guts to hack a tough box.
Great idea on mounting the vac and the flashlight!
That’s great! It wouldn’t really work with their latest radio. You’d be blocking the 2 outlets on one side and the storage case on the other, but it works great on the one you have.
Gives me an idea….. Building a radio using a whole tough box. Like they do with coolers.
Cool idea. I like tough box radio idea too.
If you’re good with electronics circuitry, you could setup the whole thing perfectly. Storage inside, battery charger, etc.
Rick that would be badass!
Great idea how about cooler and radio in one.
as long as its worksite tough im in 😉
It has to hold at least a twelve pack. At least.
Lol hell yea!!
Oh and it needs a lock, so the coworkers keep their paws off.
Especially for the ones who never pitch in 😉

Now we’re talking!
A DEWALT Tough System, Radio, Charger & Cooler!
Alright who wants to pitch it dewalt, maybe they can have it out by Christmas 2020.
Count me in!!
Not a cooler, maybe a charger(?), definetely a radio and for sure it attaches to your ToughSystem…
As if DeWALT didn’t have enough radio’s yet, here’s the next one…

🙂
That would be cool!!
Done. I had the old 12V charging radio; I could use an upgrade that incorporates the tough system.
That’s cool. Is that an actual box or did u etch toughsound onto t.
Seems like a prototype. Not my picture. It was posted by A Concord Carpenter on his Facebook page…
Oohhh that will cool if they come out with it
They should invert the colorscheme for that radio. A yellow box with black handle, cover, buttons. So you know from far it’s the radio and not a regular DS150 😉
Wonder where the battery goes…
Oh, in fact, if they did this to a DS300 you can put some heavy speakers in there… 😀
I agree 100% Mr.Yellow 😉
Hmmmm…. That’s pretty neat.
Man I hope there really gonna come out with that tough radio…..
Man, that’d be pretty cool. I’d scoop one of those up. Dan and Eric said there were some exciting new DeWalt tools coming out – I wonder if this is one of them…
The TS Radio look very cool, still waiting until it´s offered in Germany, did anyone get´s some infos about the runtime with a 4 or 5 Ah battery and the price
I will guess the price will about 320 € + vat
Premium price for the premium model. I reckon it will have DAB+ for that kind of money?
It will..
And it makes coffee
I don’t drink coffee. However, if it can cook water…. 😀
Thanks guy´s, that´s a lot of money but it looks awesome, I have heard the radio should be launched in Sept. or Oct. in Europe.

Same here, but sometimes I burn the water.
I just returned from sales meting and I have seen the radio.. How was the sound?… OMFG.. SUPER NICE!! And this isn’t just a salesman/tooladvisor talking.. I’m sure you will say the same when you hear it..!!
Man I can’t wait to get one of these!!!!!!
Is it loud? The DCR017 is pretty loud, but hey, the louder the better. And a lot of oomph oomph oomph 😉
Yepp!
@ KWC, can you lock this radio on the brackets somehow? ’cause if I get one I want to be able to store it in my toughrack in my van, but the radio doesn’t have the side handles to lock it. Doesn’t seem so on the pictures anyway?!
Is it released yet, and are the clear top organiser and open top box due out also?KWC wrote:
Nope not yet.. Yep they are out in EU
So how does it lock then? Is there a recessed area in the sides where the brackets sits in?
Funny that you posted that link to the radio. That’s where I get some of my DeWALT stuff. However, the radio isn’t available till October 1st.

Like you normal will do in a tough case
But there are no side handles that click onto the brackets…
Or did the desgn change from this?
