There’s never been a Klein tool that I didn’t love. Looks like it’s well worth the money, and that orange is just gorgeous

[@FixItFrench]

The cooler is awesome too… nice Chris Farley reference😂

[@Uff-dada]

The only thing that would blow the competition away would be having drawers in the bottom box. Being this late to the game, that should’ve been a priority.

[@davidshertzer900]

That's why I use the Ridgid system. They are the only ones (that I know of) that thought of the drawers on the bottom.

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

A great video brother. I like what Klein is doing. Their tools are good quality as well. As a Facilities Technician and a mechanical technician, these tool box systems are great. Take care.

[@bRad-ns6iy]

The cup holder is awesome!

[@garymiller5937]

I think that is absolutely awesome!!! Lots of great features and the color is perfect. Not only fantastic looking but very visible.The accessories look very helpful also. I think Klein nailed it with this system. And a big thank you to you Matt for your demonstration and review! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@plunder1956]

Firstly I love the colour. So many cases are dark inside & you can't see tools clearly, especially like the Tote bag. A nice way to keep tools organised & visible in the bag.

[@merlinsatrom6678]

Good informative review Matt! Thanks for the awareness of Klein!

[@rcampbell4967]

I just bought the Husky after thorough research. For myself and my use, the Husky is more than enough for the money. I'm not a builder or contractor, but I have completely renovated several houses and I do home improvements to my relatively new home almost every weekend. I got sick and tired of trying to find tools in my storage bins. I put together my home maintenence kit several years ago and there are too many tools for a single portable toolbox. The Husky works perfect with a couple of the add on units. My tools are now organized and easily accessible. If I were a contractor and used it daily to make a living, I would definitely buy the Klien or Milwaukee. I liken it to Harbor Frieght vs name brand.

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

The orange color is the stuff man.😊

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

I’m gonna need to see if we can get these because this could be a GAME CHANGER for me. Having all my RJ45 spooled up on the bottom, my cable terminations all organized in the middle, an area for my serious drills and concrete bits and then a place for my normal everyday bag would be PERFECT when we have big installs. All in one, all on wheels. Yes please. I could probably strap my ladder to it while I’m at it.

[@ronswoodshack]

That would be great in my small shop. I would use it to replace my big ol heavy metal craftsman tool box. It would be a heck of a lot easier to move around. I’m liking the color! “I like it alot”. Thanks for the review Mighty Matt!!

[@stiniusdahl9789]

I have the 3 box set so far. Awesome. Made well and its still a US owned company. Have numerous Ridged and Ryobi boxes but the color outshines them.

[@michaelbarbieri9871]

Great storage system. I am with you. Love the color.

[@theadventurebros4686]

magnets for the lid!

[@CampfireWoodworksRVA]

Love the new channel concept! Been a 731 follower for years. You have our families support!

[@TheOutlawEffect]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rickoneill4343]

The measure tape is for that groove where you can lay in and hold a piece of pipe to mark and cut it. Can't wait till the release their drawers.

[@chickenfoot713]

I’ve been waiting for an honest review of this, thank you! I wonder how it goes through muddy or rocky terrain 🧐

[@MMWoodworking]

I think embedding some magnets could help keep the main box lid up. Put some on the lid and the handle rail, and you will probably get a good hold. Pretty big oversight by them not to use a magnetic system to hold it up.

[@markkempton4579]

Oh, man. I love these boxes. I have a three-piece Ridgid OG set plus the 12-bin organizer that I use for my sideline photography. I have kaizen foam inserts to hold my cameras and lenses in the two larger boxes and all my remote camera gear, hats, jacket, laptop, batteries, gaffe tape, etc get shoved into the top box(es). I can split it and use them as a desk and chair to edit and submit photos at halftime and I've left it out in a downpour and they were waterproof. That said, I'd gladly give them up for this. Orange is my favorite color. Plus I love the accessories, especially the magnetic plate and the cord wrap, which would have come in handy several times. I also bought the Ridgid Gen 2 bottom box b/c the wheels/handle come off, so it's easier to put in the back of my car. But this knocks it out of the park for me. If I ever need to start over, this is how I'll do it. :)

[@dontprayforme]

Been looking at the Packout stuff, then noticed this at Lowe’s the other day. Didn’t even know Klein was making their own modular organization/toolbox stuff. The stuff they’re supposed to release in 2024 makes me want to wait and see before I decide. I like the Milwaukee stuff 100%. Just a high initial cost to get started with everything I need. Klein might be the same though (I thought it was slightly cheaper than the packout stuff when I looked at it the other day though I could be wrong).

[@de.velop519]

I'm too deep with the milwaukee packouts to switch now but I do really like a lot of Klein's hand tools and meters. I assume their storage is just as nice.

[@jimserhant7741]

If I wasn’t already heavily invested in my packout system, I’d gladly use these. Great review! I’m thinking that lid storage on the cooler would be for utensils/napkins and/or anything else you may want to keep dry when using ice. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@smokaFnJ]

A day L8 & $1 short…but a really nice box set! What about future GAW’s??? Thanx fer the vid

[@marconiandcheese7258]

So please review the drawers once they come out.

[@bettinanstevens9259]

Strong magnets epoxied under the lid and a sheet metal strip adhered to the crossbar of the handle should keep the lid open.

[@chasejordan22]

I've been a commercial electrician for 11 years. And no The Klein mod box does not blow away the competition. Toughbuilt stack tech makes more sense. Mod box has a place for you to put your conduit to pull your wire on the inside of the tote.... You have to remove every tool to pull wire..... Stack tech has the wire holder on the outside of the toolbox. Mod box organizing bins are far too shallow for someone who organizes more than just screws. There's a total of like eight components...n

[@Bigben22710]

I really like this system and was having a hard time deciding between this one and flex and it came down to cost. I was able to get into flex cheaper than Klein.

[@Qwiv]

I might need to reconsider my Packout expansion. This has so many features that I have about the Packout and stoped me from buying the bigger boxes. The side rail being one of them. I can buy, print that same rail and install it in my shop to hold these things easy vs. the stupid Milwaukee huge wall plate solution that just us a waste of space. Can’t imagine why o would by one of those plates to attach a plastic battery holder ot paper towel holder when I literally have screws. So dumb. Would like thoughts on the lack of the metal corners bars on Packout since I don’t have one. These don’t have those. Strong enough? Also really liking the Klein mod box tools over the uninovative Milwaukee stuff put in oversize cases for wat to much money.

[@user-nx3zk5qi8t]

“I don’t know, I get excited about tools”. I know exactly what you were feeling right there. Me and my mentor call it a sickness. I’m hoping leading into this year I can be more disciplined. I know I’ll have to fight the urge to upgrade things that work perfectly fine. Stick to investing into the business, not my desires. It’s a tough thing

[@MiguelMora-pz4fw]

Amen bro

[@marklaffey7972]

I’m a Milwaukee packout guy just like you but I must say they have some very nice stuff there

[@Robert-ug5hx]

It would be nice if there were adapter plates for the different brands,I am heavily vested in packout so it would make no sense to buy another system unless they could be used together

[@jeffreyesguitar5129]

The one thing that Ridgid rolling boxes have on all the other one's I've tried, is the release button being on the handle that you're holding. I hate having to reach back to adjust the handle. Ridgid dropped the ball with accessories and other auxiliary stacking options, but they nailed it with the handle. EDIT: The original had the good handle. The 2.0 has it in the back now. Lame.

[@FlipYTanimates]

another great tool review, do you think you could review the Ryobi link modular tool boxes?

[@TheOutlawEffect]

I'll see if I can get my hands on some of them!

[@micahgregory7004]

If Klein made this anywhere else but China I would have bought it by now.

[@mongo.outdoors5479]

Orange is my new favorite color 😍

[@matthewwain9958]

Took a risk on this of this rather than Milwaukee's version, even though Milwaukee was cheaper. I know drawers are coming which will be nice. They all carry less than I think they should though lol (Any brand). The Klein is definitely build really well. I think the bottom box lid is meant to stay up, but mine doesn't either which is annoying, as there is space for it. The boxes don't click in as nicely as I thought they should, maybe they will wear in. I wish the parts bins etc would mount higher in the box and more flush to the walls. I'm interested in the cooler (although bizarrely there is no top seal?). Definitely interested in getting the expensive electricians back pack, although I think the focus on electrician stuff might be their downfall here. A large backpack without the inserts would have been nice. (Note: A friend has a TON of the Milwaukee boxes, and he uses the attachment plates so they don't fly around in his trailer. I don't know if Klein do something similar.

[@espencer83]

What’s the comparison to the Flex?

[@nholly86]

Voltron was awesome.

[@tationut]

i would buy the mod box but i got a milwaukee vac that attaches to the boxes and it’s so easy and simple to move around

[@waygegreg1036]

You said the lid doesn't stay open by itself, but the actual next clip is the lip staying open by itself? bit confused on that

[@thomaskubiak7019]

I love Voltron, just introduced my 4yo to it. Still a Packout fan. I can live without all the extra stuff for what I do. ToughBuilt though…that’s a different story.

[@gerryqueener7876]

Teal drivers would go better with the orange than yellow or red!

[@RyanRoux]

Matt, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this, but I currently have a Husky tool tote (kind of like the Klien tote, but bigger) that I use to keep my screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, measuring tape, etc in. It weighs about 50 lbs. I like it because I all of my common hand tools in one place that I can take with me "easily" when I need to do a project at someone's house of around my house. When I need to take power tools, those are kind of thrown loosely in my truck as needed. I can use the base tote for my power tools, but would any of these boxes (not the tote) work to keep screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, etc neatly organized in? I would love to be able to have this work with my routine as a weekend warrior.

[@TheOutlawEffect]

Not without some type of insert to organize them. I know you can buy PACKOUT inserts on Etsy and other places but not sure about Klien inserts.

[@philippegratton7767]

Im a second year electrician apprentice and looking at packouts. Im starting to lean towards this one versus Milwaukee packout. Unfortunately cant afford it right now. ;) if your generous feel free to send one my way :)

[@sledninja]

And it's amazing when you get paid by these companies the stuff that you were promote

[@TheOutlawEffect]

I didn't get paid by anyone to make the video. But yeah, that would be amazing.

[@EverettVinzant]

At 4:49 the lid is staying open on its own.

[@baseballdude8491]

Tough bix the new cadilac Ridgid bxes.for beat value and sturdy as he double hockey sticks

[@mariondorsett]

Is it possible to 3D print parts like the cord wraps and attch them to the back of the boxes or rails?

[@TheOutlawEffect]

Yes sir you could!

[@garyvaughan2648]

Color match?

[@66meikou]

It's a nice storage solution but a pain in the arse to work with on site. Everything is a flip up box which means you have to wrestle with it or take a box or two off. If this was a drawer system then that would be different. This is why I don't like the sys containers. Sure they stack but try to get to a tool in the middle of a stack.

[@Damon_Barber]

Will lowering the handle on the large box allow the lid to stay open?

[@TheOutlawEffect]

Maybe. I’ll have to try it

[@Chettjacobson]

You showed your age with the Voltron reference but it was an awesome cartoon.

[@TheOutlawEffect]

😂

[@HVAC_Unknown]

Takes a while, but after a couple of uses, that klein lid will stay up.

[@Willies_shop]

I do like some of the attachments, but I don’t see much to sway my opinion and given the choice I’ll go with the one not made in China and stay with the Milwaukee Packout.

[@plow9719]

good ol klein

[@quocd5580]

I am 5 yrs deep w/ milwaukee packout products; just to swap out everything out would be $$$. Unfortunately, i hav to stay w/ the milwaukee packput.

[@garyvaughan2648]

Drawers?

[@teaganwindago3132]

One thing to to think of! Being OCD AS me. Once loaded. Where is everything? I can tell if anyone gets into my old school broken down craftsman tool chest. Maybe a simple label maker could help. Just a thought!

[@garyvaughan2648]

Knect?

[@2chipped]

Drawers,castor cart,hand truck,cabinet? The toolbox is the only item you have shown,that i use to make a living. Unlatching anything beyond the top box is a waste of productivity. The cooler doesn't have far to beat the pos packout ,I use a small pelican. Just like tough built, until drawers are released...not much better than Ridgid. Dewalt toughbuilt actually offer drawers and a nice wall mounting system.

[@sledninja]

Let's see we got a guy here who works in his shop and never takes his tools anywhere giving us advice on a packout system for guys who are constantly out in the field working take it with a grain of salt folks

[@teaganwindago3132]

But what’s the cost of all that?

[@michaell6645]

I’m 32 and strong and it’s still very bottom heavy in person. Not great for in and out of truck. The handle is very sturdy and heavy also. The accessories are ridiculous on expensive I kind of regret switching from a bag with straps.

[@dippitydoinit]

Klein won't admit it but that storage flap under the lid of the cooler is for your weed. And maybe a couple shots of Fireball.

[@steveletcher5226]

4:00 can't get the lid to stay open....4:28 lid is open unassisted...

[@jasonbabila6006]

Is it cheaper than the Milwaukee version?

[@TheOutlawEffect]

About the sale price

[@ODeltaCreations]

Can you purchase trays to go inside the smaller boxes for organization? I know you could 3d print them but oem would be nice.

[@TheOutlawEffect]

I’m not sure. That would be nice if you could.

[@Panotaker]

If I need that many tools, I don’t want to work there.

[@InuranusBrokoff]

Hilarious title.

[@roylarsson1962]

Dam , I need my hammer but it’s in the bottom box

[@jmackinjersey1]

I realize this video is a few months old now, but have you noticed that these are not selling all that well at Lowe's? In fact, they have been steadily dropping the prices like crazy and still not a lot of buyers. It appears that the market has been getting over saturated to say the least, and all of the late comers to the market are falling short of even biting at the dust coming off of Packout's wheels. The only ones that are picking up market share seem to be the lower priced brands, but even those aren't competing in the high end arena. Then again, FLEX isn't doing too well in either their boxes or tool sales. Hopefully those guys will get the hint and simply pull a Stop Sale on all of their products and go away quietly. It's not that I don't like their tools. Well, in all honestly, I haven't seen any stay on the jobsites longer than a few hours before they started smoking. But I just don't like the way the company lies during their fake infomercials, just like Bora making unfair, unrealistic or just plain old false ads.

[@TheOutlawEffect]

Interesting. I think they may have too much competition that have better marketing, brand recognition or better features. ToughBuilt is going to cause some problems for a lot of storage manufacturers

[@jmackinjersey1]

@@TheOutlawEffect I agree that ToughBuilt has a remarkable product. Will it knock the king off of the throne? I don't know, but I think it will be giving Milwaukee a run. But then again we both know that competition is always good for the consumer, and we also know that Milwaukee is not known for resting on their laurels. I will say that the instant stand that TB has in the teaser clip is something that I have been imagining for years now, even before PO was in my truck. I was thinking about something like that back in the early 2000's, when I had the original modular mobile box set made by Stanley.
