I'm A Plumber, plan on doing the set up like you have , 2 big drawers on bottom and 3 or 4 drawer on top , for hand tools , I got the 1.0 box's , but the drawer's I believe will make life so much easier and detachable wheels cart to switch things up with another box's depending what I'm working on
I’ve had the pack out boxes before. Drawers are so much more convenient. I can quickly get to something at any time. The detachable carriage is very nice to have as well. Enjoy!
Thank you for doing this update video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to buy rigid drawers, Flex drawers or Klein. This has been a big help and I love that you showed the drag. I currently have packout drawers and I've talked to other people and all the packout drawers seem to drag basically empty. These look amazing compared to the packout drawers I've seen.
Man great update. I remember now watching a few months ago the video of you making the wood top and the side case. I’ve got some things on my set after 2 months of use. I’ll need to make a video as well. Glad to see the update on yours since you remove them everyday whereas mine stay in my trailer. My hand truck attachment is still brand new. I searched high and low for extra drawer dividers and now I would not buy more of them lol. They don’t stay secure bouncing around at 80+ around Houston. Drawers so drag as well on mine. I try to keep the heavier items around the edge like in the fasteners drawer. These are by no means comparable to Milwaukee Packouts or StackTech but it was the right price. I’ve also had the older Ridgid cases from 10 years ago so the compatibility is nice. Now two variations that I think they are missing is the 3 equal drawers and the single large drawer. The 3 equal drawers are actually more useful for power tools like drills and impacts. The single for saws etc.. overall I’m happy. I have 1 - 4 drawer, 2 - 3 drawers, and 2 - 2 drawers. May add a second 2 drawer that I’ll modify to be a single drawer. Suggestion on the latches. You can use zip ties to either wrap around the handle, or around the plastic loop to give it more bite and tension on the spring steel things. Hope that makes sense. I had to do that to my Gen 1 boxes since they changed the profile of the plastic latching hooks. Appreciate the update and your time to making the video.
I get what you mean about the zip ties on the latches. I may try that sometime. It’s not a concern at this time as they don’t come apart though. But I’ll still try it.
Just got my drawers today finally! If the latch connection wears down over time it could possibly be "fixed" by taping around the metal bar a few times with electrical tape or similar to thicken the circumference and tighten the connection.
Do you know if that 4 drawer will fit on the first system? I have wrenches in one short box, ratchets and sockets in another box... The drawers would be an improvement for me.
I really don’t know. We can only hope as the original isn’t available any more, they are pretty slow on rolling stuff out in that line. I’m guessing they will but when they do it, is anybody’s guess
From what I understand is they are compatible but there may be some subtle differences in depth or footprint. Probably best to take one of your boxes into the store and see how they work together.
