When given the opportunity to do a very close A/B comparison between two similar products, I like to jump at the opportunity. I decided to compare the dewalt dcs70 and the uws tbs-69 against each other due to their similarity and ordered one of each. I figured a good a/b comparison would be what people would like to know. I was wrong thinking this was an a/b comparison though.
Revision & Note: Thule phone call was not completely accurate - the lid profile on the dewalt is about an inch higher than the version Thule sells. We noticed this after both were in service trucks because some drivers complained about the dewalt blocking their window view. The photo doesn't show this detail well but there is a small difference. Some drivers didn't notice so it's pretty minor. Since the dewalt dcs70 lacked the 1/2" VSR drill mentioned in the product description, unfortunately my Apples to Oranges comparison turned out to be an Apples to Apples comparison after a...Read more By This review is from: DeWalt DCS70-DW235G 70" Contractor Single Lid Crossover Truck Tool Box With VSR 0.5" Drill for Full Size Pickups (Automotive) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The DeWalt DCS70 Single Lid Contractor saddle box seems to be of a decent built. The welds are a little rough, not much thought seems to have been put into cleaning up the weld areas. The box itself seems fairly sturdy, though it has the type of lock and latch system that can be easily defeated by a halfway competent pry-bar user. The box's construction characteristics make me wonder if the tool box was manufactured by UWS, and sure enough with a little research, it seems both are owned by the same parent company. upon opening the latch, the gas assisted struts take over and help open the lid and keep it open. It mounted on my truck with two J-bolts, one on each side, which I question the sturdiness of this type of mounting procedure, but will give it a try for a while to see how it holds up. The box came with a plastic 3-compartment top tray, which seems to fit a little tightly, so I doubt it'll be sliding around from side to side while traversing rough terrain.

This is one nice tool box. You can spend a lot more and think you will get something better, but I don't think you can beat the quality, good looks and function of this tool box. Looking at it from the outside you can see that it's a good looking addition to your pickup, but when you look inside you gain a greater appreciation for the exceptional quality, heavy duty construction and workmanship associated with this product. DeWalt has long been associated with quality tools and this tool box falls in line with that expectation. The lock/handle is solid and isn't one of those handles you have to worry about coming off in your hand. And the interior connection system is built tough so it won't spring and eaisly bend. The side lifts keep the lid open when you want the lid opened and you can feel the resistance as you close it. The weather seal is strong, tight and complete. There aren't any gaps that will allow dust and water to get in. The tool box installs easily and has lots...Read more |
