Do it. You will not regret it!

I've got the DS400, whch contains 240V angle grinder, 240V multitool, cordless SDS and drill driver. DS300 contains hand tools. 2 x DS150 - one containing service tools except FGA and multimeter, second one contains a piece of antistatic foam, with cutouts for FGA and multimeter.

I also got the trolley, held in place in the van with wooden chocks, and the boxes clamp onto the trolley. Great system and the trolley is useful for carrying heavy cast iron boilers etc.
 
Hello i have just bought a few of the Systainer boxes, expensive but worth it.
 
Dont buy the one with the drawers cant remember the name of it but rubbish one of drawers broke in the first week i had it tough my arse. Got the other stuff jig saw circ saw drills angle grinder along with the tough boxes they are good the trolley is useless for domestic as it wont fit through a standard door.
 
Ive got all my cordless drills and drill bits in a ds300 I think, really good value for money takes the weight takes a beating
 
Either the dude is small or the tough system is quite large.

Just bought a load of desalt tools that come in these.

very solid boxes, bit heavy but I'd be surprised if they didn't last a long while.
 
I've got the ds300 and I can get my cordless cir, rip, sds, drill and impact all inside with 4 batts at a squeeze. Very strong box, nice to sit on to.
 
I've got the 5ah drills in a toughbox. What's the airvalve all about on the box!?
 
Thanks all. I've taken the plunge and ordered the three boxes and trolley!
 
Speaking of weather-resistance, check out that water seal! The case is rated to IP65 standards, meaning that it is completely dust-proof and can withstand water jets. A relief valve is built into the lid in case a pressure differential makes the lid difficult to open.

Taken from a review page.
 
I've ordered a couple and there's free delivery over £30.

The Dewalt trolley looks a bit much for my needs, might just bolt on a couple of casters and see if I can drag 'em around like luggage.
 
Finally my boxes and trolley arrived today. Sweet Jesus it's enormous! I can hardly move the thing and it's empty!

Here you go dancin!
 
This system is brilliant just a shame the dealt tools are lacking behind the milwaukee and makita tools. Although I have to say I'm seeing an increase in dewalt tools on site. But my 4year old makita combi drill still out performs one of our fitters new dewalt combi drills
 
We'll the boxes and trolley still haven't been used. It's sitting in my dining room because it's just too big for the new van I'm driving. So I'm thinking of selling them on. Thought I'd see if there's any interest on here before ebay. It would be collection only from fareham.
 
Just went back to photo #31, bet Kates been happy dusting that! lol
