Javier Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I was able to collect all four of ridgid's newest to boxes. They have a standalone 25" tool tube and the 22" professional storage system of three modular tool boxesIn this video I go over the features of the tool boxes. So far I really like them and the prices are very affordable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 The only problem I have with them is that I wish they were red not orange At that price point and how nice they are I can deal with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodstockva Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I saw the round one at Home Depot today....pretty unique design! I like that there is a lot of storage space under the tray & it is not recessed inside the bottom portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyJ Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks Javier, just what i was looking for. Great review. Have you put any weight in them and used it over curbs / thresholds? How strong is the "luggage" handle? Are they comparable to Tstak in thickness/quality? Thanks for answering my questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks Javier, just what i was looking for. Great review.Have you put any weight in them and used it over curbs / thresholds? How strong is the "luggage" handle?Are they comparable to Tstak in thickness/quality?Thanks for answering my questions.Thanks JeremyI loaded the pro cart and it did well over curbs- probably with 30-40 lbsThe telescoping handle itself seems solid although there is some play at the joints but nothing to affect performanceI haven't seen tstaks in person so I can't really compare the twoTo bad HD doesn't sell them (tstaks) instore because I did want to check them out before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yea Javier that sucks that HD doesn't carry them in stores I bet they would sell better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was just able to pick mine up from the local HD. They are really well built. My only compaint so far is the metal they use to join the hinge isn't capped off. I kinda scraped myself earlier moving them around and caught myself on it, and it could slide out over time separating the hinge. I might see if a rubber tip will go over the edge or some kinda crimp. I also have to check what the warranty is on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Good to see you were able to get a hold of them. I had to take a look a mine to check the hinges and I wouldn't worry about the pins sliding out as they can't since part of it bends in the middle for the lid stop. Mine don't stick out much or at all so maybe you can sand the edges down with a dremel or cut it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I will double check tomorrow when I start filling them with tools I think I might need another rolling base though to hold Everything Like I want too. I will have to see how loading tools tomorrow starts going. I might either try and sell my tool bags or have the great tool bag giveaway 2014 on the TIA forum. It won't be the same as the UTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 FINALLY had a chance to stop by HD and check these out today and I gotta say if I didn't already invest into the Dewalt system I would've jumped into these Rigids there very nice and price on them is great, I also looked at the Milwaukee ones and really didn't wow me like the Rigids did don't get me wrong they were nice also but no stacking system just kills it. Javier I saw that my HD is carrying the tough boxes like u said and I almost bought the small lone Ds150 I believe but my wife would have killed me there on the spot lol! 50 BUCKS MAN!! hopefully they will go a lil down for the holidays.........hopefully...

madman_us Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 those are some nice storage systems, but the tube is just weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I was able to get a good number of my tools out of hard cases and tool bags. It's really nice I think I might pick up another bottom and small case. just to have them if I get any bare Milwaukee tools later on.

If they are hopefully I can get a price adjustment!!! I don't think you can get a better modular box for the price. I bought some silica gel packets to toss in the boxes to keep moisture under control just to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some silica gel packets to toss in the boxes to keep moisture under control just to make sure Actually tough boxes are not too bad price wise box per box the problem is the cart cost close to 200 dollars. T-stacks wile nice are more like l boxes in construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 ya i would toss them in too - cant go wrong with that.those boxes are really sturdy - i def gonna get them. all 3 ( not the tube one haha ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I love the tough boxes DR I don't think I will be getting the cart anytime soon.... those rigid boxes are cool I noticed a lil flex movement but nothing that would stop me from getting a set in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
