Most of us are familiar with the Festool/TTS systainer concept. Forget about it.
DEWALT has the answer and they call it the Tough System 4-1.
Another fine result of the merger with Stanley. First the handtools, now the storage.
It seems (initially) there will be 3 models and a trolly.

I think this will be EU first, but US will surely follow.
 
Some interesting bits to know
- You can secure the systainers on the trolly with a padlock
- The systainers have a waterproof seal around the lid, keeping water and dust away from tools/accessories

This is great. Let's hope that in a near future they are gonna sell their tools in systainers as well, or provide inserts to change from toughbox to systainer.

The small systainer



The medium systainer



The large systainer



The trolley

Those are pretty dang cool! Everyone else these day's seem to be coming out with these systainers. I wondered if Dewalt would. I'm glad they took the tough approach, and not the flashy-cute Festool approach!

True, most brands are jumping on the systainer train. I only have one tool from Protool that comes in a systainer. It's not bad. They have been around for years. I noticed there's a new model systainer with a different locking system, but overall it's not a huge improvement.
This DeWALT system however screams "heavy duty". Jobsite tough, exactly what we need Smiley

It's my understanding that these are Dewalt's 1st systainer.

I've never seen those, except for this very image that goes around the net.
One could easily make these as you can buy those systainers in black and the locks in several different colors incl. yellow. Add a sticker or two and you have exactly that. If anyone has more info about this...

I like how the guy is sparkling clean with the splashed on dirt on the boxes.
They look like Pelican Protector cases.

What happened to the picture with the new 18V (20VMAX) XRP Drill and Impact Driver? Looks like this topic got edited also.

You missed it. It was posted last night. I saved it but I'm not going to post it cause I'd get punished. Nice picture of the new XRP 18V (20MAX) Drill and Impact Driver sitting in front of one of those new boxes. And a new battery charger.

That picture was indeed removed (together with the other images in the other topic)
It wasn't posted here and it won't return before DeWALT announced the new line.
Sorry. Burned my fingers once already... Wink
Also have a picture with a cordless light, reciprocating saw and circ. saw. Great stuff. Just be patient...

I don't know. Looking at other brands it would be a strange move from DeWalt not offering dividers / trays to store tools or accessories. Let's wait and see what will be available at launch.

So these will also be available together with the XR launch in Europe on June 1st.
The small systainer is the DS150 (150mm height) and a capacity of 15 litres.
The medium systainer is the DS300 (300mm height) and has a capacity of 35 litres.
The large systainer is the DS400 (400mm height) and has a capacity of 55 litres.
They all have a water/dust seal around the lid and a pressure valve on top.

The cart is the DS Carrier.
