The newer 12V tools come with a "bag" not a case.
I like the Dewalt Hard cases. It is one reason that my tools last.
Are there kits with the hard cases vice bags?
Can we order a hard case for the new tools?

As far as I know, Dewalt does not currently offer a hard case for the 12v Max drivers. However, you could probably buy a NiCd 12v case on ebay and it would fit just fine. Clicke here for is a list on ebay. |

I keep mine in this tool carrier, the sides are rigid so it keeps your tools safe and has a lot of nice compartments for storing accessories. Can be found here: http://dewalt.com/tools/work-gear-softside-tool-carriers-dg5587.aspx |

It seems like most of their tools are going to bags now. Getting harder to find the hard cases. I guess it makes the kits a bit less expensive? It does come with an interesting little bag for some type of use, but I would not want to put my max drills in them and still have a bunch of room to put other junk in and mess up the kit! if it had seperated compartments for each piece then maybe. A small hard case for this kit would have been sweet, just for the two drill kit and a light...seems like a good idea.

Hard cases do offer better protection, but offers little room inside VS a bag, for a DeWalt bit set kit, 3rd battery, Flashlight etc. would hardly call those just mentioned "junk" and mess up the kit! |

I would gladly pay a few bucks more for the option of having a hard case. I like the protection hard cases offer, along with the fact they they are easier to stack. It would be nice if they had a case molded for the 12v Max stuff with extra room for stuff like the 3rd batter that Lowe's offered for free upon kit purchase for a while. That and perhaps a little detachable bit case or something. I mean the bag is alright, but I'm just a hard case (guy).

Once the Tough System hit's the market, I will certainly invest in the entire system. A fully customizable storage solution. I can dolly all of my tools around instead of packing in bags/cases a handful at a time.

You can find it here. I've just had a stack of Toughsystem cases coming in last friday. Gonna move all the powertools to these boxes. The extra space I can use to add accessories. Most accessories I have stored seperately which is not the best solution cause often I have to walk up and down to get that one accessory. No more.  I've seen some of the new XR tools that come in a DS150 case with a hardplastic molded tray to keep the tools, but some others just have foam. Wonder which direction DeWALT will go with these inserts. |

Seriously, how did you get those?!?!? Those stacks are better looking than some of the ones at the pool.
