4/8/2024 0 Comments Dewalt battery adapters![]() I believe some tool users are eager for a gadget that enables the same battery pack to be used across different brands’ cordless platforms. The downside is that owning multiple power tools with different batteries and chargers can be costly and messy. These battery-powered tools can make your life easier and less stressful, providing you with the ability to tackle tasks with ease. Thanks for the great content, as always, Stuart! ToolGuyd is my happy place (well, maybe not for my checkbook).In today's world, there are so many different brands of cordless power tools, which are incredibly useful for DIY and construction projects, as they allow you to work with greater efficiency and precision. I am really glad to see this & it will be nice not to have to order it from the UK or elsewhere. Ya know, just in case of space aliens invading. I recently picked up a Ryobi electric start Bluetooth Generator. And since I heavily invested in cordless options like Dewalt FlexVolt tools (miter saw, etc). I also can redeploy to any new workspace with minimal effort. With all of my tools in rolling stack, I can know at a glance how many squared feet of storage space I need if I need to stow it all for a period of time. The other thing it affords me is I can move workspaces easily or compact everything into storage. So having everything modular and on wheels is becoming essential these days. I happened to be disabled where I have some mobility issues. Or I can move the dust collector over to a stack up of TStaks that have all of my sanders and sanding supplies. I also have a Dewalt Track Saw (in TStak) stacked up with the Dewalt HEPA vacuum, also TStak, for a mobile Trak Saw Setup. For example, I have Craftsman Mechanic Tools in a VersaStack stack up such that I can roll everything right up to my truck on the TStak dolly. Still a work in progress.īut I have other setups using TStak/VersaStack. I am going to try to mount it right over the engine. I plan to the two drawer ToughSystem 2.0 on my boat. The Dewalt ToughSystem 2.0 has some amazing features that I definitely can use. I love the fact that I can grab a combination of things and they all snap together and I am good to go. I have gone all in on the Dewalt Toughcase+ for bits & small tool kits. I am so thrilled the are finally doing this! I have both Dewalt TStak & Craftsman VersaStack. It’s a personal preference but I like them better than the standard tstak I boxes. I do enjoy the slightly larger clear lid for some tools because the top handle on the normal box makes it hard to fit some stuff without going to the larger tstak box. Does anyone know if DeWalt still makes the tstak clear top organizer that is the same size as small box? When the versastak came out, it looks like they switched all of those to the thin style which is great for space efficiency. This plate does go a long way into addressing this and I will probably continue to standardize on the tstak organizer bins. The Pro-organizer and tstak (and versastak) are the same size. But if I am honest, if they were available and compatible with these systems, I would probably find myself buying those instead (I figure I need about 10 more of each to complete my garage workshop storage).Īnother minor gripe I have that I am sure someone with a 3d printer can solve is the different sized removable bins within these system. Those are still available so no loss to the DeWalt brand. I do find myself wishing that their shallow pro organizers were more of the Stanley 25-piece container with the removable bins. Having bought into all 3 systems, I need this! It is a great surprise to see it work with the pro organizers! For me that is a huge bonus. This has been a rumor for a while and I have been waiting for a long time. They are often out of stock online and most of us want to actually see the toolbox before we buy. They’re too flimsy to fit a circular saw without bending when you pick them up…and some software weather sealing would have done wonders…not enough to be a DeWalt mud model, but maybe to slow corrosion if you’re storing tools in a garage or get sprinkled on when bringing your tools back from the customer’s house to your vehicle.Īlso, their biggest sin was availability….I simply couldn’t buy them anywhere. They’re too narrow to fit a full sized reciprocating saw or hammer drill. ![]() Tstak was a great idea, but the quality was too low. We want a well organized tool system that slows rust in a garage or van, but we don’t need to leave out tools out on a muddy job site in the middle of a monsoon. The extra bulk of ToughSystem and Packout add cost, weight and decrease usable space. However, many professionals only work indoors, like many electricians or woodworkers or trim carpenters or just woodworking hobbyists like me. ToughSystem and Packout are clearly designed for outdoor job site users. In fairness, I think DeWalt’s biggest gap is people who use tools indoors.
