A tool coupler is disclosed for coupling a tool system to a machine. The tool coupler may including a base configured to connect to the tool system and having spaced-apart plates, hooks, a first pin, and at least one web connecting the spaced-apart plates. The tool coupler may also include an anchor configured to connect to the machine and having a monolithic structure. The anchor may also include a rounded primary engagement feature protruding outward to engage the hooks, a transverse slot formed within a top surface of the monolithic structure and configured to receive the first pin, and an elongated pocket formed inside the monolithic structure that is open to the transverse slot. The anchor may further include a wedge, and a linear actuator disposed inside the pocket and connected to push the wedge into the transverse slot over the first pin.
