New LINK Modular Tool Storage - RYOBI SHOULDN'T MAKE THIS!

We visited with RYOBI to get hands on with the New LINK Modular Tool Storage system. We got all the specifications, the intended purpose of of use, which is not only the home owner and DIY crowd, but the trade professional, and contractors. Yes they designed with all the trades in mind with various sized tool boxes that interlock, and a rolling base, but they also state that they’ve built this system keeping in mind outdoor enthusiasts, disaster relief, first aid, personal trainers, event planners, and interior designers! Here another little tidbit that sets the Link modular tool storage system apart from other modular storage systems, they built the system with homeowners, Diyers, and Shade tree mechanics in mind by including modular wall mounting systems so you can build out a home shop! We even gave you pricing in our previous video • RYOBI LINK Modular Too... . We talked the entire system through and decided RYOBI SHOULDN'T be making THIS modular tool storage solution!

[@sloanNYC]

The wall rails... find one stud, put in one screw there, level and the built in hole spacing is stud spacing... makes it super easy to install. The pricing is a bit high compared to the rest of the line, but it seems appropriate for what it is. When you have heavy weight in a Packout, sometimes the unlocking can be tricky with the slide. I don't know if others have experienced similar...

@@VCGConstruction That bottom latching system is one of my main concerns too. Another is the limited weight capacity of the cart handle. 200 lbs is easy to reach in 2 or 3 boxes.

@VCG Construction Already see an issue. First, I do want to say that I like how you can just plop it on unlike Milwaukee. Not that Milwaukee's solution is terrible by any means (I love Milwaukee), but for those in the dirty ground trades (on sand/dirt a lot) or even if your trade has "cleanx surfaces like mechanic, HVAC, etc.. overtime, dirt and whatever else will get inside those moving components and make it either not work or barely work. Milwaukee has just the one clip so all the feet and "shoes" can be washed off. And the one clip should be relatively easy to clean out. Especially since it's somewhat open. Those Ryobi ones seem pretty closed and really tough to get to. But just like anything, the more moving parts you have, the more points of failure you have as well.

[@koma-k]

Looks like just one moving part to me... though depending on how that locking plate is "sandwiched" in there dirt could be a problem, or not...

[@bfmainisnunu8064]

You could buy two of these maybe even three for the same cost as one pack out kit tho. Also not as many people are going to steal a ryobi stack. I’m a Milwaukee man but these have me on board.

@@koma-k Doesn't really matter if it's one or not. I mean, if it's one, it'd have a better chance since it's act like "awd" with all the springs working together. But once it's stuck, it's stuck. Granted, as long as you're not using it directly in the mud or sand, shouldn't be too much of an issue. Though.. you might hear grinding from what is in there. Won't have that nice smooth sound or feel like it was when new.

There is something odd with the color combination. Maybe live it won't happen, but at least in the videos I have seen, it seems hard to tell which tools are hung on the wall system.

Same happens with the lime color parts.
