Stanley FatMax PRO-STACK II Shallow Tool Box – 13.5L, 30kg Load – Compatible with DeWALT TSTAK
The Stanley FatMax PRO-STACK II Shallow Tool Box is a foundational component of a professional-grade modular storage ecosystem. Built with the legendary FatMax durability, this box features thick, impact-resistant walls and a low-profile design perfect for organizing smaller hand tools, accessories, and parts.

Core Features of the PRO-STACK II System
- Modular Stacking System: Integral to the Stanley PRO-STACK (and compatible DeWALT TSTAK) ecosystem. Features strong, integrated hooks and connectors that allow this box to securely latch and stack with other system modules—boxes, organizers, or rolling carts—for versatile transport and storage.
- Rugged FatMax Construction: Built with exceptionally thick walls (approx. 2.8-3.0 mm) for superior impact resistance and durability, protecting contents from job-site knocks and drops.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to safely carry up to 30 kg of tools and equipment, far exceeding the capacity of standard plastic boxes.
- Secure & Reliable Closure: Equipped with robust safety latches that ensure the lid stays firmly closed during transport, preventing accidental spills and keeping contents secure.
- Ergonomic Carry Handle: Features a strong, comfortable handle designed for easy lifting and carrying, even when the box is fully loaded to its 30 kg limit.
- Optimized Shallow Design: The low 16.3 cm height makes it ideal for storing and quickly accessing smaller items, power tool accessories, or frequently used hand tools without digging through deep compartments.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Fully compatible with the entire DeWALT TSTAK system (v1 & v2), offering unmatched flexibility for users who own tools from both Stanley and DeWALT platforms.
Benefits for Professionals & Advanced Users

System Integration & Usage Tips
- To connect boxes, align the hooks on the bottom of one module with the connectors on the lid of the box below and press down until they audibly click into place.
- To disconnect, press the release buttons (typically on the sides of the connectors) and lift.
- For optimal stability when stacking, place heavier boxes at the bottom of the stack and lighter/shallow boxes like this one towards the top.
- Utilize small parts organizers or tool rolls inside the box to keep items from moving around and to maximize organization.
- Although highly durable, avoid dragging the box across abrasive surfaces to prevent excessive wear on the bottom.
- Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic.
