The fact they responded this quicky and are addressing it as soon as possible shows theyre committed and actually are listening. I dont own any box solution and Im neckdeep in Makita XGT but their Makpack boxes SUCK. Ill wait for the updated rollout, and go Toughbuilt.

Toughbuilt is going to be huge soon there products so far are fantastic!

The biggest factor is that ToughBuilt is listening and making changes for the people

There's probably some young engineer, fresh out of college saying "I tried to warn them but my stupid boss won't listen to me."

I've got the packout with the best damn radio out there. Toughbuilt still had some work to do. Milwaukee all the way baby!

The fact that they listen and put forth changes says a lot! I have many TB products, love them all, I also have a lot of Milwaukee power tools so I went straight to the Packout for this setup, I didn’t realize TB made their own version wish I did, would’ve picked that first. TB is awesome definitely keeping my eyes out on them more.

I can’t believe they didn’t test that. One thing is nice that you can mount them either direction. They aren’t directional like Packout.

The 2, 3, and 4 drawer packouts are perfection for my needs.. I use them for lots of stuff outside of just work tools

As a guy who owns probably 1-2k in Packout plus another 4 or so in Milwaukee tools, I have to say, toughbuilt has some of the BEST designed and fair priced tool items in the business. Their 16” tote was what got me started. I still use their journeyman electrician bag as a metering bag and I’m blown away how well their stuff works for the price. If I wasn’t in Packout so heavy I would look into toughbuilt.

I love every tiughbuilt product I have purchased.

Honestly all of the rolling tool box systems are good

Awesome insights, thank you!!

They do look better. The side rail is nice too. Good to see tough built getting into this realm because their other stuff is great. Unfortunately i just dripped money on packout so i wont be getting any of these but theyre nice

En cuanto a rapidez para abrir una caja es más rápido que Packout, al igual para cerrarlas, me encanta Stacktech ❤

The biggest flaw is that you can't open a box that has something on top of it. Not even a toolbox with an organizer on top. This greatly effects storage capabilities.

Ive just bought a bunch of milwaukee gear. Only what I needed. New line and hedge trimmer, car vacuum, etc...

Bought some husky packout stuff...its pretty cool. Not a master tradesman or tool guru but they do the job 👍

Thank you! 😎👍🏼

Finally a company who responds fast to their customers on what they want

The rigid corners of the tough build the aesthetics I think it’s way better than pack out

Thems stacks like milk crates, I think I’m gonna get some milk crates!

TOUGHBUILT STACKTECH connecting mechanism… problem solved? The new stack tech boxes connect faster and arguably easier than Packout boxes. But they currently have ONE BIG flaw- a full size box can’t attach to the top of two half boxes! I just got word from someone at toughbuilt that the design team has listened to the community and will be releasing a solution to adapt your current half boxes and next summer the half boxes will have a different lid design. I’m happy to hear how fast toughbuilt is listening and adapting to what the consumers want! What do you think?

Milwaukee ❤

That was a serious oversight.

no way that these are as strong as the Milwaukee box's and certainly the connection is as strong. But I'm all for more Competition in the long run!! 👍

TB is american made. i’ve swapped. they have there head on right now im supporting

They can remove those tapered edges on both sides of the half boxes and don’t need any adapter plate. Since the stacktech is only gets clicked into the groves by the front and back of the box and not the sides.

In the future, I hope Milwaukee makes the packout drawers weatherproof. Dewalt has a weatherproof version. Idk about any other brands.

Another reason for me to switch over is how quickly they’ve responded to that flaw .

The toughbuilt looks so cool and i really want to go with that But im a milwaukee glazer so i cant

Sweet

Why would you not just put the half boxes on the top? I always do with packout anyway

All they need is a drawer roller box and they'll have milwaukee running

People working in the rain… nice they even gave me a bucket for a lid

Great video

I’ll just stick with Packout. Too invested to even care about trying something else at this point lol

What about the lockable sliding doors? Are they going to look into that too

I'm waiting for a comparison of drawer models before I jump into whatever ecosystem.

IMO half boxes should be on top anyway. What if you have a half box and the open tote? Can’t stack on top of that anyway. Or just a single half box? Still can’t stack over it. This seems like a petty complaint

The big flaw is that almost all manufacturers have not made them so you can work out of them 😂. You still have closed boxes stacked together with tools inside. You have to unstack all of them and set up your tools somewhere else. Hello , get it? The Rigid ones I've used for 10+ years are easy to stack, and then I just use a portable Toughbuilt table to set up my tools. If another company designs them to work out of, I may consider them and sell my Rigid boxes. I have the 1st gen Rigid. I like the rolling box better without the disconnect feature..

Any update on the adapter plate?

I hope they will redesign their 1/2 organizers. The latch is weak and easy to accidentally unlock. And the handle should not extend beyond the existing stack form. Because when the stack tips and falls over that handle will take the full weight of the fall and be destroyed and the contents of that case will be all over because they picked a easy open latch and not a rugged to handle falls and abuse without opening. They are off to a good start but they need to tweak a few things to be on par with the red barron.

When you’re at the top, everyone’s always gunning for you. I’ll just stick with Milwaukee.

How tf that got through the final phase is beyond me. No different than Milwaukee dropping the ball on the rolling box handle.

For me it’s the handles not being able to open if it’s stacked

I'm sticking with the husky Build out

The red bothers me a lot so no brainer decision for me

Ill still buy them shit the mikwaukee crate wont allow you to stack the ammo boxes on top they dont click.correctly and will fall off if you put them on top so every1 makes a booboo even the great TTI "chinese company" who owns milwaukee lol

Convenient they will make more money sellimg adapter . But those tool boxes are cool

I wouldn’t say that’s a flaw

How much and how good? Dont know them😅

If it ain’t packout I ain’t buying it

Videos of stack tech getting stuck the latches and the box not renewable to come out

I have a large husky tote with wheels on it i toss my tools in to transfer before scattering them all over the place.

Milwaukee got it right with these modular storage solution right out the gate, but this is dewalts third try and they still don’t got it right lmao

Orr Orr you can put the split boxes on the top and there you go

Mwk❤

Yeah thanks, I’ll stick to my pack out 😮

When you see version 2.0 3.0 4.0 its a reminder that the engineers screwed up and had to start over 😂😂

Feel like all these modular box manufacturers just rushing out designs with afterthoughts. Who the hell sign these engineers design.

That doesn’t bother me at all!

The Lid of the toughbuilt seems Like a one up I kind of don’t like the Ridgid Box’s Convex lid. I feel like having a Concave lid, you could throw your pencils and squares and shit on it like a lunch tray and go up a flight of stairs no problem

It still will never be better than Milwaukee packouts

Con tal y sean más baratos que milwaukee

I just returned over $1000:00 of stack tech just for that flaw. It just doesn’t work for me. I think stack tech is better than packout but no with that problem. I’ll wait until next year. Thank you for update.

Wow tough built have the best pouch clip system ! I hope they destroy milwaukee's monopoly on tool boxes too

how many boxes do you really want to stack. i m having three, with full load, its heavy as fuck, i doubt the back handles will hold that much.

Milwaukee has too much that works specifically with their tools/batteries. I could see someday dabbling a little in stacktech or the flex system, but my main boxes will remain red. I'm honestly surprised there is so much hype for any of these other systems as Milwaukee has far more to choose from, especially when the competition doesn't have any real diversity to begin with. That being said, I guess getting toolboxes for half the price could be a factor... 😂

I’m not sure how you commit on oversight on a product attempting to compete with an existing product that already considered and solved said oversight.

That is a pretty important flaw. Glad they are addressing it. I want out of my packout, too expensive to continue with it, because want to much of it. I want to get like 10 rolling bases and 40 drawer boxes to use for all of my shop storage. That way I can organize almost all my tools and my hardware. I got a lot of hardware and love to have it perfectly organized. I often have to grab and go, so that is why I want to do this. But the cost is a bit prohibitive

I'm deep into packout and really like toughbuilt products but these new toolboxes are a bit too close to the mark but too far off for me to consider. No disrespect to toughbuilt though, I'm sure if they will be extremely comparable if they can iron out the issues fast. Toughbuilt makes extremely nice products in my experience, I think they are going to be a big seller soon. I love my 1000lbs capacity tables so much that I own multiple of them

Just put them on top, problem solved. I believe the way they designed the system was to have the smaller units on top.

For 4$ more I think I’ll go with Milwaukee

Two boxes should always be on the top anyway so this shouldn't be an issue.

They should have 3-4 drawers.

Take my money

Ya ever seen that episode of south park where theyre telling butters simpsons did it 😢 well it goes good for this, milwaukee did it, milwaukee did it, milwaukee did it 😅

I still haven't seen a single toughness test and every review on here the toughy boxes are completely un-used. The same price as packout, only available at Lowes, numerous design flaws.

Don't have packout stuff but if they're making an adapter it's just another way to get you to spend more money why an adapter? I get it's easier to create an adapter but would be much more convinient for consumers to just get the box design changed instead of coming back to a supplier 3 times to buy an adaptor plate

Not to mention the fact that once you have another box on top, you can’t open the lower box.

The biggest design flaw is that NONE of the brands make an option with the drawers on the bottom.

Oh boy, another dongle I can loose

I'm buying deep into this ecosystem before they figure out they could charge more when they get more notoriety

Should just stack on, having a plate is just a extra piece that sbouldnt be needed

I'm loyal going on 15 years

Something to charge more money for

That’s dumb how did you release with that basic flaw. I get it but that’s modular system 101. Cutting corners to meet deadlines. Must of sucked for that one person pushing for the fix. Been there.

No one is like packout. Absolutely the best system . All the others are only a worst imitation or have some limitation or failure. Packout no issues with it

So now they r going to make u spend more money to buy an adapter plate bc of an issue they created

Simply dont stack your half boxes under whole boxes. Problem solved.

Often imitated never duplicated! Milwaukee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I could have found all these issues and more had i been invited to the focus groups. Anyone who's baled hay knows the value and benefit of being *able to* 'tie off' the top of the stack with a single bale.

I'm actually very surprised at this oversight. Someone at the design team is losing their shit. I handled them in Lowes and I like them but wouldn't buy. The internal locking mechanisms seem much more vulnerable to sawdust, snow, rain, mud, etc, than my packouts and ridgids. I've had my packouts and ridgids freeze together and had no issue forcing them apart knowing the packouts only have one locking point that I had full control over and the ridgids basic external locking points are completely exposed. I wouldn't risk forcing these with the one switch controling both locking feet. Seems like a failure point if it gets too cold or if any debris gets in the wrong spot.

You have to buy a plate to fix their fubar

I was about to buy all their boxes but with the half box issue i decided to pass, I'll wait until next year. Also they should of made the handle wider and sturdier like the Milwaukee and Flex. Some of the plastic should of been metal, like on the bottom for the handle release, the lock/unlock lever, and maybe even the latch. They made the plastic look "metal like" with whatever paint or additive to the plastic. I'm a contractor and was looking for a mobile solution for my van, think I'll go with Milwaukee Packout, Flex Stack Pack, and even the Klein Modbox for now until the things with Toughbuilt get fixed. This is just my opinion but i think the corner mounting tracks should of been aluminum or something other than steel, seems like a rust point to me once it gets all scratched. The inside of the boxes could of been about an inch wider too. I am glad to see Toughbuilt is listening and is acting quickly to make changes.

You would think thats a basic thing to test before pushing it out to the public.

It's definitely better than pack out, I HATE packouts connection system

Too bad TB is such. Bad investment money wise with stocks. I love their tools

Adapter plate haha why don’t you just make it right to begin with

Why are people so obsessed with portable shelving?
