I use the rigid drawer system sense it’s a bit more affordable but it’s good to know there’s a metal alternative that’s the same price as the packout drawers. If sk has a sale I’ll pick up two. Great video!
I first had the big gangbox-style jobsite toolbox and sure, they're handy, but requiring a lull or forklift to get it in and out of my truck when I arrive and leave a jobsite sucks. Given, I'm on a job for months at a time so that's not that big of a deal, but there are so many cons compared to the pros. Then I became a Milwaukee fan-boy and got their Packout drawers. The quality is fine, but I hate the red and the fact that it stands out, so it's common for tools to grow legs and go missing. Toughbuilt has a 2-in-1 handtruck-to-dolly sorcery contraption that would be ideal for when I need to navigate rocky terrain on any random jobsite. But I love the idea of a metal modular drawer system. A metal cart could be welder together with castors if I wanted them side-by-side. This might be my frontrunner. Thanks for the video!
@@johninmontana5847 thanks for your comment! Funny enough before I found these, I was going to get the toughbuilt system but they have been sold out for months now. Glad I found these instead!
Are you sure you can’t swap the key cylinder out with a different cylinder? I have wanted these for a while. I have a versastack but my tools are automotive and in 3 boxes I probably have about 200 pounds of tools so it’s not easy to cart around. Also these being like roll cab drawers is appealing and would be better for organizing than just. A big plastic tote. Even though versastack has a drawer box those plastic drawer boxes are pretty tacky. The packout ones and the higher end dewalt/craftsman ones are nice but these sk boxes are really nice. I think one group great star manufactured these to appeal to mostly is the Mobil mechanic crowd. Thanks for the video.
Great video! Would you recommend this tool box for a mobile aircraft mechanic? My biggest concern is loading up this tool box into the van and rolling through parking lots.
How heavy are they, if for example one were to load it up with all their wrenches and sockets would it be manageable to lift a box into the back of a hatchback? Also how sturdy are the drawers? Thin sheet metal or do they hold up to the weight of being fully loaded?
I would say its doable considering I can lift the boxes around full of tools and im a girl 4'11" 135 pounds so it doesn't take much to beat me out. I do think its doable to lift and throw in a hatchback. Definately not thin cheap metal in my opinion. I feel comfortable enough to load it up without having to think about what im putting it in no problem.
I have a front opening Knack box I take to car races. It's geeat, but the problem is I have to pull my bins off the shelves to get anything. This is pretty attractive as an option to mount inside it for my various fasteners, fittings and parts.
These actually look pretty sweet.
Fantastic review, and your tattoos are awesome. The artist(s) did a phenomenal job.
Nice review, bonus points for rocking the Buc-ee’s shirt.
Thank you sir 🫡🫡

@@curtops872 rigid is a solid choice too! I am happy there is competition to keep companies innovating.
Nice review. This is something I don't really need, but the presentation was good.
thanks for watching, I appreciate your comment!
Great video. Those look very sturdy.
@@ronswanson9446 Yes, definitely an improvement over plastic.
Wow, very thorough, thanks!.

@@deeeyewhy5949I think you can swap out the core.
Please tell me it fits with tstak

@@ericmoreno6892 I would recommend it in your case! Definitely managable when broken up into a few tool boxes 👍.

When you order packout from temu
When you don’t know other brands besides what’s at Home Depot this is what you sound like .
Are these made in China?
@@wdsracer yes
