ToughBuilt StackTech Modular Toolbox System, Worth It?

[@gregmize01]

Slick system! The B-roll of John cutting that branch was pure cinema, btw!

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Jon knows what he’s doing 🎥

[@LuminairPrime]

Thank you for the tour, the paper tower roll holder is actually genius lol. Looking forward to the long-term review!

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Thanks for watching! We’re really liking them so far.

[@rulrich45]

I like the accessories. We use utility carts at work. I'm a little excited for the 2-in-1 cart coming out soon. You can put two stacks of boxes on it in 4-wheel mode. I invested in packout toolboxes before I found out drawers are the way to go. If they come out with a shallow crate, then I could make the equivalent of a utility cart, only better.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I haven’t seen those 2-in-1 carts. Sounds interesting!

[@markpalmer3071]

Looks pretty good and I like it’s not tool brand specific. Would be interesting to see how you end up using it in a month or three?

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

For sure!

[@GmoneyX112]

Nice video but there is 1 thing you all need to know, Lowes are having problems getting the Stacktech in stock. I have called Lowes customer service and they told me that they have some of them being discontinued and not sure if they will continue carrying the STACKTECK any more? I got a email because i want that single drawer that was out of stock and the email said it was back in stock so I ordered the case and 2 days later they told me its discontiued. So before you buy this check your local Lowes store and find out if they are getting more in stock! The bad thing is Lowes is the only place that carries STACKTECH so good luck finding any.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Good to know! Someone else is the comments said they’re supposed to be picking up more distributors

[@williamellis8993]

Looks good, Jeff. It should serve you well. It's not something that I have a need for, though. Do those compartments in the lid of the top box come out? Bill

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Thanks, Bill. Yes! And you can hang them on the side of the stack as well with the accessory bar they have.

[@sapelesteve]

Now that looks like a very nice modular toolbox system! 👍👍

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Pretty cool so far!

[@robertdemarco7989]

I like the draw boxes great idea .Another great video Jeff

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Thanks, Rob! 💪🏼

[@matthewshull8376]

I use their tool bags and clip system everyday for my everyday tape measure carry and pencils, notepad, small fasteners as I hate toolbelts. I have no doubt these are just as good in their offerings. With so many options out there, good to see these are stout and heavy duty. I have so many systainers and a cabinet install system in place with them, it would be hard to change over to these, however, I see a great use for those drawers for some specific setups for on the site tasks for our remodeling, especially tile and electrical. I will be checking them out next time at Lowes. Thanks for the first look!

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Thanks for watching. Yes, I have a ton of systainers too; even stacks of empty ones sitting around. They’re good boxes aside from being brittle but I’ve found it really difficult to keep them organized even with Kaizen foam.

[@martinneps9387]

I would love to know how much weight do these drawers hold?Please comment back and let me know.Thank you very much for this KZbin video.Hope to hear from you.Thank you again

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I’m not positive but I’d say at least 20 lbs. Check toughbuilt’s website they may have a specific rating.

[@RayWhiddon]

I have a Ridgid pack out and one of my coworkers has the Milwaukee pack out but I really like the Toughbuilt and plan on getting one.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I like them a lot. Wish I could find more!

[@JoshOfAllTrades.]

The boxes seem like they’ll work great with their table I got. I use it any chance I get and it’s been a charm

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I didn’t know they had a table!

[@ElectroAtletico]

Lowe's has pretty much abandoned marketing this system in exchange for Kleins. It's a shame, because I prefer Toughbuilt tools/boxes.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

That’s a bummer!

[@dagored100]

Thats looking very tough storage containers. Nice system…i liked the wooden top..

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

We’ll be putting them to the test!

[@warrenwerks]

Good stuff! I have the husky boxes which are just ok so I may look into these

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Haven’t tried the Husky. These are definitely worth checking out at the store.

[@coreytighe8605]

Look like solid jobsite boxes. I wonder how they are compared to the Milwaukee packout. I’d buy some of these but I’m too invested in Packout.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Haven’t tried pack out but I’m not a huge fan of red 😝

[@coreytighe8605]

@@TodaysCraftsmen oh I know. But it’s not the same stupid expensive price for a square (then again I got them all and they do get used a lot)

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

😝😝😝

[@slhasebroock]

Have a bunch of the drawer units, and parts organizers. Ya cup holder, level rack, towel rack and hangers! Love them. I have whole system of stuff that I use all the time and can roll anywhere in the shop. My only complaint is the wheels that they sent you are NOT available yet and have been waiting a long time. I have my stack on a 4 wheel cart furniture care from HF that is less than ideal. Come on TB get those 4 wheels units out on the market.

[@slhasebroock]

Just checked and 4 wheel cart is STILL not available. Never has been available, and in my market in Nebraska all the drawer units and many other items are also out of stock. Don't understand why they continue to promote these items and no one has them. TB if you are going to send to influencers, better get them out in the stores!

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Oh really? I didn’t know that it wasn’t available! Well now I feel special 😝

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

They definitely seem to be having a hard time keeping up with demand.

[@billystray7007]

I was just gonna comment; wow !! They managed to get it out to you but can't get it in the store. Word is that Lowe's is the real problem. This fall, they'll be available at different retailers, or so I've read ?

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Did they tease what retailers may be carrying them?

[@johnreynolds4611]

LOWES doesn't have any stock to buy and Toughbuilt will not accept direct orders. Where can I buy your product?? Don't They understand that if there is no way to buy product, they will not make any proffit???

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Definitely hard to find! I don’t have any inside information unfortunately. I look every time I’m in Lowe’s and they have barely anything.

[@redscortgt93]

Aside from the sawhorses I always felt like Toughbuilt was kinda clunky and tacky in the tool department, but these boxes look like a nice balance of durability and size, etc. They look nice.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I can’t speak to their other stuff because I’m not really familiar with it but these boxes seem like a good combination of ruggedness but not ULTRA bulky. They’re definitely not lightweight or thin but not too bad.

[@Mopardude]

I been excited for this system since it was announced like last year. I have a Milwaukee Packout stack that I have had since they first came out. Its ok system but for me its down falls kinda annoy the heck out of me. I been waiting for the 2 in 1 hand truck to be released before I switch to tough system. Haven't decided yet if I will full switch or be rocking both systems, waiting to get hands on before I make that decision.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I definitely gave packout a look as they seem to be really popular. They just seem ultra bulky to me.

[@Mopardude]

@@TodaysCraftsmen Hard to answer that question. Compared to other systems it is but seems on par to tough system although I haven't seen them in anything other than youtube videos so far so I can say for sure.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Fair enough! I haven’t really messed around with packout in person either so I’m kind of just making assumptions. I do prefer the black aesthetic to the red by far.

[@christinemoon5643]

@@TodaysCraftsmen Australia has some items/stock very low. New shipment maybe 2024 Q3 or Q4 wherein in UK some distributors have dumped TB no sign of stock & pushed to 2025. I have some TB, Packout & Ridgid. TB is 30% heavier than Packout but cheaper, wherein Packout is lighter but 30-50% dearer, range is vast but no accessories-plenty of TP suppliers. TB Australia assures me TB will be coming, when ?-not convinced.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Packout is lighter? I’ve never used it but that’s surprising!

[@TheSkydiverphoenix]

I just purchased 350.00 worth of Ridgid stackables. Wish I would have seen this video first.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Ouch!!!

[@colinlye280]

See you can wrap a power cord up. Maybe even insulate the walls a bit for a 6 pack. Definitely like drawers to get a hardware.

[@johnreynolds4611]

It doesn't matter, I can't find any stock of this product at my local LOWE'S in San Jose, CA. LOWE'S doesn't want to carry their products. So sad, they have a great product.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Yeah it’s a shame. I always check when I go to Lowe’s.

Appreciate it, Rick!

[@James-lo5ne]

I really wanted to buy into stachtech however they have a list of promised items that keep getting pushed back.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Hopefully they can ramp up production!

[@trippleHelixV2]

They sure send stuff to KZbin people constantly…. But they sure as shit won’t answer my emails…. Or questions regarding trying to find anyplace that sells their cart/dolly and their miter saw stand… most of their products are no joke hard to find… at least in TN.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Sorry to hear that! In all fairness this collaboration has been developing since the beginning of February so pretty slow moving. Apparently they’re having a hard time keeping up with demand.

[@trippleHelixV2]

@@TodaysCraftsmen certainly not your fault brother. I honestly am most dissatisfied in Lowe’s who has clearly done them a disservice. For those of us already in the stacktech system the entire intention is so we can store and move all our necessary tools… when you cannot find any of their products that go with your system it’s frustrating… especially when you technically can find them occasionally. I’ve had multiple people just say you have to physically go search at different lowes… that’s the best way…. In 2024…. A company that wants to sell you something… with a customer who wants to buy it…. And you can’t…. Very ofd

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Here’s hoping they can increase production!

[@ЮрийРадев-с6м]

It is a good system. Except locking system

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

You don’t like the locking? I’m a big fan.

[@chrisgardner3606]

Come on man, giving a tool review without ever using the tool? Are we searching for content? Well at least you got some free stuff. The phumatic air clamps were a better line of content. Sorry just being honest

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

Haha it’s not a review. I said up front it’s a first impression. Did you watch the video?

[@chrisgardner3606]

@@TodaysCraftsmen I did watch 75% of it and I did miss your comment about it being a " Impression video ". We are users not lookers. Haven't you been burned by something that looks good but spends it's life in the bottom of a drawer or the back of a cabinet? You should have thrown in away but you spent so much money on it that it's hard to do. The Stainless steel Cyber truck looks cool... maybe....until you find out the stainless gets rusty and the door edge can cut you because it hasn't been finished properly. Load them boxes up with your tools, throw them in your van, slam the drawers and doors because you've had a shifty day and give a proper " review " in say 🙄 six months. Until then keep up the good work .

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

I mean, I said it in the first 30 seconds of the video so… I don’t see any harm in showing something that we think is cool even if we don’t have experience using it. We didn’t tell anyone to go buy it; I actually said that we would put it into use and report back what we think. But hey, we can’t please everyone 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@TodaysCraftsmen It's all good but you didn't address my original contention . Are you searching for content?

[@oscarusestools]

I get pissed off and these review videos just for clicks. They dont actually show using tools. You can tell they are always going to send it back or return it because they leave the sticker.

[@TodaysCraftsmen]

1. This isn’t a review. I make that pretty clear LITERALLY within the first 30 seconds of the video. 2. These aren’t tools, they’re toolboxes. Not quite sure how you’d like me to demonstrate them and further other than putting something in it and taking it out? 3. These aren’t going back. They’re getting put to use.
