Dewalt’s ToughSystem DXL tool box system has garnered mixed reviews, and after extensive testing, it’s clear this is a highly specialized product.

Primarily designed as a customizable, portable workstation, the DXL system comprises a dolly, two 1-drawer and one 2-drawer tool boxes, and a worktop with a handle.

While the system boasts robust construction and an impressive design, its practicality for general storage falls short of expectations.

A significant element contributing to this is the substantial use of plastic, a necessary compromise due to the large drawer dimensions.

Despite being manageable when empty, the system’s considerable weight makes maneuvering, particularly over uneven surfaces, a noticeable challenge.

Furthermore, the price point reflects the system’s specialized nature, though it remains competitively priced compared to other modular plastic tool box systems.

Despite its limitations, the DXL’s compatibility with existing ToughSystem tool boxes is a positive feature.

However, users may find themselves needing to create custom dividers to maximize storage efficiency, and integrating it with smaller ToughSystem components can prove less effective than using standalone boxes.

Ultimately, the Dewalt ToughSystem DXL excels as a unique, purpose-built workstation, but potential buyers should carefully consider whether its specific design aligns with their individual needs and workflow.
