Does TTT work inside a DeWalt TSTAK or ToughSystem case?
Yes — the plastic case does not block cellular or GPS signal. Mount the device inside the lid of the bottom case in a stack so the tracker stays with the system if upper cases are removed.
Brand
The yellow plastic case is one of the most-recognisable tool brands in Australia. Easy to spot, easy to resell, easy to walk out with. TTT lives inside the case, the TSTAK box or the kitbag — not bolted to a tool, where a thief would find it. If the kit moves when it shouldn't, you will know.
Why thieves target it
High brand recognition means high resale value. The yellow case is instantly identifiable on a marketplace listing, which is good for legitimate trade-in and bad for theft recovery. DeWalt 20V Max kits hit a sweet spot — expensive enough to be worth nicking, common enough to flog quickly to a buyer who knows what they are getting.
What TTT does
TTT sits inside the storage that holds the kit — a TSTAK trolley, ToughSystem box, or the toolbox the kit lives in. Plastic cases do not block signal; mount the device in the lid of the bottom case in a stack so it stays with the system if the top cases get pulled. The moment the system moves outside hours, you get an alert and live mode is one tap away.
What we don't do
TTT does not track individual cordless tools — a single drill, impact driver or grinder. The device is too big to live inside a tool body, and it does not make economic sense to put a $19/month subscription on a single 20V drill. What TTT does: track the storage that contains the tools. For per-tool tracking, use an inventory app like Tool Protect plus AirTags in each case.
FAQ
Three common questions on tracking DeWalt kit.
Yes — the plastic case does not block cellular or GPS signal. Mount the device inside the lid of the bottom case in a stack so the tracker stays with the system if upper cases are removed.
Not directly — the tracker is too big to fit inside a tool body. We track the case or kit storage instead. For per-tool tracking, an inventory app for serial numbers plus an AirTag in the case is the standard combination.
Indirectly. TTT tells you where the kit is. Combined with serial number records (from an inventory app or your purchase receipts), that is what police need to action a recovery. We do not scan Marketplace for you — that is a separate problem with no silver bullet.
