That has been one of my concerns. My garage has ranged from 32 to 100 degrees F during last year. Is it OK to store batteries there? For that matter is it OK to even store tools there? I definitely don't charge batteries there. I have moved charging station inside.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
No idea, but the product manual says not to store in places over 80F and operation under 32F can be a little rough at first. So maybe 40-80F? I keep ours under the sink of the bathroom next to the garage door.
You would have to look in the manuals of all of your tools on safe temp ranges. I imagine there could be min/max storage temps for tools, though imagine 0-100 is fine to just store. Might want to warm something up prior to use under freezing? 🤷 My knowledge comes from reviews on their 40v snowblowers and people stating essentially poor or no performance due to battery issues when the batteries were charged and kept in a non-heated garage.
This does look nice but if you're cheap like me, a 3" PVC pipe, a couple shelving brackets and 1x8 from your local box box store will give you about the same storage as this. Will it look as nice? No, but it'll be a helluva lot cheaper.
Got mine today. Look to original tape. The box looked a bit scuffed. But the tool box itself is perfectly new.
NVM I'm blind lol. Front is perfect, top left rear metal trim is dented. I got most of it out with wood blocks and a big c clamp. Hardly noticeable really.

Mine is exactly like yours. Slightly dented at the top back left corner. Just hammered it back with a wood block too. The front and sides are near perfect.
My cabinet was shipped quick and arrived in new condition. Honestly can't find anything wrong with it. I did take the suggestion made here and painted the door sunrise red and added a new logo. Turned out nice. The hooks don't work as well for M12, but it gets the job done.

Was worried about the "damaged in shipping comments.
I bought an identical one a few months ago in person at a DTO store and that was in perfect condition.
