Comparison of features and improvements from Ridgid Gen 1 Rolling bottom box to Pro Gear 2.0 XL box with Wheels. Back on the website: www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-25... Large box no wheels $59: www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-22...
Thank you so much for this review! I was in the market for new Ridgid boxes a few weeks ago and saw the same images you had with the mounting brackets. I looked all over but none of the major tool review channels I follow have covered this, despite my comments asking them to do so.
Wow, being able to hang the lighter box on top and flip the bottom box lid is a game changer. I guess a drawer unit will help also in the middle. What would really be amazing is just having the bottom rolling toll box , with a flip-out front access . There is no need to unstack .
This Rigid 2.0 box kit fits my needs. I bought it at the HD this weekend as pricing is great. Was easier to load the bottom box by removing the handle in my SUV. Nice vid!
Does the latching system hold well? Some guy at home Depot said something about it when I was about to buy the system then I put it back to go on RU-vid and research some 😂
Thanks for the review, I found your channel when looking for reviews. The one feature that I hear about, from all manufacturers and users is about being able to open a lid without removing the upper boxes. Why? Anytime I'm on a job site the first thing I do is unstack my boxes. Even if I can open a lid part way it's not worth the hassle of retrieving tool through a small opening. That and with every system the selling feature is the ability to remove the boxes fast and simple. If you are needing to access something in another box the Milwaukee box with drawers has that covered. I do not own their system but if that was something I honestly needed then there it is. Thanks for a great review.
I have a system too. Check out this video, i show how i have my daily setup. Thanks for the comment! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aR4YipfuZX8.html
@@donniestoolthoughts9209 Nice set up brother. I left a comment including the new Craftsman tradestack 22" bag. I highly recommend it, it may or may not fit your needs but it is a very well designed bag, especially for my electrical needs .
Milwaukee has the PACKOUT dolly which isn’t really the same but atleast you get a dolly aswell if needed, would be nice to see if rigid offers larger wheels
Sadly lots of buyers have broken the handle on the Pro 2.0 rolling box, not as durable as the original pro box rolling cart, also I noticed the box thickness is thinner on the 2.0.
I'm attempting to hang these boxes in my garage. The directions aren't very specific though. Can you give any recommendations for screw/bolt size both length and width? I have to say, I was kinda let down they didn't include those with the brackets. Also, that small box mod attaching to the rolling box handle; did you figure out a way to make it work? That was the one thing attracting me to the tough system by DeWalt... That carrier with the boxes separated just looked better all the way around, imo. But with the small box of the Ridgid able to mount on that handle that way, that would really look nice and be efficient. I have only been able to get my hands on two large boxes, the rolling box, and a couple crates (which were 30 dollars each! They give us value boxes then want to rape us for the crates??... Guess we can't have it all. Thanks for the ideas.
How’s the wheels and handle holding up? I’ve seen some reviews saying it breaks easily just trying to see if this is true before I switch completely to this from tough system 2.0
Whys everyone say the latching system opens when you roll over bumps? Im thinking about snagging this system while its on sale but juat dont get how that latch would just open up hitting a bump. Mabe rolling it violently over a dirt road idk are they pretty solid?
Looks like there's some areas where it can brake. Not a real fan of the removable handle , once something becomes removable it ends up having weak points .
True but if it does break you can likely get just a new handle on warranty and continue to use the boxes whereas with all the other brands you would have to send out the entire bottom box if it broke and be out your largest box until they sent you a warranty box
@@donniestoolthoughts9209 I picked one up today and I love it except that the side latches to hold the next box are very loose to click onto the upper box which is a 22in 1.0 box. Maybe I’ll bend them or something.
@@chineseempanada420 yes, all the new boxes fit looser. I haven’t had one disconnect yet. I usually unlock one side then lift and the old boxes come apart. The new boxes want to stay connected on the other side. Check out this video @ 6:22 you’ll see the latches demonstrated. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TchhgYZkgo0.html
It stays in my van without the wheels, I’m using it as storage for equipment(switches , waps, power supplies, transmitters/receivers, hum buckers, hdmi da’s, etc…) in the van. I do like how the lid opens compared to open the gen1 large box. Thx for the comment!
