Have the Ryobi set for camping. It has allowed for items to be separated by use and stored together. Kitchen items in the small, dishes and cooking supplies in the medium, then off grid batteries, lights, fan and fuel cans in the large. When not off grid, the large box with wheels can stay home.
Love the fact that everything is in one place, easily recognizable and stackable.

I just bought some link boxes. I was comparing both in the store and yea, the Milwaukee is much much more sturdy, without a doubt, but the Ryobi seemed to make a lot more sense for my needs as a DIY homeowner/family mechanic. The walls are thinner, which means it can't take as much stress, but it also means more interior space. Good place to store my power tools.

I like that the Milwaukee is a heavier duty storage system but I'll be honest as a homeowner who's only slightly DIY/maintenance I'd pick up the Ryobi because it's cheaper and will only be used for storage

One thing to note. The Ryobi actually has a larger internal storage.

You get what you pay for I have packout just for my tools in the garage. Wanted something that will last. The quality of the packout is unmatched. I watched hours of reviews and save your money and wait for Father’s Day or Black Friday.

I like the “aftermarket” 3D Printed stuff available for the Packout system.

Really enjoyed this video, I have the RIGID and when I seen how much more space the Ryobi has I jumped on all 3 boxes . Love it absolutely amazing. The Milwaukee is nice, maybe one day. Thank you for sharing 💪😁🔥🔥

The problem I see right off the bat with the new Ryobi is all it would take for is one pebble to get into just one of those locking jaws and the things seized up.
While I don't use any of my boxes every day I actually impressed with my Huskies. They're good enough and they're cheap so I can buy a few sets of them and organize everything (one set for house painting, one for metal fabrication, one for general contractor). They also have a lot of variety one of the new ones is a two-drawer systems.

I got the RIGID three box system some time ago to use for my RYOBI storage and transport box. Tools in big and medium box, blades, bits, etc in the one w/ dividers. In a pinch can stand on. A little surprised Ryobi was late to the game in this instance and didn't copy some of the more useful aspects.

I got the ryobi solely because I have a TON of the link rails in my garage. Managed to snag them clearance at my local HD for dirt cheap ($3/hook, $10/2 pack for the rails, etc) and I love them so much more than the garbage pegboard and shelving I used to have.

Good review, sold me on Ryobi. I've looked at both and the Milwaukee is for those pros you see leaving them in their open truck all the time or in conditions where they may tumble over bouncing into rough terrain. For half price, Ryobi is a great product, with a versatile, quality feel. I'll use it around the house and camping... expecting great things.

I was thinking of purchasing ryobi link in Norway, but i checked the prices and Milwaukee Packout is actually cheaper here.. So i think I'll go for that! Nice review :)

Good side-by-side review. My biggest concern about the Ryobi boxes is that the ability to securely stack one on another seems to be entirely dependent on a spring mechanism. Over time, all springs weaken and can fail even when new if placed under load. In contrast, the Packout boxes are primarily secured by immovable tabs and slots. The only job a spring has to do is push down on a locking tab that prevents the top box from sliding forward. In other words, I would not trust a Ryobi stack to stay together in the back of a bouncing pickup or van.

I agree that they Ryobi system is a win for homeowners, but in the end your comparison actually made me feel much better about the insane prices I’ve been paying for Packout.

They're not competitors technically. Milwaukee is the parent company of Ryobi. Hence the similarities. Fun fact Milwaukee finish and brad nailers and Ryobi Airstrike finish and brad nailers use almost all the same internal parts.

Exc3llent video. What they offered for the price make Ryobi a good deal for that price. For half the price is a great option specially for someone on a budget

[RSST]

Great thing color matters most to most .

[wiredperformance]

Here’s what I can say. Ryobi is 3 years late. Some nice features but also many inferior features. Milwaukee is expensive. It’s also time tested and works great! In 3 years let’s review these! Nice job!

[JohnDoe-ptvt]

Both milwaukee packout and ryobi link have the same ip65 resistance on weather seal. I just got the ryobi link its pretty good, Obviously I"m filling it with milwaukee tools though 🤣😂🤣
