Thank you from all of us who are trying to be more organized! 👏

Klein ModBox. Conduit Bender, Level placements on the handle. Klein accessories for the side rails. Measurements on lids of boxes up to 18 inches. As well as lifting the lids it’ll stays up. With a lot of coming soon from Kl a ModBox, they’ll continue to get my money.

This is without question, the best video of this type I've ever seen. It will be come a reference for me when showing systems to other users. FANTASTIC work!

I really appreciate your videos. Have the Ridgid 2.0 and am hoping they continue to grow the brand. Love the mom and dad score. They always no best 😂 looking forward to 3D printing my own and seeing what you con up with for the 2.0.

As a worker who only has a car right now and limitied vehicle spacw, and is tired of lugging tools on and off the jobsite, the removavle wheels of rigid seem like the best choice for me. Thank you for this comprehensive review.

Really enjoyed your video! Recently started collecting milwaukee tools. I've purchased two pieces of my packout. The bottom two pieces . Was smiling at the end when ya gave Milwaukee 83pts. Thnx for posting !! 😁👍

EXCELLENT review; thoughtful and obvious time invested in this video. “Keep on Keeping on!” Tim in northern TN

I’ve been waiting for a comparison of them all!

Great comparison video. Thank you for posting.

Klein came out with something pretty good. I think milwaukee is probably the best for it's own brand. I went with Rigid though, the prices for milwaukee/klein are pretty high and I feel rigid offers good enough durability to match. They just need to hurry up with the drawer system.

Great video! As a carpenter I recently bought my first pack out system and went with Rigid. For the money I'm very happy with it. Your videos definitely helped on the decision making. Keep it up!

The thoroughness of your videos is very impressive. Much appreciated!

Husky came to play. People are saying it doesn't have enough boxes, but keep in mind these just came out. I'm really inpressed and for the money i dont know if I could justify modbox or packout. We had rigid at my old job and i despise those boxes. Ours wouldn't stay together.

Jake, I found this after I started my analysis and found you've done the work for me. Thanks!

Very awesome and thorough video! I wish I had found/seen it sooner. I initially went with RIDGID (Gen.I) because I mostly use RIDGID Powertools (and Ryobi too, and now Milwaukee M12 as they have more for automotive mechanics) and the simple functionality and cheaper price (as I had a very limited budget as a recently retired military and still not working in civilian job yet) than Milwaukee Packout. But now Packout has a LOT to offer with their extensive product line and heavy aftermarket mods support, and now I can afford it. I will be making some mods purchases from you for my Packout system. And now you have a new subscriber!

This is one awesome video. Very well done. Maybe for the future: in your score, see if you could add something for tracking different box functionalities (for instance: drawers are a huge plus for bottom of the stack boxes, but sacrifice internal volume).

You earned yourself a new subscriber, great video Jake!!

Really nice videos. You speak well, introduce pauses, smile and narrate well. The pace of the videos are good, good angles, good camera and I liked and appreciate all the reviews, tests, feature descriptions and the test score in the end was a great idea too. You gained a subscriber. On the topic of the storage systems themselves...it always amazes me how the industrial designers/engineers miss obvious things YT reviewers spot immediately. I mean it is just incredible. Even the almighty packout system, clearly a winner in many people's hearts, does idiotic things like lid not opening whilst rear handle is extended and not being able to lock/unlock boxes with other boxes on top. It's as if they noticed these towards the end of their deadlines and had no more time to change it. But all that would be needed is to have focus groups....or even better...have youtubers get prototypes early on, with non disclosure agreement to publish the videos only once the company has finalized the product...let youtubers keep the product in return for feedback.

Extremely thorough, excellent video, thank you!!!

Great video and very informative. Just ordered my packout with the black friday pricing. Already ordered the handle removal kit , to fit it in my truck cant really wait for the manufacture to release sometime in 24, and saw your work top attachment so will check that out on your site as well as some of your other things. I chose the packout because i have seen them in use and think it will work for what i do.

I work security at construction sites. Milwaukee boxes are the #2 most sought after items by people looking to steal, all systems are targeted, the red boxes grow legs at any and all times of day the others when opportunities present themselves. Just an observation for those interested. I can't justify for myself Milwaukees price tag since I dyi, looking for an affordable option, thanx for all the valuable information!@

Great job Jake, best comparison video on the whole web!!!!

Great video thanks!

Very thorough! Thank you! I have the Ridgid system for my photography gear and will continue with it. I do wish there was a way to mount a hook for cables and cords, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. The price point was right and I've only felt a need to pick up the 2.0 in the roller as the tall handle previously prevented me from closing the privacy shade in the cargo area of my SUV. Now I can do that. I'm looking for a cooler to add to the system before they are completely gone and the small organizers will need to be ordered as they've never been stocked locally. I really like the small Husky organizer that I've seen in the store. I did not realize it was in conjunction with this new system. Very nice.

Excellent video, looking forward to more

Price should have a higher rating in the score. The husky buildout is half the price of the Milwaukee. That’s a crazy difference.

Excellent break down, thank you for this.

I have the rigid also, use it for detailing and it's been great over the last year plus I ceramic coated the outside and added a little more rubber gasket for water leaks and it's been leaving it outside in heavy rain or leaving it on the the back of the cargo carrier

Wanted to say that I love your videos and come here to give an update on my Ridgid Pro Gear 2.0 boxes. I have 2 small, 1 medium and 1 large with the wheels. Had the boxes strapped to the bed of my work truck (flat bed crane truck) similar to my coworkers packout. The bottom boxes connecting handle failed when i took a turn and scattered the bozes across a busy road. Thankfully no boxes were ran over and the locking latches didn't fail but all of the boxes are damaged and need to be replaced. Its been a chore to get anyone from the warrenty department on the phone (as of this writing 5 days in) no one has returned voice messages or been able to be reached on the phone. I plan to get my boxes replaced, but will probably go with Toughbuilt moving forward.

I recently bought the old style Husky connect system and added the 2 drawer and cantilever boxes only to have the dolly handle break yesterday. My plan is to upgrade to either the Husky build-out or the Rigid 2.0. Thanks for doing these reviews as it will help make my decision.

Excellent video, very informative, balanced, thorough and most helpful

Very impressive review. Thank you.

Picked up 6 rigid 2.0 drawers today, excited to see what is to come. These drawers were long overdue

Excellent Content ...!!! ... Thank You for sharing ... Cheers :)

I got the Milwaukee for Christmas last year and I love it. It feels more rugged than others I've seen, and, like a lot of their tools, you can tell it was designed by people who work for a living. My only gripe was the non removable handle since I have a tonneau cover on my truck. Technically it is removable by taking out 2 screws at the base of the handle. I found a company who makes a spring-pin to replace those screws (mentioned in this video) and it was a simple & complete solution to that issue.

I went with the rigid and I'm impressed. I dedicated my bottom box to Milwaukee tools. It holds three Milwaukee nail guns. A 15ga trim nailer, 18ga narrow crown stapler/brad nailer and 22 degree framing nailer as well as an angle grinder, orbital sander, charger, two batteries and all the bullets and sanding pads I need for the various tools.

I am a Master HVAC & Master Plumber/ Gas Fitter contractor I have Husky Ridgid & Milwaukee all of them are good Ridgid & Milwaukee are. Step above Husky and Milwaukee is the best but once again all three that I have you can’t go wrong .Very good & informative video .

Great vid. As a Handyman looking to expand on his current husky quick connect... this is incredibly helpful. While it does seem a whole lot like a commercial for Milwaukee as well as your gear (I get it, all good), it was INCREDIBLY informative. I may go husky (build out)... but that removable cart of the rigid REALLY draws me - as I usually leave some boxes in the truck. Although, from the sounds of it, not all of rigid's gear connects to it - sadly... nay... pathetically. A thought... pick ups... they have that 2x4 insert in front and behind the wheel well.... I LOVE that my current quick connect fits between the rear one and the tailgate. NONE of these do. Dare to dream I guess.

I noticed the new craftsman tradestack and I’m impressed with design. I want to get the Milwaukee but I do like craftsman as well.

Fantastic video. Thanks for showing the variety of features. Have you looked at the Craftsman brand? I just ran across them when looking at making a solar powered portable generator at Lowe’s.

I’m a Dj and I have 2 Milwaukee packout box’s with all my gear lots of power wires XLRs RCAs you name it alot of light clamps few tools and let me tell you at the end of every event we throw the thing around from the stage n have never had issues I love mine a lot

great video!

Just bought the Hart one. Going into it, I knew it wasn't going to be as good as the others, but I wasn't using it for tools, and I had plans of modifying the inside of the cases. $74 for the 3 stack was perfect. The one thing that would have been nice, is if the cart was separate from the boxes.

Personally, i decided packout for all my expensive tools, while using rigid for hand tools and parts organization. Rigid's platform and affordability allows me to organize even the small things like pex parts, wire nuts, etc. Overall great video, keep up the great work!!! ✌️

I agree with your final results.

Started with the packout 2 years ago, no regrets at all. Extremely rugged and versatile system. Worth the extra money.

I just got the husky plus crate and deep organizer with 2 hooks. Would love to see you come out with a husky line of accessories for us.

I bought the Husky build out 2 weeks ago, and was very happy with it initially. After ordering additional items to expand the system from Home Depot and finding out they aren’t available and HD cancelling my order. I returned the system and bought the Milwaukee packout. Yes it’s more money but I was able to get what I needed.

Have the Ridgid and pretty happy with it

What about the budget option, the Husky Connect! Yes, these are a step down in quality, a bit smaller, but AWESOME! I love the see-through top box lid and the best part is the bottom rolling box has no lid! A lid on the bottom box of stackable tool boxes just gets in the way. I love when I lift one of my middle boxes off the bottom.. BOOM! Just grab one of my power tools, no messing with a needless lid. Also the double drawer box is great as well. I'm a tile setter by trade and have been using this set-up for two years now with no problems. Anyway, great comparison video!

Good job

I love the mom score and dad score!

Ridgid is my preferred kit. Not just the price, but the sure lock alignment, in addition to the metal clasps that lock the stack together.

Been building my Packout since it came out. I have about 15 of the older parts boxes before Packout. Can't find them anymore/ I put an adapter on a couple so they would attach to the Packout. Milwaukee makes the best. I like Klein for electrical tools and have a couple of old RIdgid multi tools before Milwaukee made theirs. I have also bought a few mods for the Packout. I'll be checking out yours Jake.

After numerous vids I finally jumped into Milwaukee… I wanted to like Husky for the colors alone, but not having the half stacking feature was a deal breaker.

Great presentation on the boxes. I would have actually liked to see all the boxes on one video so thank you but also thank you. Now I actually have to check out your website too to see what other accessories you have for the Milwaukee packout the one thing you did not mention on any of the box systems under security the biggest problem that I see is theft and easy access to getting my property out of the boxes. A lot of people don't pick up on it, but it's the hinge systems itself. You can actually pop the hinges out and still retrieve anything inside of any box from the hinge side. I've spoken the Milwaukee. I've spoken reps. I've spoken to other big influencers when it comes to these videos on the packout system only, but as I've seen through your video with the other boxes they will have the same issues of theft. On the hand side, you can pop the hinge out and open it from the side of the hinge. Take it easy

For the money, I'd probably go with Ridgid. BUT, 99% of my workplace is Milwaukee, including tools, batteries, chargers, AND packouts. So I would be a fool to not keep with Milwaukee since my shift is open with each others equipment. But great video, very informative and a joy to watch. Can't wait to watch your mod videos since I have a 3d printer and always looking for things to print.

I bought the Rigid over 10 years ago. Used them almost dailey, in and out of jobs . They still 👍 great. They just need the drawer units , and maybe a flip out bottom roller. I will also mention I have the first gen and second gen rolling box. I actually like the older one because I can lift it with both hands to put in truck, the handle goes down further.

Love my packout!

Toughbuilt has similar products that would be nice to see how they compare. Liked the video.

It isn't easy to control a point total for the specific brands' entire universe of boxes and accessories. Packout is CRUSHING everyone right now and there seems to be no end in sight. There are some things I like better with the Ridgid system but they don't have enough options out. If you only need the 3-box stack then maybe you can have a legit comparison but I'm not even in the trades and I use many of the pack-out options. One of the most important pieces pack out has that allow for a majority of my uses is the mounting plates. It's too bad Ridgid did not come up with a flat (non-wall hanging) mounting plate option.

Ive got the original ridgid system. But I do electric so I really want that new Klein modbox. For what i do its head and shoulders abover the others.

Can't wait for this to be revisited after the drawers come out for ridgid

Dude I have a fastback everywhere too! They’re the best!!!

Like so many others, I have discovered that the tool you need is always in the bottom box. I’m getting really tired of taking apart a stack just to get that tool out. I’m trying to find a system with decent drawers (or build my own) that can travel as easily as these, and has a drawer retention mechanism that doesn’t interfere with other drawers. In other words, the drawers stay in place until you unlock them and whatever locking mechanism doesn’t just flop down over the drawer unit below. I’m thinking the Milwaukee drawers might be the answer, paired with the dolly. Durability and accessories also play a role. If you could do a review of the systems with drawers, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for doing all these videos. And your product designs are awesome! That also figures into my decision to be honest. If the system doesn’t have Weihe Design mod options, it gets a lower score. ;)

For me Personally, the husky set performs great at a fraction of the cost

Bottom box Ridgid drawers will be game changing.

I’ve been looking for a stackable system for a while now and after watching all your videos and everyone else’s reviews. I was on the fence between the Milwaukee and the Flex and I ended up buying the flex stack pack. Seems to be better quality built than Milwaukee and I really like the gas assisted struts. Plus I like that all of the attachments and accessories are made by flex instead of third party companies

I’ve been using the ridgid system for over 10 years. Bought a set of the 2.0 and the small organizers…. This week I’ve bought 4 sets of packout drawers. Ridgid definitely for the price, but if you need variety, it’s packout. You’re impressed by the husky, but they charge too often and probably won’t be available in a couple years. Buy once, cry once. Thx for the video!

I decided on Packout some time ago, and I've managed to build out a decent collection at about 1/2 the current list price, thanks to sales and other deals. Perhaps the same discounts are available with other brands, but if you can figure out what you want and then buy it only when the prices are lower (and aren't in a hurry) Packout isn't as expensive as it seems at first. And I've never been disappointed in those boxes.

I had someone else help load some tools in the back of my pickup truck one time. Turns out the top box wasn’t latched down, so I took a turn and saw the top box go flying across the road. It ended up with a few scratches on the outside and a small gouge where the corner first hit the road. I was very impressed with the durability!

You should make a magnet system for the Milwaukee lid so it stays open when the rolling handle is raised.

I want the PackOut but "settled" for Rigid. I love Packout and the products give me the fizz, however as I'm just a professional homeowner and not a contractor nor bluecollar, there is 0 justification for that price-point for just the fact that it is "nice." I'm happy with my Rigid collection though.

Probably going to put those roller dolly wheels on a buildout and maybe mount some rails on the front

Dang, and I have the Gen 1 husky pack out set lol I’d rather 3D print exterior attachments for it but would’ve loved gen 2 being able to stick together with it

What I'd love to see (and nobody has done) is open up the case to examine the locking mechanisms. How much is plastic? How replaceable are the springs? It's great that the contents of the box are protected against moisture, but are the mechanisms? For those of us who work/live in coastal areas, having the mechanism rust and fail would be a decision point.

Probably Milwaukee because of how many things are available for it. I like that it has the fattest tires. But being an electrician i also really like Kleins thought on bender/broom storage.

As someone with a 3D Printer that also does 3D design; I feel like the Packout system would be the one I would enjoy using/customizing the most.

Would b cool if there were ways to buy a few different brands pcs & have them work together so ppl's specific needs could b met without buying whole new set ups but I suppose that's a pipe dream😂. Great review

Just grabbed the Milwaukee Packout. They have the 3 box system for $219 right now at Home Depot. Good way to start your system. Thanks for the video. I checked out all of the ones offered at Home Depot. Kept going to the Packout. Can't beat the whole system they have going right now. Endless possibilities.

I went with rigid 2.0 system. I got all three pieces individually for $141 plus tax versus the PACKOUT for $219 plus tax

I wish other reviews were as complete and honest about the products as this one. It seems lately, most 'reviews' are actually just salesman's demonstrations like you used to see in the middle of the night on those shopping channels. Guys like Billy Mays going 'It slices, it dices!' is the vibe nowadays on 95% of the reviews on YT. They are not honest reviews, just a low quality sales pitch with Amazon links in the description. That's why I bought the worst mouse I've ever owned, the MX Master 3. For years, no one had an honest review of it and they led me astray. Thank you for being a good example to those sales-reviewer shills! Because Amazon links are fine, as long as you give an honest review.

I haven't really thought about or looked into but i wouldn't be surprised if the holes on the side of the rigid box would work to attach peg board.

I used Dewalt rigid and Milwaukee and I have a trailer. Sometimes I would forget to strap stuff down and the boxes would fall over Milwaukee was the only one that would not break at latches and stay together as far as durability. I have to support Milwaukee pack out, and I am not brand loyal.

Totally torn between packout and ridgid 2.0. The compactness of Milwaukee and center attachment style might be the decider for me

Good video but rating Husky as second makes everything suspect lol

Husky stuff , not just the box ,is actually very good for its price , i have use all brands , im not a Milwaukee fan boy , and husky hasn’t disappoint, people often overlook it for the low price .

It would have been nice if Milwaukee would have made room for the original organizer box on the pack out system. I have bought so many and without convenience now. Owell.

Great video! with all the aftermarket mods these days does it really matter what system you go with? Basically buy what items you like and make adapters to fit them together. that would make good video content.

these are like mature legos sets, looks fun for art supplies even

I bought the ridged . I’ve been. Using for 3 months and they are tough for the price

The fact that you have to mod the Packout to take the handle off is a killer for me.

I got the original husky stackable 3 piece set for 89 buck and I like it

I use the milwaukee system. Forgot to strap it on the flat bed and the entire system full of tools (VERY heavy) was going about 35 when it left the truck. Some road rash and one box lock that locks them together broke. But all tools stayed in the boxes and the bottom cleats of the box with the broken lock are all still functioning as new. Wish the system was cheaper but ill never switch. A friend has a similar system by heart and it doesnt even come close. Broke his just by setting it down.

I run packout. The availability locally was a big factor, and the 4 caster roller was perfect. I do maintenatenance for automotive facilities. 2 drawer on Bottom, then 3 drawer, midsize waterproof box, midsize fastener bin. I wish they offered side mount options. Im also concerned with the sagging of the drawers after only a few months. Hot weather may take a massive impact. We'll see.

I would love to see someone include the Bosch L-boxx system in their comparison videos! Bosch has been making boxes well over 12 years now

I can’t believe that ridged is the only one that has made the drawers that can be attached to the wheels with handle. I don’t want to have to unstack my boxes anytime I want to get into my bottom box.

The Milwaukee screams "STEAL ME!!"

Time to do a comparison with toughbuilt

I'm just a DIY'er but use the Milwaukee packout system. It seems to be a lot better made than the other systems I looked at.
