In reply to Mike D. Standard drawer slides are used. I believe they will have a 25 to 50lb capacity to them

So, what do the drawers slide on? I don’t actually see a drawer slide in the pictures, but none of the pictures show the side of the drawer well, while extended.

Just trying to anticipate the weight capacity of these drawers (as others have shown concern for).

Awesome! Where the top two drawers go, can it be modified to change it for another one like the one at the bottom to make the box with two deep drawers?

In reply to Justin. The drawers catch but you do have to close the side latches

Hopefully they come out with a two drawer box as well, wold like larger drawers for the little bit larger items, this one looks pretty sharp

Thank You, Big Richard! I punched that SKU into the App for Home Depot, and found it immediately! $134 CAD, Only Available Online… not a bad price, or deal at all!

I never thought of that, and I should have. So, thank you for clearing some of the cobwebs out of my brain on this one! I appreciate this kind gesture immensely!

Looks promising. Hopefully they fix the problem with the handle latch breaking. I’ve gone through 3 boxes where it breaks and there are no replacement parts available. I had to reinforce the latch on my most recent box. Seems to be holding up

Very nice! I was just in HD the other day thinking I should have bought another complete set when the pricing (recently) was at $139, like 2022 holiday season pricing. Glad I waited. Now instead of using the small toolbox for ‘sparky’ items I can buy the drawers and use the small box for what I intended it for – more small cordless tools.
Also customer service is great and expedient! I bought the mid-size box first for my M12 fuel stuff (outgrew the Milwaukee bag). It did not include the small tool tray. I missed this as did the HD cashier. Keter had it to me in less than a week. Very sturdy boxes and price point is excellent. Looking forward to the drawers.

A quick online search of the part number reveals many retailers here in central North America (USA). I assume you will have similar results in northern North America (Canada).

Any idea if these drawers will be IP65 rated?

In reply to JoeM. I haven’t seen it in a while. Grab the model number and look for a local dealer?

In reply to JoeM.

Special Note: The related articles accompanying this one show that DeWALT Stepstool Toolbox… The article is from 2020, but… is that still available? I haven’t been able to find it up here in the North… and this article directly made me consider it again. Did it get discontinued, or is it still active? Should I, perhaps, look for the Stanley version it was originally based on instead? It’s a weird landscape for SBD up here. Stanley is very common, and DeWALT hand tools are almost exclusive to the American box stores, and independent tool stores. Tool Boxes (and things like this stepstool/toolbox combo) might be DeWALT at Home Depot, but Home Hardware or Canadian Tire will only have the Stanley version, if that helps explain why I am so specific here.

Alive or Defunct is my point. Amazon perhaps?

Stuart – what are the drawer slides like? Do the shallow drawers fit the orange bins from the clear lid organizers? Can you share the model number of the box?

I’m excited for this.

Do the drawers latch closed? Or do you have to close the 2 side clips??

In reply to Mr.C.

In this instance Ridgid is not an independent manufacturer. From Eric’s comment (above) – it may be that Keter was already making them for sale outside the US and was asked to add them to the range of boxes that they label “Ridgid” for sale at Home Depot – or it could be that it was a request form Home Depot that got the process started.

I’ve been wondering when rigid would step up to a drawer system. Exciting news for me. Curious when they will introduce tray systems for large & medium boxes. I’ll foam the tools in. Rigid also needs to sell replacement hanging , small organizers included in the 2.0 system. Maybe beef them up. Love my 2nd generation boxes.
