Concerning that it came last in the ProjectFarm test, but I haven't watched it yet. Might return this set if it did too poorly, or if there's a good sale on Gearwrench.

beak on 200ft lb on rachet? shouldn't worry you because people should use the breaker bar for that much torque
Edit: Looks like the trays should work regardless of the version. From Dewalt [dewalt.com]:

Dang, I love PF but that review method was weak. Look at the price differences in the kits - literally >2x the price from the cheapest to the most expensive but he never really factored that in. And the performance differences were pretty mild, talking all within 5-10% of each other.
I wish he had done a test with the sockets to see how much force they could take before rounding or breaking, if that happened before the socket breaking - and even more importantly what their tolerances are since that is usually the one thing, other than ratchet performance, that is a concern. It sucks when the socket tolerances are not good, can end up rounding a bolt with low force, as in the wrench testing. The only tolerance test was those wrenches, but his Dewalt kit didn't have any to test.
Of course if money isn't a big deal or you are planning to use them a lot, I honestly agree with him that paying 2-3x the price for a set that includes all the inbetween sizes and is high quality is worth it.. but when money IS a factor it's hard to recommend paying twice as much for a bunch of less common sizes that you may never need. And in that comparison, among the "reasonably prices" kits the Dewalt had a better selection of sizes too.
While I'm replying might as well address someone else saying to the original kit came with the 1.0 version of the toughbox, the versions seem to be mostly superficial and they're compatible with each other so it doesn't matter. If you can find a good deal on the 1.0 or the 2.0 box for these then more power to you, but for right now it's about $130 to assemble the tools and box.
