I think this review is more on how to tear apart flex and praise milwaukee. I am a contractor and only use milwaukee tools except our mitter we stick to dewalt. I recently purchased both milwaukee and flex and i have to say i love how flex has thought about the actual necessary adapters such as drill racks/ extension cord hooks and level clips. Something that milwaukee in its many years building their boxes has made third parties create their on with 3d printers. Flex has them available. Only advantage to milwaukee is the excessive amount of boxes. So if you need to carry extention cords and drills you will have to buy more pack out boxes.
The Handler does work with the flex. Because the flex handle is almost identical to Packout. Other mods I make for myself would not be possible with flex. 👎🏻
I looked at Milwaukee and Flex. I bought the Flex with no hesitation. Flex Stack Pack is a phenomenal tool box all the way around without a doubt. This guy is obviously strictly a Milwaukee guy and didn’t do anything but bash Flex. So biased. Not only that, Flex Power Tools are so SUPERIOR to Milwaukee power tools since I own Milwaukee and Flex.
Lol! This was a totally unbiased review. Not pick the Flex and say downside are mods needed for other battery platforms coming from the mod guy is hilarious. Anyway I love my PackOut and definitely will be sticking with it because the mods people have for Milwaukee is excellent. Flex will get there also. He did have a good point about Flex system clips being a problem for making mods to add to the box. Milwaukee cleats are better.
You asked me the other day. Now that I own the 3 box setup, 2 small and one big organizer. I say I like the Flex more than the Packout. Never had DeWalt but I see no need. Flex is built a lil better, slightly taller/deeper and I find it super quick to attach them.
Most of the Packout boxes except the largest only have slots for one divider. I like that the Flex has three. Most people I see with Packout are just piling their tools on top of one another.
Flex is better that pack out. This review is pretty bias. The handle is optional if you want to use it it's there. The hand at the top doesn't lock as an additional safety. LoL 😆 Why didn't you mention the thickness of the wall. How about how much better the rubber wheels is. How much better I don't have to hold my top lid up. Love my Flex 💪 go drop the flex and the Milwaukee and see why one break first.
I've had the packout for a few years and it's showings it's age. The rolling box has always let a little water in, but a lot more now. The wheels aren't straight anymore, so I'm not sure it's as durable as I expected.
For packouts made a several years ago the wheels and axles had issues with alignment and durability. They have since been redesigned but you might be able to remedy your misalignment with washers or new axle and wheels.
Yep, specifically how the containers connect is much better and stronger with Packsize. Flex seems to have taken dewalt a system and made it a bit higher quality. Still though good to have another high quality option.
I have Flex & Ridgid yes Ridgid is a lot cheaper but in the long run they are made to store tools, you can take all the brands and find good and faults in all of them. I bought Ridgid pretty much for shop storage and I bought Flex because they were on sale and was a lot cheaper than Milwaukee and Klein wasn't in stores yet.
I’ve use both I rather prefer Packout. Because the locking system on packout is so easy to use and much better durability. Also packout have much more selection to customize to your liking
I'd like to see you slide a flex modular system into the back of the truck with one on the left and one on the right of it as well and then I'd like to see you try to take them apart since the levers are on each side you would have to pull it all the way out and go on each side but with the pack out you can just flip one little liver and slide it right out
Flex's advertisers were so aggressive taking shots at packout but the top handle doesn't self latch the lid on the mid size box? They need to allocate more money on design than PR
The completeness of the Milwaukee packout is why I still buy it. With the intent of buy once and be done there’s issues with the side lock boxes from everyone else. Nice video. I like that flex hasn’t bought you yet!
One critical measurement is the height of the handle in the stored position of the rolling box. The handle height is important for the guys who have a tonneau cover on the bed of their truck. If I remember correctly, the Packout handle is higher than the bedrails of a truck. In your comparison reviews, can you please measure the handles in the stored position? Thanks,
Great comparison that details serveral things neclected in others videos. In your upcoming comparison with the Ridgid system, it would be interesting to also see the Ryobi Link boxen. Keep up the great work!
Ive seen ryobi link in stores a few times. I might pick one up for review but I was very unimpressed by the boxes! The price to quality ratio is lower than other systems in my opinion
Bought this Flex pack out a few months ago. Used on three projects. The latches between the top box and the middle box kept hanging up or not locking. Soooo, tried to call company service to get a fix. Wasn't asking for anything but a tech to walk me through the fix(maybe a replacement latch?). First, good luck getting through, they DON"T answer their phones. After a half hour hold the message comes on offering a call back. No choice gotta grow old on the phone or give up. No call back, so the next day I try again, same deal, but this time I get a cal back. Pleasant young lady hears the problem and takes all my info and says they are sending a new replacement unit!! Of course nothing took place, NO Replacement Unit, No Latches, NO NOTHING!!!! The product seems to be well made except for these few minor issues, however I would never recommend buying a Flex product. They have no customer loyalty.
The latching system is my biggest gripe with this system. Other people are constantly disregarding it but I’ve said time and time again that the mechanism has a big chance of failure and the warranty system is untested. I’m sorry they failed you, but I’m glad you’re spreading the word 👍
Flex competes with Milwaukee say no more. It's great better or not it's in the same league as Milwaukee and we should be happy. The more competition the better it is for us consumers!
Great video Jake! Looking forward to your future comparison videos with the pack out. Since you seem to be a pack out expert, do you know if Home Depot typically discount them for Black Friday? I was looking to potentially getting a kit if they discount it.
A couple years ago I bought the three piece for 199 from Home Depot. Other retailers have deals too. But i think Milwaukee changed their deal last year to a rolling box, medium box and crate for 179. I’ve gotten almost all my packouts on sale. Gotta wait for the holiday season and other special buys.
Can I get a video on how many tools can fit in these tool boxes,,I bought the suitcase tool box from flex and I love it because I was able to put my 16-gauge ryobi nailer a 23-gauge a charger and some batteries(I had to take out those bins inside)
@@JakeWeihe I was going to do with rigid or pack out but for the price of those I got way more with the husky, I got their big boxes as well with the connect system. I’ve seen some contractors on here that have used them and still do and like them. Another best box for the husky connect is there tote and the cantilever box
Great review, I just checked out the Flex stack pack today at the store, and while I do think it’s a quality option, I noticed the same issues as you. Packout remains supreme.
All my cordless tools are milwaukee, yet I went with flex for storage, because you can buy flex tools on sales, where as with milwaukee there is no such thing as a good deal, especially with their M18 or packout platform. You pay a 30% tax for the color. To be honest, if I could go back and chose a different battery platform, I would have gone with makita or bosch, they may not be as powerful but they last and if something ever breaks they aren't built as a single unit, you can buy spare parts from both manufacturer and fix your tools.
Finally an honest review from someone who’s not sponsored by flex. To me honestly my packout system isn’t only a storage solution, I own the packout light and vacuum, and they are two of my most used tools as a finish carpenter. I like the new multi-battery charger that just got announced but I wish it was stackable I already have too many top-of-the-stack things
@@oO-dn9mv Lol yh my toughts 2 (why would he point oute to place the bits box's down in the container "hard to reach" when u just click it on to the top lid ;)
@Jake Weihe The problem of ALL flaws you point out are Optional USe Dont like the lateral handles, dont use it Dont like the gas struts, remove it Dont like the multi-layout system on the Lid, Dont use it People are calling you fanboy because of this, some way how in your mind an Optional Feature is a flaw, All people will see is someone who make money selling 3D prints for the competition trying keep the money. And Last but no least you claim that Tools in Action and Tool Review Zone dont point out "Flaws", well you dont point out neither from milwalkee
the argument of “optional use” is kind of silly. If you are forced to pay for features you will remove or won’t use… buy a different system. Check out my longer comparison video to see more flaws for all systems. This was a FIRST Impressions video. I just said what I first noticed that others hadn’t. 🤷🏻♂️ and the 3D prints I sell are compatible with flex…
@@JakeWeihe Yes, you are paying for it but let me be clear , the Milwaukee is almost the SAME price without the options Again ,how and aditional option, by the same price is a problem?? The ausence of THE options on Milwaukee should be considered a flaw (same price, less options) not other way around Dont get me wrong, and sorry for any misspeling, english is not my natural language I'm from Brazil and this kind of tool box organizer here is impossible to afford It can cost more than an usual family get in an entire month THis is the kind of tooll i can only dream here I would be more than happy wich both options
Great review! Don’t own either of the modular tool box systems but I came across a stack pack organizer on clearance for $29.98 (from 54.98) at my local lowes and I had to get it. I’m a Milwaukee fanboy with my m12 tools that I really wanted a packout but now that I have a flex stackpack-compatible box, I might go with their system, it’s very sturdy. Do you know if the stackpack system goes on sale during Black Friday/holidays? If so for how much? I didn’t see any discounts on their modular storage system during fathers day/ July 4th sales. I noticed my lowes restocked on all sorts of tool boxes from mechanics tool carts to kobalt and craftsman modular storage and bags so I’m assuming that all their tool boxes will be on sale soon??
Too many things missing from the stack pack no drawer boxes, no dolly, no blanks to to create your own mounting system/dolly. I have both sticking to Packout until they fix this stuff
@@JakeWeihe not sure why my comment went under someone else's comment lol. But yes I did... I even had 3 other guys at work switch from Milwaukee pack out to flex stack...
All the brands are the same measuremends ? I have biger mashines if flex is 10 cm biger than pack out i would have more reason to purchase flex instead of pack out . But you exacly the same zise .
@@JakeWeihe plastic probably degrades and crumbles over the years or any rubbery handles turn to mush. Absurd they think they can ask the same price and have Lowe’s sell it. 🤣🤣🤣
It should be just a separate battery Box design that way doubts that you can pull out for different brands make it so much easier than making all this stuff furthermore if wet carpenters and builders and designers we can actually build something better than what these guys are doing out of wood of course but some of the craftsmen out there could build some really nice looking stuff it also depends on how you take care of your equipment a lot of guys don't care about how they treat their stuff but then their other guys who value the investment
@@JakeWeihe I don’t get why stacking case manufacturers have been making stacking flip tops for so long. Everyone should be using drawers. Flex don’t have any excuse really Milwaukee packout and dewalt drawers are flawed but ok. There’s no competition for something to useful and lucrative. The garage storage market is untapped
@@JakeWeihe well, that was a lame response on ur part. First u say it’s an unbiased video. Then u deny bashing the flex system when called out. Now admit to bashing the system. Ur sounding like Kamala and her cronies with all the flip flopping. Pick a side dude.
You do realize this video is almost two years old right?…. They’ve come out with more items that make it a little better but my original concerns with it are still valid. At the end of the day there are better systems out there than flex stackpack.
if your top priority is strength… just get a metal toolbox. Idk why people are making such a big deal out of the small jump in durability from Packout to flex since Packout has proven to be more than enough for thousands of users. And... Flex is uglier…
What’s up brother. I follow your page over on IG. Just wanted to come through and show some love and support brother. Just subbed and got the noti bell on. Looking forward to catching up on your videos
Well if I copied everyone else’s best components I’d have the best as well, not to mention all the extra parts they copied from all the guys making aftermarket guys 🖕🏻
A. I’m not a Milwaukee fanboy B. There’s clear and objective points made about why the system is falling short in this video C. This video is old. Check out my latest drawer comparison
@@JakeWeihe not in home but I got to play with it. I use too own 2 Packout sets. When I found out about Flex I sold them. I was using Flex way before they came here in gray though.
@@JakeWeihe just dropped 2k on their tools today, I gotta say, the stacked lithium blows milwaukee out of the water, yes, I've used and abused milwaukee... but flex still shreds it apart
Not trying to hate on them, but there was definitely bias. Obviously I also have any biases, but they literally did not point out any flaw that I talk about in my videos.
@@JakeWeihe I thought your flaws were minor tbh, and "real nice like" is pro-milwaukee and Tool Review Zone is one pro-dewalt and one pro-milwaukee. Try Belts and Boxes (sooooo pro-milwaukee) , even they tell it like it is. I have Packout by the way!!! Good luck with the channel and keep up the content. I'll give you good comments in future.

That is an important spec for most. I’ll measure both in the next video. But there is a simple mod for packouts to have removable handles like flex.

I would need about 30 stack packs to fit what is in my tool box.
What toolbox do you have?
you are not the customer for this then
Milwaukee fan boy
Weird how Your keyboard auto corrected “I’m jealous” to that. 🤔
Milwaukee fanboy. So in other words buy flex tools an store them in pack out boxes.
U could do that. Whatever floats your boat
Ridgid ain’t bad at all..
Ryobi is pretty good as well
Definitely agree!
Green Tabs!!! Someone call Festool!!!
Lol
Good video
Thanks
@@JakeWeihe np
The bird wasn’t for you lol

"It'll be unbiased"
*proceeds to bash flex exclusively *
What specifically do you disagree with?
@@JakeWeiheu did bash flex some what. lol.
It deserved to be bashed. It’s a little better now
@@JakeWeihe well, that was a lame response on ur part. First u say it’s an unbiased video. Then u deny bashing the flex system when called out. Now admit to bashing the system. Ur sounding like Kamala and her cronies with all the flip flopping. Pick a side dude.
You do realize this video is almost two years old right?…. They’ve come out with more items that make it a little better but my original concerns with it are still valid. At the end of the day there are better systems out there than flex stackpack.
Milwaukee fan boy such a hater lol! I own Milwaukee and flex there both bad ass in there own design
Just trying to point out things other people don’t. 🤷🏻♂️
The flex box is stronger and looks better. I guess those things don't matter
if your top priority is strength… just get a metal toolbox. Idk why people are making such a big deal out of the small jump in durability from Packout to flex since Packout has proven to be more than enough for thousands of users. And... Flex is uglier…
@@JakeWeihe there is no question what Market flex is coming for. The strongest.
If flex makes big saws and nail guns. The industry better watch out
What’s up brother. I follow your page over on IG. Just wanted to come through and show some love and support brother. Just subbed and got the noti bell on. Looking forward to catching up on your videos
I appreciate it man! 👍🏻
Well if I copied everyone else’s best components I’d have the best as well, not to mention all the extra parts they copied from all the guys making aftermarket guys 🖕🏻
Haha yeah I wish they innovated more on their own instead of copying
Flex is literally copying Milwaukee every step of the way 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yeah kinda. I wish they did more innovation
None of this stuff comes close to festool
Agree to disagree
You're a Milwaukee fanboy so this *review" seems biased.
A. I’m not a Milwaukee fanboy
B. There’s clear and objective points made about why the system is falling short in this video
C. This video is old. Check out my latest drawer comparison
Come on bro. Flex cant touch milwaukee period
If they just keep copying… yeah. But the system has potential
You seemed bias from the get go so you must be packout fan boy
Nah. I just know what’s better.
Flex takes the 🎂
Have you gotten your hands on a set?
@@JakeWeihe not in home but I got to play with it. I use too own 2 Packout sets. When I found out about Flex I sold them. I was using Flex way before they came here in gray though.
Same name. Different company tho.
@@JakeWeihe just dropped 2k on their tools today, I gotta say, the stacked lithium blows milwaukee out of the water, yes, I've used and abused milwaukee... but flex still shreds it apart
Just picked mines up today. Everything besides the rolling box. Not in stock yet.
Bruuhh this is really bias review
Bruuhhh. It’s a first impressions video. And I wasn’t influenced to say wonderful things like other channels
Any way u making any accessory attachment for the flex stack pack
Yes. My 3D printed system The “Handler” has flex designed top and bottom mounts
@@JakeWeihe ok I will buy in a heart beat
Nearly worthless and pitiful design without drawers. Nobody wants to stack and unstack multiple boxes to get inside them.
Lol. Do you use Packout drawers?
Flex is better
Nah. Do you even have either systems?
Hater
😮
Rigid 2.0 doesn’t have the variety, but it has the best base box.
It just came out. I’m sure they will continue to release more boxes and accessories if they want to have a worthy system
I'm sticking to packout!
Me too
Flex no será el rey hasta que no tenga la capacidad de almacenamiento que tiene milwaukee packaut
Stack pack looks worst than rigid and comparing it to the packout should be a crime
Lol
Tools in Action and Tool Review Zone. Unbiased and successful YT shows Both know the facts- Flex kicks Packout ass without breaking a sweat
Not trying to hate on them, but there was definitely bias. Obviously I also have any biases, but they literally did not point out any flaw that I talk about in my videos.
@@JakeWeihe I thought your flaws were minor tbh, and "real nice like" is pro-milwaukee and Tool Review Zone is one pro-dewalt and one pro-milwaukee. Try Belts and Boxes (sooooo pro-milwaukee) , even they tell it like it is. I have Packout by the way!!!
Good luck with the channel and keep up the content. I'll give you good comments in future. Promise
@@JakeWeihe The problem of ALL flaws you point out are Optional USe
Dont like the lateral handles, dont use it
Dont like the gas struts, remove it
Dont like the multi-layout system on the Lid, Dont use it
People are calling you fanboy because of this, some way how in your mind an Optional Feature is a flaw, All people will see is someone who make money selling 3D prints for the competition trying keep the money.
And Last but no least you claim that Tools in Action and Tool Review Zone dont point out "Flaws", well you dont point out neither from milwalkee
Im sticking with packout I have way to much stuff and the Flex doesn’t have the drawers/ or alot of the other boxes/bags
