Dewalt’s popular 10 compartment organizer, model DWST14825, is back for the 2021 holiday shopping season. This is a once-a-year type of deal that’s usually available for a couple of weeks or as supplies last.
Aaron (thank you!) wrote in with a heads-up:

It’s not the typical stuff I go for, but these were on sale last holiday and were out of stock before I got there. I think my store just got the one shipment for all season and they hit the floor this morning. At $10 with cups that interchange with Tstak these are a pretty great way to fill up a workshop.
This Dewalt organizer deal is typically advertised in Home Depot’s Black Friday sales flyer, and it went on sale at the start of November last year.
Right now, the organizer can only be purchased online for in-store pickup or express delivery. I just came back from my local Home Depot, and the organizers were not on display yet, and so online ordering with in-store pickup might be a good option. Aaron mentioned seeing these at his store, and so “your miles might vary.”
A regular (and free) shipping option was activated mid-November last year, but there’s no telling if that will happen again this year. Check back if that’s the purchase option you prefer, and I’ll keep an eye on it from my end as well.
I bought a couple of these Dewalt organizers last year, and I’ve been quite pleased with them. This isn’t my preferred style of clear-lid organizer, but I’ve been using these for less critical storage needs where I couldn’t justify pricier alternatives.

These organizers have removable bins, fixed handles, metal latches, and they can stack and latch together. The lid also has grooves that help to keep the contents in place.
At the time of this posting, there is a limit 1 per order notice.

Dewalt’s ToughCase parts organizer doesn’t go on sale (at least not that I’ve seen), but is still a great buy.

Dewalt Organizer on Sale for $10 (Home Depot Black Friday 2020)
Steve
It’s a Dewalt/Home Depot Holiday Tradition!
I just bought another 3 at my local store (had one from last year). Your local store could put them out at any time, if you’re thinking of getting them do it before they’re gone. Keep checking your store

Interesting. I missed out on the sale price as my store sold out like 117 units in about 3 days. So I was in the store yesterday and needed a container for miscellaneous camping odds and ends. Prefer an organizer with a weather seal because it could end up getting rained on while camping. Ended up buying one of these for $20 over the Milwaukee organizer. The reason…. At regular price these include a rubber seal inside the groove around the perimeter of the lid. None of the product photos show this. Do these have the seal at holiday pricing? By the way, the Milwaukee at $25 is nice and has a seal also but the bin sizes are a little smaller so the Dewalt is a better fit for my needs.
Alex
Yes the holiday pricing ones had the seal. There was a close out deal on what was likely some old stock without the seal that came with the 8 bin organizers (with seal) as well for like $8.74 each. I got that deal and was slightly disappointed at the lack of weather stripping but it was a great deal either way.
Matt the Hoople
Thanks for letting me know. Now I’m disappointed I decided to wait a few days to go to Home Depot to get some. I actually was surprised to see these in the store at regular price yesterday as I have only ever seen them in person during the holiday sale last year. Until yesterday, I figured they were just a limited run item for the holidays. I like the one I bought well enough that I won’t procrastinate if they go on sale again next year. Next best deal to these on sale is probably the Husky stacking organizers at $15 regular price. However, they have a little smaller bins and no weather stripping. Also, the lid is more translucent rather than fully transparent which could be a put off depending on one’s needs.

I bought a pair of them last year, and never found a use for them, until I started sorting out Lego bricks — one has roof tiles/slopes, the other has plates in it — they’re not really scalable for Lego storage, but work well for parts where one can have a sufficient variety to be useful in one container which can be grabbed, accessed, then put away.
Steve
I’ve been saying that for a couple of years, as soon as my kids are big enough for Legos I’m buying lots of these too sort then into if they keep this deal up.
Michael
I consolidated and had empty ones. That’s exactly what I did. Sorted by type.
I will probably grab more this year because I will always find use for them!
Jake
Does anybody know if this is compatible with Dewalt’s TSTAK system? Thanks
Vards Uzvards
No, it is not compatible with TSTAK / VersaStack organizers and boxes.
Patrick
No. Dewalt has three different systems: ToughSystem, TSTAK, and Pro. This is part of the Pro series.
Aaron s
The cups are compatible but the cases don’t lock to tstack
Clay
Bought two of these last year. Am in for another one now.
Thanks!
Clay
And they cancelled it…
TTG
Last year these came back in stock before Christmas after the sale caused them to sell out. My HD mistakenly put them out at the $10 sale price. I happily took 2 home at the posted sale price. But the manager immediately went and changed the posted sign. These things move like hot cakes at Sunday brunch!

The bright yellow color of the inserts is really helpful, it provides a really good contrast, and makes finding stuff easier.
I have some organizers from OEM, and parts stored inside them are hard to see, due to the black color of the inside.
Rog
I’m not a big Dewalt fan but I snagged a bunch of these last year for Black Friday and they’re awesome. I might get a couple more this year just in case.
Plain grainy
I plan to hang these type of organizers on a wall. With a hook or hanger through the handle. Then I will have a visual storage, for quick access.
Aaron S
I keep thinking about slanted shoe shelves as a way to get them visible but increase density
Randy
I just bought 12 of these right off the pallet at my Home Depot in Kentucky. The lady who helped me was super helpful and while she didn’t actually locate the pallet (I did using the PLU) she did seem genuinely interested in helping me and helped me load my cart up once I found them. I’m a contractor and these are really a saving grace for our operation.

I love these things. I like them even more than the packout organizers.
Last year I grabbed a dozen, I’ll probably do the same this year. They’re worth it for the cups alone.
Build a drawer unit for the cups, use the organizers as bulk storage.
Charles_A
That’s a fine idea –
Steve
You can pull all or some of the cups out, put foam in them and cutouts for tools, use then as cases, at $10 per they are the best value in organizers/cases/toolboxes. They’re even IP rated.
MoogleMan3
Yep. I have two in my doweling setup; one with my dowelmax and accessories, the other with the dowels I use. Like I said, I love these organizers.
Doresoom
I bought 5 of these last year, and may get a few more this year. Kaizen Inserts makes a custom foam filler for this that’s great for mobile tool kit organization: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9j5RvD0en/?utm_medium=copy_link
MoogleMan3
Pretty nifty, though I prefer kind of a hybrid approach to make the most of usable space; kaizen foam for things I’d rather not have flopping around, cups for the rest.
Charles_A
Looks like DeWalt makes something like that already…
https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWST88801-TSTAK-Foam-Insert/dp/B00PS1AJT8/
Aaron s
That’s for a different case
Doresoom
As Aaron pointed out, that’s not compatible with these cases. Also, the Kaizen closed cell foam is much more customizable than that pick and pluck style.
BradWH
So I missed these last year. Saw them online with pickup at my local store. They were all in boxes in gift center locations labeled to be opened Nov 1st. Showed the associate the home depot store on phone with pickup at the same location and they went over and opened boxes for me.
Limited to 1 online per order, but you can get as many as you like in-store!
Steve
Now we just need somebody to 3D print or otherwise create TStack/Versastak and Tough System adapter plates and sell them at a reasonable price.
JoeR
Yup, picked up two more yesterday. Filled the other 2 from last year while cleaning up the garage this weekend. A lot more electrical items left to categorize. My HD had just put them out in the tool section near the other small storage items. The Home Depot lady confirmed the price for me. Thanks for the heads up.
Also – Stuart sorry for bothering you a while back on a recommendation for a good place to donate old hand tools. After Goodwill said no, I found the Habitat for Humanity store (ReStore) and though initially skeptical, they were thrilled to have a hundred or so used hand tools (pliers, c-clamps, punches, chisels, screwdrivers, various hand saws, plumbers tools, measuring tapes, masonry tools, automotive hand tools and more) that were my Dad’s. Since both my late parents donated their time to their local church and other agencies, I think they would agree with my decision.
Jason
I wish they’d put the shallow version on sales too.
Stuart
I’m keeping an eye out for the Packout low profile. That’s the only shallow organizer that ever goes on sale.
Aaron s
I think I recall this being a quietly good pack out deal from last year. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-SHOCKWAVE-Impact-Duty-Alloy-Steel-Screw-Driver-Bit-Set-with-PACKOUT-Case-100-Piece-48-32-4082/312440069
Stuart
That is indeed a great deal, thanks for the heads-up that it returned!
Chris Shelton
I am really hoping for a tough system 2.0 drawer system for my sockets. I really like the deal for the items that you get in the folder style socket sets. But I would really like to have a drawer system.
Mike
I wish dewalt would make a all drawer system, a large drawer on wheels, another large box with two decent size drawers and a three drawer box and then make half box drawers, they would crush the competition if they came out with that, I’m getting tired of removing the boxes to get to the bottom box
Al
Any sources for dividers? Or smaller cups?
I don’t have a 3d printer.
aaron s

Al
Thanks for those links @aaron s.
I looked at services/people who print it for you. They ranged $5-10 per cup. Higher than the cost of the entire case. 3D printing is still more of a prototyping technology.
The OEM cups are around 1.30/each.
If I ignore the cost of time, it seems that printing 30 cups with dividers would justify buying a printer.
But, logic says that trimming cardboard or sheet aluminum would be even cheaper. Maybe I should stop being lazy, and start cutting! 🙂
Don
They had them in my Home Depot near my office.
Picked up 2 today. Hoping they have them in HD near my house so I can get 2 more. It’s a great deal.
Rich
Thanks for the tip, picked up a couple.
At my HD they had the https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Tough-System-2-0-6-Compartment-Small-Parts-Organizer-DWST08020/313818239#product-overview in the bins of the down the aisle displays for $19.97 ($5 off) and this one stuck back on the regular shelf for $9.97. Employees didn’t know about it and had to ask to find it.
It looks plenty tough and is probably 25-30% bigger with more divider options. No brainer. Might get a couple more.
John
Wish they would bring back the shallow parts version of this. I have plenty of this version with the deep compartment, would love the the shallow ones which are MIA.
MoogleMan3
They do have them online, just expensive: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-10-Compartment-Shallow-Pro-Small-Parts-Organizer-DWST14925/300937586
If you shop around, stanley sells the same exact organizers (both deep and shallow) as well, though the stanley versions have cups that are a slightly lighter yellow.
Michael Veach
They need to sell the parts bins separate. Many in packs of 1 to 5 depending on size.
MoogleMan3
You can buy the cups direct from dewalt, but you’d pay more than what you get by just buying one of the organizers. IIRC, the cups are about $1.30 each direct from dewalt servicenet.
Just want the cups without the cases? Buy however many cases that get you the amount of cups you want, list the cases for sale for $5 each. You just got 10 cups for $5.
Al
Genius idea. Wish I would have thought of that before I just ordered 25 cups for $59 (including shipping).
The small are 1.31 , large 2.61. Ground shipping 8.99.
John B
As of an hour ago, these are available online but still only one per order. Free shipping though. So, I made 3one item orders. Fingers crossed they don’t get canceled.
Aaron s
Sold out at my store and we’re only 4 days since they unpacked them! Hopefully another shipment coming…
TonyT
Just bought 3 – they’re definitely a great deal.
Local store started with ~80, now down to 32. Store also has a lot of special deals up.
Stuart
My local store reports 400+ in stock, while a much bigger store in the area only have 54 left.
These tend to sell very fast, but I also remember seeing lots of inventory left over at my store (a few years ago, not last year) after the promo pricing ended. Maybe they lost track of the boxed up inventory and put them out too late.
George
Home Depot now has a deal that’s the 10 compartment (DWST14825) PLUS the smaller 8 compartment (DWST14740) for $8.74 with free shipping:

Stuart
Looks like it was a mistake – it’s showing up as not available and a clearance item for me.
Vards Uzvards
I guess it all sold out already. There were a couple hundred (?) available when George posted about this deal.
TonyT
Maybe a mistake or VERY popular – something funky happened. I looked at the deal with 354 left, added it to my cart with about 330 left, started adding other things to my cart, and about 5 minutes later, when I went to finish checking out, all gone.
George
I picked up 3 but I will not be terribly surprised when they decide to cancel the order.
TonyT
Hopefully “if they cancel” the order….
Stuart
That’s possible, or they could have suppressed it. Sometimes Black Friday pricing appears early and are disabled when caught.
George
Well it seems it shipped! But it is marked “Clearance” so I don’t know if it’ll be back as we close in on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
Stuart
I’m thinking there’s a 50% chance it’s on clearance, and a 50% chance it’s a Doorbuster deal of some kind.
TonyT
Agreed, it could be either. I didn’t time my checkout process, but based on my imprecise recollection, they’d have to sell at around at least 50 per minute if it was clearance.
Alex
I ordered 6 of these sets and they got delivered, it The large organizers, while the same SKU as the ones currently being sold for $9.97 on HD, do not have the yellow seal/IP rating which leads me to believe it likely was clearance. Still a great deal.
Vards Uzvards
And these DWST14825 organizers, in these two-piece sets, look exactly like on Stuart’s pictures in the article 😉
Alex
I noticed that as well. Which makes me wonder…does anyone know when these started having the yellow seal? I know they’ve been around for years and have been a Black Friday special many times.
TonyT
Glad you got them, sad I took too long to get my order in.
But my local HD just got in a big batch of the current DWST14825’s, so I happily picked up 3 more.
