DEWALTDW CLIPBOARD

Premium feel, everything works well. Plenty of writing surface. Pen hold down is firm, perfect for tethering.

Great for putting papers and receipts in so they don’t get lost or destroyed. Cool that it attaches to the other stacking toolboxes. Not that it will be used a lot but nice to have a light on it to illuminate the writing surface. And it looks cool.

My husband loves this! And uses it everyday!!

I'm a DeWalt guy through and through. In the evolution to battery powered tools you pretty much have to pick one platform or you'll have to carry around several brands of batts and chargers. Been there, done that. So 10 years ago all of my Makita, Bosch and Paslode tools were sold to make the switch. Being from Wisconsin it would have been to Milwaukee tools if they weren't so RED. Anyway, this is one of the few times DeWalt has disappointed me. The first thing I noticed is how flimsy the plastic is. You can bend this thing all over the place without even trying. I'm sure it's durable enough but it needs to be more rigid. Next is the size. Yes I know it has to be this large for the TSTAK platform but the (mostly worthless) light limits it's versatility in that capacity, as it can only be fastened on top of a box with nothing else fastened to it. Others have said they use this light independently. Really? In my opinion it doesn't even provide enough illumination for the writing surface. Like I was saying, this thing is huge, much larger than a standard writing pad. Its writing surface when closed suffers from the raised armored corners that make it very difficult to use anything but a small scale or rule when drawing. The pouch inside is poorly designed, having no designated pockets for a calculator, a small note pad, reading glasses or writing instruments. If you want to carry around six different business cards it's great (really?). Unless you glue them in, the little plugs that hold the pouch in place pop out easily. The pouch is poorly configured and poorly attached. I'll probably use some hot melt glue to fasten it in place and make some modifications so it's a bit more user friendly but in the end I'm glad to have only spent $25 on this. It'll see some use on jobs but can't see it being a go-to for me.Okay, so now that I've had this clipboard a week and spent hours figuring out what can go where and modifying it for my specific needs, it and I have become friends enough to add two stars to my original opinion. It's still huge but by using its size to my advantage you can tell by the pics it's been set up to comfortably contain a full sized pad of grid paper, reading glasses, a 12" Rapid Rule, iPad 9.7" and a DeWalt Atomic digital laser measurer on the right and on the left a highlighter, Apple compatible pencil and a combo pen/mechanical pencil. The pouch area contains a scratch pad, quick instructions for a construction master calculator (app on my iPad and phone), an 8" transparent ruler graduated in 8ths, a triangle ruler and in the large portion of the pouch a unique target I designed for the DLM. What's not shown is my iPhone (being used to take pics) can lay sideways above the iPad during transport without interfering with the writing instruments on the other side. The only modification made to the outside was cutting a slot in the upper TSTAK catch to accommodate a tape measure belt clip. The TSTAK will still function, but obviously not with a tape clipped in it. Being able to easily and securely carry all these very useful items as a single unit finally justifies this clipboard as a very useful tool that will most likely be EDC on job sites.

Absolutely love this! The light on the clipboard is perfect!

Nice clip board and it snaps right onto my craftsman t stack pack out boxes

Excellent item. The pocket is held in by small plastic pieces that never stay in so the bag constantly falls off and the fit to a Tstak case is iffy at best. aside from that I love the lamp feature otherwise I got it because it fit my system and it was cheaper than any alternative at the time. Would recommend superglue if you get this.

Awesome clip board
