The big TIA stack off – Page 3

Mr. Yellow · 2015-01-24T20:20:46+00:00

Let's have a little competition here and see which of us got the tallest, most expensive, most colorful or whatnot stack. There's nothing to win besides eternal fame on the TIA boards. The rules. - You need to stack your cases. Preferably the stackable kind, but regular toolboxes are allowed too (on your own risk) - Take a picture, post it here and don't forget to measure your stack(s) - TIA or it's members cannot be held responsible for any injury or damage in your trying to enter the competition ;) I'll start by showing mine... [External image (cl.ly), not copied] A good 360cm. Though it's lacking 2 cases that weren't around.

the f-ed up thing is based only on the number of sustainers he has, about 45, my stack should be 33% taller than his!!!!!!!! that is insane and there is absolutely no way i am going to try to add them into a single stack.. if he didn’t empty all those then he is a nut job!!!

they definitely aren’t for everyone.. you do the majority of your work in a shop, correct? i don’t think they offer as much value it that type of a situation because you aren’t moving your tools around and you can have dedicated spaces for all your stuff… then again they do offer a very clean look for storing all your tools even in a shop..

I know ‘Mr Yellow’ would have seen this on Social Media, but me and a couple of other Dewalt die hard supporters were working a film in East London.. I met these Guys (along with Mr Yellow) at a Dewalt Event @ Silverstone F1 circuit in the UK a couple of years back..

The opportunity came together for us to work, on a project, and inspired by this thread, we decided to empty the Vans for a ‘Stack off’…

55 boxes later, and here we are….

Go big, or go Home…. lol…

Mmmm. Tough boxes, must get More. Those are some great pics! Don’t work too hard now.

The Box with the Plugs is a DS400 that my mate built.. It sits in the very back of his Truck, on the same style of racking as myself and Mr Yellow… It has a retractable lead that pulls out and allows the Box to plug into a local 240v power source.. It then means that either 240v tools or 110v tools can be used.. If need be the box can be removed from the rack and taken closer to where you are working.

Some people might think it a bit overkill, but it is essentially the same as a transformer, but can be moved around on the Tough System trolley…

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012May 12, 2015 3:25 PM CT

Not overkill dude. A lot of guys are doing the same with their L Boxxes and Ststainers. That’s just plain smart.

Kenneth DenmarkMember since Jun 2014May 12, 2015 3:37 PM CT

Overkill don’t exist in this forum..! And that is all I have to say about that..

Mr. YellowMember since Jan 2011May 12, 2015 4:17 PM CT

Awesome stacking guys! Did any of you end up with someone else’s Toughbox? 😉

PennywiseMember since Mar 2014May 14, 2015 5:48 PM CT

If only there was a way of getting into the boxes stacked in the middle….. 😉

Two rules in Tool Fight Club

1. We don’t talk about Tool Fight club

2. No whining about the money you spend. (as far as the wife knows it cost 20 bucks)

I swore I wouldn’t get one but they cleared them out way cheaper than the Systainer 4 so I bought two for storage. Have the cooler insert though

Nice stacks fellas! I cant compete, but Ill pull all mine out and snap a picture of my humble collection.

You guys using the Midisystainers, what are you putting in them? Would they suffice for a cordless box? I need something better for my 18v Makita sawzall,multi tool, grinder and perhaps the circ saw.

I don’t really want to use the maxi, sense it doesn’t interface well the rest of the system.

Thanks,

One more Home Depot to hit this week and then I will be Ready!!

It would be funny if you got all those boxes and that sick line up of DeWALT metal chests and have only few tools… 😉

Really wanna see when you’re done organizing everything.
