I agree with 100% of the points made in this video. Flex boxes are FINE, they will protect stuff inside them, they just aren't as good as others.

FWIW in about 2018 I started buying a GEN one rigid boxes, they are a little beat up, but I have not had to retire any of them. I love that Jin two boxes are compatible, I just bought the three drawer system to add to my stack as it is much easier to get stuff in and out when you are not having to tilt all of your higher boxes to reach into a mid/lower box.

I’m glad Ridgid didn’t try to make this a pack out/ flex competitor. I also like how they kept the same recipe from the gen 1 with a few tweaks to justify making a gen 2. Longer cart handle is what I really wanted from my gen 1 which they addressed here. If you want a simple, no frills cart that’s able to move your tools from truck to job site and around, this is the set up for you.

Yesterday at HD I got the cart box for $79.00, The medium box for $39.00 and two of the top boxes for $29.00 ea. After inspecting them compared to Milwaukee that I wanted (most tools inside are milwaukee) I just could not pass up paying half the price. After organizing the total rack weighs over 200 lbs and has no problem moving it, I have to break it down to lift it. Boxes are bigger and hold a lot of gear and I still have room in the larger boxes. Didn't realize the dolly came off so that's a bonus.

Rigid will hit a home run if they come up with drawers with the capability to get the wheels/ handle on it....

Thanks man, I think that bottom roller was the game changer for Ridgid. I love it,

I held the $35 see through organizer yesterday. It’s a lot for $35 compared to competition. The included wall mounts are killer.

Just found your channel yesterday. Man, you do some very thorough reviews, exactly the way I'd want to do them if I had the time and patience. Very helpful, thank you.

I think you're missing something. The $24.97 organizer IS the half-size box you mention later. That's why it has the metal bar across the front - it's designed to face the side. There is no full-size organizer for 2.0. Hence, this kit will price out just a tad higher because you're paying for two boxes on that fourth layer.

Super helpful demo, thanks for posting this :-)

Hey man, if you made (or if a rigid did in the future) an adapter kit to make the toolbox style rigid vacuum into a compatible stackable unit that would be amazing! Especially if stuff can stack on top of it as well! I would use the heck out of that. An attachment for a compound trim miter saw would be awesome as well; that said, I use makita 18v & 36v platform so I would want one for the small 36v makita saw. But super seriously: • attachment to turn the cart part into a dolly (especially if it can be left on even when the pro gear boxes are attached) • Rigid tool box vacuum conversion kit (able to integrate mid stack) • trim saw base conversion kit • also a kit (or maybe just an XL box that could fit an air compressor) …those would be awesome! …or “that would be fire! Slay!” as my kids would say. lol.

Ridgid has a new vacuum. 3 gallon, and it has an adapter to connect it on top of the pro gear boxes. So you could have a small box with the shop vac "var detailing hose & tips" directly underneath the vacuum. And its pretty cheap at $120 right now.

Love your videos! I'm on the fence whether to buy the pack out or the rigid. I do like the price of the Ridgid obviously. I'm just wondering, have they discontinued the crate? I haven't been able to find them anywhere for weeks now. The other thing that would be nice if they came out with a 2.0 full size organizer to replace the first gen. It would be nice to be able to lock the 1/2 boxes on top of the organizer as well. Thanks!

Awesomeness 🔥. Thanks for helping my decision. D.I.Y and Handyman, seems like a lot of good bang for the buck.

I have had my 2.0 system for months and it is way underated. The boxes are basic and that is what I like about them. Nothing goes wrong with them. I have had several problems with the smaller organizers with the clear tops that attach to the top and they do seem to crack and break easily.

I got the whole 3 PC kit for $140 on sale in June. I'm working out of someone else's truck, so I haven't put the system through its paces. I have seen a number of people complaining about handle breakage and pro gear being manufactured by a 3rd party making the lifetime warranty a pain in the ass.

$20 for the 22” small box is the absolute best budget price - can not be beat for quality to expense ratio

Good review. I'm a DeWalt guy but this setup is $100 cheaper. I just need to move my tools from site to site. Drawers would be the next thing I hope Ridgid comes out with.

Good job I recently bought the base box with the wheels and it had two prices on the display and a sales price on a brochure attached to the base. So HD sold it for the 69.99 price tag. 20 dollars off is a bargain lol. So last week I bought the small box for 39.99 and I was debating between the small and medium sized box. Well I chose the smaller box for my Dewalt batteries and charger and skil 10 pc. hammer drill bits, sds drill bits and other smalls for the small organizer. I’m excited about this new box because of fact you can take the wheel carrier off. I might add the xl box or the medium box but right now this works perfectly fine.

I just picked up what you have for 124 out the door I love it top case has been ordered

I bought the Ridgid 2.0 25 inch box because it is the only one that will fit under the bed cover on my truck.

Ive got the rigid 1.0. Here are the pros: - cheap but extremely durable - i can stand on it - replaces my ladder and sturdy 2 step for most jobs - secure when stacked I pair the rigid with the Tanos system and don't think this combo can be beat!

I think I’m going with this set if I ever buy one.

I have the 1.0 Ridgid boxes plus organizers. I'm thinking maybe I should get the 2.0 as well. I also have the Milwaukee packout plus organizers and drawers.

I use ridgid for now because I got the gen1 roller box, organizer, and crate for 109 bucks in clearance. It’s getting the job done for me at the moment but I’ll be switching to Milwaukee eventually

Love the special handle on these boxes

Region does drawers, as well as make that removable handle actually a dolly that would be fantastic! That way you wouldn’t have to carry an extra dolly with you for things like materials boxes

If Rigid has the drawer system like packout or DeWalt drawers like their tack would sell me plus if they were smart adapt to hold Milwaukee and Dewalt boxes too.

i wonder if that wall mount system would hold up on a trailer.

Hmmm, I like the wheels being completely outside the box walls. I'd like bigger wheels to make it easier to roll the thing up and down stairs and this might allow that modification.

It would have been nice if they would have added an adapter so you can connect the first system with this second system, like the Craftsman tradesmen. But I sure like the way the handle disconnects from the box

Thank you for the details!

Those handle mods would be great.

You should make Pro Gear 2.0 wall mounts as it seems Rigid does not sell them. I'm in for three sets

high quality video and review thank you!

Do the metal latches on the side move around or rattle when they're not in use? I could see that being annoying or possibly getting caught on something. Looks like a great alternative to packout for it's price though!

I really need dividers in the large and medium boxes, especially in the large box for detailing chemical bottles.

Good video. I tried contacting you through your website about a part but haven't heard back. My question is: do you make/sell Ridgid box wall mounts? Would these be different for Gen 1 & 2? Are there also different sizes? Thanks for your help. I'm invested in Ridgid, but tempted by Dewalt's Tough System because of the wall mount racking system and the DS carrier which seems to be capable of all purpose use (my local Home Depot barely has any DW in store so can't check it out in person.)

Weird question. If I get a large box and then two medium boxes (instead of a medium and small), will that stack together and work?

Sold. Buying one tomorrow!

Many complaints about broken handles only rated for 100lbs

Looking for inner dividers, do you know where I can get any?

Richard… We are still waiting for your drawer system to come out when is it due to release in Canada?

the Rigid 2.0 does not come with a tray to put tools in, however they do have littel ridges I believe are made for a tray, do you know where I can get this tray, Thank You, Robert

Do you happen to make the wall mounts (or can you..) for the Rigid Pro Gear? (They seem to be a bit of a bugger to buy..)

The 2.0 version feels of cheaper quality to me; walls appear thinner. I really like the wall mounts and lock, however

I am interested in the "Rigid Handler Accessories"

Great value.. but I have a entire job site trailer outfitted with packout… and I could pick apart these boxes and show many reasons why they just wouldn’t work for me. I have $3000 into packout. And it’s gross. But… they have features and modularity that no other brand has. It is nice to see so many other brands in the space. This will only cause every brand to get creative and create more Great products and hopefully cause a bit of competition with pricing

New Ridgid multi-drawer tool box coming soon. Check this out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZmiqZBlyLKsgok.html

Hi Jake, do you know or have any suggestions on how to lock these types of boxes down in back of a Van or Pickup?

That 2.0 organizer you show is cheaper because it IS the half organizer

Very thorough vidoe

Ive been reading a lot of reviews that say the handle on the cart is prone to breaking- anyone had any issues?

Do they make a base plate for mounting inside a truck bed or other moving vehicle or ? and does Gen 1 connect to the Gen 2 models? Thanks

I have been trying to find something to do with the removable side locking bar that locks all the boxes together. I have yet to be able to find it yet. My boxes did not come with it and I have not been able to figure out where to get it. Does anybody know?

You need to update the review, the 2.0 Pro rolling box handle has many issues with breaking, the orginal pro box didn't have an breaking issue.

Do you know the internal dimensions of the large unit?

Can you stack old boxes on top of new one?

So are they backwards compatible? I have 1.0 stuff but wouldn't mind some of the new 2.0 stuff

I'm guessing by the price & the picture that the organizers are half-size.

Why i cant'n find it any where in europe? Any help?

Going back and forth... rigid 2.0 or husky rollout

Interested in ridgid parts for packout

Can they be mixed 1.0 and 2.0?

yes i would like to see that video

Where are the draws promises for December 2023

What are the compatible handler accessories?

Anyone know how much weight these boxes can hold when hanging on a wall?

Still not available in Canada smh

Do you make replacement heavy duty handle?

Anyone have long term experience with it being used yet? How does the handle and wheels hold up? I saw some reviews that they break easily and want to know if it’s true before I buy some

Can Gen 2.0 tool boxes fit on Gen 1 tool boxes?

Ridgid accessories you can find no where! I just finished blasting ridgid for this. I contacted the company directly.

Perfect

What’s the diameter on the lock hole?

Yeah but milwaukee packout much stronger, locks in better just better storage, I'd rather keep buying my milwaukee, I just bout this set up at home depo for the black Friday sale, when they are locked in they are sloppy and bounce around my milwaukee doesn't and it's solid locked

I feel like a dumbass for buying the first gen rolling base now. I didn't realise there was a second version with a wide handle

Prices went up ..

I couldn’t hear Lost sound

What's the special handle?

You do realize that Rigid name is licensed by the same parent company as Milwaukee, right? Techtronic industries. Rigid is owned by Emerson. So the design patents are aligned.

The base is no longer made

They still missed the mark!! You need to take them apart, but when you reconnect them in the customers house , they should be designed to be able to access tool while stacked . Explaine what's the point if you have to unstack them in a customers home to get to the tools?? . You get it !!??🥸🤓🤥. I just ordered a smaller DNA rolling modular tool box that can be stacked and and you can get to all your tools (don't know durability). I'd think a designer would know about this defect in the product by now. Going in and out of homes and apartments, once you stack them together, you should still be able to access all tools, and roll where you need the setup, repeat, next room , next stair landing ,, 😉
