First Thoughts
One question keeps coming to mind. Would you buy one?
Roto-molded coolers are pricier. Sometimes much pricier. Blow-molded coolers of the same capacity are far less expensive.
This cooler seems to be a yellow-plastic ToughSystem box, with a special insulating liner. It weighs nearly 20 pounds, empty.
Realistically, will this be used with any other ToughSystem accessories? Tool boxes?
Don’t get me wrong, it looks cool, and I love the idea of the tried-and-true ToughSystem form factor, but who will buy one?
Then again, since it’s a ToughSystem box, it should be extremely strong and tough. Dewalt claims it can keep ice cold for 5 days, which would be incredibly cooling performance at a fraction of the price of hyped-up roto-molded coolers.
