I compare the Versastack suitcase, middle, and roller sections against the new Tradestack suitcase, middle, and roller! Who will win this epic showdown?!
I was just in Lowes and the one thing I like about the Versa Stack is the one box with the two slide out drawers. Surprisingly smooth roll-out action. I'm looking for something smaller to go in my car trunk to hold some camping gear. The Versa Stack should fit nicely in the Honda Civic.
Just want to say that I've had 2 of the largest Tradestack rolling boxes outdoors for a year plus in the Northeast and i use them every day and they don't leak and they are still going strong. Never had any issues with the plastic latches like everyone was worried about. I love my versastack and tstak as well and i mix and match my stacks depending on what tools i need. Not as big and heavy and expensive as packout
Thank you @Tool in Hand for this comparison. I bought the Tradestack today and there are a couple of basic functions that are making me consider returning it: 1) the handle on the top unit is really hard to lift and I was never able to extend it fully and 2) the small containers in the top unit are extremely hard to open - Questions, please: is there a trick to lifting the handle or opening the lids on the small containers? Thank you.
My experience with the versa stack is that the clips on the front come off. This has been a problem for others as well- one person suggested using zip ties to keep them attached. I like the adapter idea, but it’s only available when you buy the rolling box or the full stack. Hopefully they consider making it available separately.
The versastack and the Stanley tstack and the dewalt tstack remind me of the husky system I have for locking the boxes together similar to the dewalt toughsystem 1.0 and 2.0 were the tradestack the lock system I like were the release is in the front but the issue with that versastack adapter not good @Tool in Hand
In hind sight, if you have something on that adapter being thrown around enough for it to release, you have bigger problems. I still like the Tradestack.
The price is right for versastack! I have multiple boxes and I love it. That trade stack looks like it is a new cheap COVID-19 product. Definitely buy something that is tried and true like the versastack. TX JMAN ELECTRICIAN
I just bought the trade stack today and as soon as I tried to put the handle down I noticed that the button is hard to push down; didn't get stuck but it's very hard to push down for raising or lowering
I wish the trade stack was out when I bought the versa stack. First day on the job the clip holding the handle to the boxes broke and spilled out all the tools down a flight of stairs. I now use a ratchet strap to hold it all together.
Do you know if the Versastack red containers are the same size as the tradestack containers with lids? I just ordered a drawer unit that I want to use for a bunch of hardware and need containers for it.
Do you think its worth getting the Versa Stack (which seems to be getting harder and harder to find in my local Lowes) or perhaps something more creative like the Ryobi Link stuff? I have the Ridgid rolling boxes which are outstanding but like the versatility of the Versa system. I see the Trade Stack in the stores now but there isnt much or any for add ons.
I tried both and I went with the tstak/versastack because I was able to get drawers. I got the dewalt T stak trolley so I am able to put the drawers in the bottom and the boxes on the top. I found it way more convenient for my use. If tradstack just came out with a bit more stuff I would have gone with it but price point and more varieties goes to the T-stack in my opinion. Btw I found both systems to be very very close in dimensions but I gave tradestack the winner because of how ridged it was.
