RIDGID Pro Gear 2.0 Rolling Drawer Stack Update

This is a 3 month update on my RIDGID Pro Gear 2.0 Rolling Drawer Stack setup after putting it through its paces in the field.

I bought my first Ridgid Pro Gear box in 2015. Despite having a few scars from being tossed in and out of trucks for almost 10 years, it is still solid as the day I bought it.

Thanks for posting update .Look forward to 6 month review .

Thank you for your real-world review. Your rugged, hardworking hands alone are the best indication of the durability of the Ridgid Gen2 rig. I am DIY woodworker and own several GEN1 Ridgid boxes. I'll soon be purchasing the drawer box. God bless.

Thanks for the review. I have so many of tool box but not yet drawer. Having the draw will allow me to want to use it more.

Very informative and concise clean video. Great job. So far this is the leading contender for what I'm looking for.

really good video, looking forward to the next update

Thank you for doing this update video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to buy rigid drawers, Flex drawers or Klein. This has been a big help and I love that you showed the drag. I currently have packout drawers and I've talked to other people and all the packout drawers seem to drag basically empty. These look amazing compared to the packout drawers I've seen.

I'm A Plumber, plan on doing the set up like you have, 2 big drawers on bottom and 3 or 4 drawer on top, for hand tools, I got the 1.0 box's, but the drawer's I believe will make life so much easier and detachable wheels cart to switch things up with another box's depending what I'm working on

Man great update. I remember now watching a few months ago the video of you making the wood top and the side case. I’ve got some things on my set after 2 months of use. I’ll need to make a video as well. Glad to see the update on yours since you remove them everyday whereas mine stay in my trailer. My hand truck attachment is still brand new. I searched high and low for extra drawer dividers and now I would not buy more of them lol. They don’t stay secure bouncing around at 80+ around Houston. Drawers so drag as well on mine. I try to keep the heavier items around the edge like in the fasteners drawer. These are by no means comparable to Milwaukee Packouts or StackTech but it was the right price. I’ve also had the older Ridgid cases from 10 years ago so the compatibility is nice. Now two variations that I think they are missing is the 3 equal drawers and the single large drawer. The 3 equal drawers are actually more useful for power tools like drills and impacts. The single for saws etc.. overall I’m happy. I have 1 - 4 drawer, 2 - 3 drawers, and 2 - 2 drawers. May add a second 2 drawer that I’ll modify to be a single drawer.

Suggestion on the latches. You can use zip ties to either wrap around the handle, or around the plastic loop to give it more bite and tension on the spring steel things. Hope that makes sense. I had to do that to my Gen 1 boxes since they changed the profile of the plastic latching hooks. Appreciate the update and your time to making the video.

Thanks for the update. I bought a set recently and like it.

Great video man. Those latches eventually gonna go. They need to make them user replaceable.

Just got my drawers today finally! If the latch connection wears down over time it could possibly be "fixed" by taping around the metal bar a few times with electrical tape or similar to thicken the circumference and tighten the connection.

Great video! I have some 1.0 pieces and saw the 2.0 3 drawer today…having an issue with the drawer slide came loose on one drawer. Do these snap into place? No sure how to fix.

[pastorjoeyj]

Is the small box side mount something you did custom? I cant find any info on it.

[lordspam]

Hello. How did you organize your sockets in the drawer?

[minigpracing]

Do you know if that 4 drawer will fit on the first system? I have wrenches in one short box, ratchets and sockets in another box... The drawers would be an improvement for me.

[DanS-how-to]

Have you had it in the rain? I’m curious if water will get into the drawers because I’d need to keep mine on the back of my truck uncovered.

[mattblaster]

I see this was about 3 months ago. How's it look 6 months in?

[rspbobthomas]

The only thing I have concerns about this system is that the clips on both sides will be worn out after a while. Can u correct my issue or am I right?

[stazistazi]

Do you think they will do a new crate 2.0?
