Hi TIA and crew
Today I have a review of the DeWalt Tough System Small Box DS150.
Price: $45
IP Rating: IP65
Tough Cart Compatible: Yes
Tough System Stackable: Yes
This box is part of the DeWalt Tough System line. Since it is part of the Tough System, it is interlocking with other units from the Tough System via the folding yellow wings. This Tough box, like all others features a water seal, making it IP65 rated. (water resistant) The lid to this box has a handle with a nice rubber overmold. This overmolded handle is also found in the front of the box. There are channels on the sides and a locking area on the back so you can slide this onto the Tough System cart and then lock it there. There is also an area near the handle if you choose to lock the lid. There are also some very strong, large, steel latches that hold the lid shut. The box comes with 8 bins: 2 large, and 6 small. The small bins can fit 1 small DeWalt 20volt max battery inside. The small bins also happen to fit very nicely in the pocket of my tool belt. The lid of this box also features ridges to keep the bins where you put them and to keep your parts/pieces from coming out of the bins, no matter how much you shake it. Attached to the underside of the lid is a removable fold down piece with two compartments. One compartment is open, and the other has dividers. This box is a bit on the heavy side, but with the extra weight, you get water resistance, rigidity, and security. If you are in the market for a sturdy, waterproof toolbox this might be the one for you

They are the same width and depth, but the DS100 is just over 4 1/2 inches tall where the DS150 is 6 1/4 inches tall
