Ridgid Pro gear systen 2.0 

Excellent review from someone willing to take there time and think of the majority of things that need to be covered. I don't care how perfectly you recall, how fast you communicate, but I do care that someone is willing to take the time necessary to cover everything the consumer would care about. I think for the most part you achieved this so thank you. God bless.

Nice overview thanks Matt!

Great review from someone who actually uses the product!

thanks for the vid, helped me decide to go get the set of this, i'm so happy I found your video. was looking for a system to organize my tools and your review is very detailed with the improvements and comparison to other brands. also this could make some nice hard boxes to protect expensive radio equipment in transportation, just add some foam or cushion material. 73 from KD2OVM

That’s great that there compatible with previous generation. That’s a big deal to encourage new converts to go with Ridgid.

Nice vid. I just bought the 2.0 set a couple weeks ago, bought the 3 pieces $140. Compared to Dewalt at $200. and Milwaukee at over $300. I’m very impressed with the quality of boxes. Again thanks for the comparison.

I broke the wheel on the 1.0 version about 6 months into owning the system about 7 years ago. I needed it to be functional immediately but HD doesn't sell replacements. I bought a lawn mower wheel that doesn't quite fit the axel diameter. Shoved it through and NEVER thought about it again. I still use the box every day.

As others have stated, an excellent review. Out of all the modular systems in HD and Lowes, the Rigid 2.0 system seems to offer the best quality for the price. My only qualm is that I wish HD would invest a little more in the accessories. There has been talk of a drawer system coming soon as I write this. Yet I wonder, given the current (Nov 23) issues between Israel and Palestine, if those will be delayed.

Awesome job with the comparison. As little as it may seem at first, there's so many things to consider when making the first purchase that you've taken a ton of the mind boggling small details and exposed them. Sometimes there's so much that I can't keep it straight in my mind. Thanks!!

100% on the handle striking the hand!!!! I love the 2.0 because of this difference. On the job site pulling lots of weight this is crucial when you're going on rough terrain.

The cups are REALLY useful if you have the right tool belt. I have occidentals. Was doing siding yesterday and needed five types of fasteners throughout the day, I can fit 4 different cups in my left side pouch and they’re all organized. Also if I’m using Ramset nails, I grab the cup, put it in my belt, then when I don’t need them I just swap the cup for whatever else I need, so you don’t end up with 10 types of screw and fittings at the bottom of your pouch you have to reorganize

I saw someone a few days ago who posted a video with the drawers. Looked really nice. They said they’re supposed to be available online mid December, and available in stores next year. We’ll see if that’s true. If it is then they’ll be available online within the next week or so.

I just bought the 2.0 rolling box and the cold box! Way I figure is a yeti is $400 and has no mobility. This set up is made for strength and has wheels! Tailgating, camping, bonfires this set up is awesome! And both only cost me $165! Excellent video sir I like your in depth analysis and personal experience!

Was about to buy system 1 in Australia. Going to wait for system 2 but it might take 10 years to get here.

Thanx been looking at this system going to replace what i have you may have sold me lol😊

Great review, thinking of getting more of these and especially the base one so I can use all my other boxes with it too.

Good and practical review, helps to give more reasons to buy System 2 over the "other" brands

Straight up genuine solid review. Thanks!

I really wish they sold some of those orange bins separate. Some type of external attachment system for things would be nice too, like a clamp for fish sticks/rods to ride on the side, or a hook for an extension cord.

Great review! Good honest evaluation of the boxes. Better than many of the tool review channels. You should do more tool reviews.

Great review! Thanks

You sold them to me. I am getting a 2.0 stack tomorrow. Thanks

The 2.0s are an improvement, in my opinion. I just want to see some drawers! Good review. Appreciated and enjoyed it.

Exactly the review I was hoping to see. Thank you . You should rename the tags and title for more hits on this video. As this video did not appear on my search results. I only saw it when it was included in the recommendation videos right after watching another tool review. Perhaps putting Ridgid Pro Gear System "Toolbox" v1 vs v2 would help it pop out higher in the results helps.

Excellent info on the new system. Much better than you get at the Ridgid website. I bought one and am impressed by the quality. The only thing I DONT like about the new system is that the 9 inch wheels on the dolly are not common. Lawnmower wheels are normally 8 inches and relatively expensive buying them aftermarket. Im always thinking ahead as to how I will fix something when it breaks. I hope Ridgid offers replacement dollies and orange trays. The video as good as the product, thanks.

I prefer the top that comes off personally. And the tool organizer that came with it. But I can tell I’m gonna like the removable handle WAY better. Waiting till Black Friday and I’m gonna fill my new garage with them

Great review. when is Ridgid going to release a Pro Gear 2.0 two-drawer tool box?

I have some gen 1. Only complaint is the side latches are sometimes hard to connect. That being said. I love these as a budget option. Pack out has a degree of vanity IMHO.

Great Review. Thanks

Some great info here. I have the old system plus a few extras. I saw this new system and was a little jealous, mostly at the changes to the base/roller system. I was happy to find out I could just buy the new system and still attach the old boxes. I think DeWalt is literally on their 3rd design. Their most recent design looks to be their best, but will it be obsolete and non compatible with their next system in 4 years? Went to Depot yesterday just to check the system out and everything was sold out EXCEPT they had except they did a single roller base unit and it was on sale from $89 to $69, so I HAD to grab it!!

Such a great video, very nice to see what the old system looked like with tools in it, how the closed case system in the new one will work or what could be improved with further accessories, and how taking the wheel wells out of the new box opens up more room for big tools to fit next to each other. what i was hoping to see with having the old system and new system was interchangability of the old accessory system fit in the new system. could the medium box be put onto the wheel base, could the small box be put onto the wheel base? how the old system look locking into the new system? also, could you show what you can fit into each box in terms of power tools? the circ saw and another tool, then placing the accessory boxes in the top? does a recip saw fit into the medium box and then the accessory boxes? can the small box hold a recip saw, or is it likely to just hold various hand tools or ratchet wrenches with deep sockets? would you be willing to do a part 2?

I wish they would make those dividers for the large bottom box!

I definitely want to get the new base box and drawer box but i use the original box as a seat and i wonder if the 2.0 will hold me or not.

Awesome Review. Thank You

One other comment I have is that the rolling boxes look good, but to use them in the shop at home requires you to pull the top boxes off to get to the lower boxes (that is if I was wanting to use these boxes for local/home storage). Make sense? Thanks again for your videos. NOTE: I am not asking you to defend it, just trying to figure it out, really.

Very nice review. The padlocks were important for me as a DIY weekend warrior as my teenage kids get into my toolbox and don’t return them where they belong. I hate having to go on an Easter egg hunt for tools when I need them.

New subscriber here. Thanks for your video. I am looking for tool storage solutions for both the home shop and mobile projects for a hobby guy. I am not organized for the most part, so I need help. When I have a place to put the tool, I can put it up when finished in it’s home, but figuring it out it not my strong suit. Haha. Again, thanks for the video! All the best!

Have you got any of the Ridgid drawers yet?

Longest storage review in RU-vid history... Literally

i have seen a easy mod for tool boxes etch prim the inside then paint it white makes it much easer to find things in poor light

It's amazing how these toolcarts help you.,, like a true buddy. They've got to make some drawers ! I have the older version and they're durable,love the way all the handles are designed, very strong !! They are easy to stack and unstack . I really dont get the philosophy behind locking them together like Milwaukee does. You have to take them apart up and down stairs .. But yeah a few drawers would be nice. Actually there is a cheap system , where all the boxes open up, without unstacking . I think is called Stalwart.. but too flimsy for a tradesman.. PS, the older system handles are easier for me, you can grab both handles to lift it in the truck.

The medium one on version 2 is on sale for $39!

I love my 1.0 ridgid boxes, idk if I’ll get the 2.0 system

I heard the handle on the cart is weak and easily snaps. Have you had any issues with it?

Will the version 1 connect to version 2?

maaaannnn im going too get one now. good job

Do bins fit in the gen 2.0 suitcase box?

I wish ridgid had a drawer system

Just put a shim/spacer in there. These things shouldn't have these problems. For the money this sht shouldn't be happening.
