Comparing NEW TOUGHBUILT StackTech To KLEIN & FLEX Modular Systems At LOWE’S!

I think the best part of this "modular storage war" is innovation, between all the brands popping up there is so many new options for the consumer and each brand had their own spin on the modular design, and puts pressure on packout to innovate again as they did when they first came onto the scene. Also kinda crazy to see Lowes having all these new modular storage options compared to Home Depot, times are getting interesting.

saw the tough built today and liked it instantly. Decided to do a little research before buying. I love the lid assist on the flex, but the dished tops on the Tb have sold me. being able to lay tools, screws, bolts etc on the top and not have them roll off while working on stuff is perfect.

Great review of the three. I went to Lowes in Odessa Texas to look at them for myself. I ended getting the Flex. The quality seemed better. The exterior on the Flex is hard. The wheels on the Flex and Klein are close to the same size, which the bigger wheels are important to me as I will be going up and down stairs as well as loose rocks in substations. Thank-you again for this review!!

We need videos on taking your old tools and organizing them in these awesome boxes. 🙂

Got my first TB stack, very impressed.

Great video, I sold most of my pack out and bought the three box set of TOUGHBUILT . Very impressive collection

[collinis]

Toughbuilt looks great hit I would never buy into it until they release more of the lineup. Too many companies have promised full lineups but have just stuck with the basic 5-6 box setup. For that reason pack out is still winning but could be beat if toughbuilt realeasestgeir lineup faster

Great review! We seen these the other days at Lowe’s and I didn’t have time to check them out then. But as a lover of Milwaukee packouts and flex stacks this really might be the kit i go into. These tough builts look amazing for the prices and they look very adaptable to different layouts.

I work for a company that had all packout in the van, so I am very familiar with all packout gear. I started my own company and I have a ram 1500 with a tonneau cover. Packout did not fit under the cover and the adaptors to remove the handle are all garbage. So that left me looking for some new gear. I was not impressed with the rigid boxes or the dewalt ones. So I went to lowes. I didn't like the locking mechanism for the flex so that left me with klein. Being an electrician I already had a bias towards them. I felt they were too expensive but I needed somewhere to put all my tools and had no other options. I bought and used the mod boxes for a month. My main gripe was that while they are waterproof, if water accumulated on the top and you open it, then all that water drains into the box. And even more importantly the locking mechanism was not reliable, you would have to stop and make sure everything fit well together because the latch wouldn't close. I was honestly disappointed. Then stack teck dropped and I tried them out at the store and I was blown away. I returned all my klien boxes and got the stack pack. They are better priced and better engineered than the competition. The latch mechanism has not had any issues and the latch feel better. For the price I think that they are far ahead of the competition. I'm also exited about the upcoming releases that are confirmed. Klein only just brought out the small and large container boxes and no words on a drawer. The other brands rarely and slowly release new products too. And over all the build quality is amazing, not to mention that they are a subtle black color. I personally hated the bright colors of packout and modbox.

i like the draw units my self. just wish the bottom units on all them could be accessed without unstacking everything

[jamesmcneish]

I own all three and fyi 😊 the Klein roller box lid does lock in place just have to push it into the handle with some pressure and you will here it click in place to stay up

I was torn between the ToughBuilt and the Flex systems, and what really sold me was the warranty. ToughBuilt has a lifetime warranty, but Chervon apparently didn't trust their systems, Flex AND Kobalt, enough to give them a lifetime warranty. Flex does have A LOT of accessories available, but ToughBuilt has a lot coming in 2024, for those who are willing to be patient.

[SWATcop]

Good review of all three. Leaning toward Flex. First, they have a second wave of new boxes and accessories. Second, the TB doesn't allow you to open a box with something on top of it because of the "one latch" system. Third, (and I'm hoping you test) is how well the TB locking points hold up. Seems like debris or other material will get in there and cause it not to work properly.

[brotherheed]

Thanks for the side by side. Found the tough box 3 drawer and wanted one for camping use. Now i may be looking into the flex box system.

About the only things I like with klien is the bottom box is setup to be used with an arbor and spool of wire.

And that it's bright inside, which will help me find dark colored things that go missing.

I love the toughbuilt. 👍. Crap that HomeDepot wouldn’t let you compare. big win for Lowe’s.

[Mando]

Man, I thought TB would come out with more of a DIY/homeowner friendly price but they’re clearly priced closer to the competition. I love their 12 inch tote and my xl rolling tool bag to carry my small set of DIYer tools and m12 stuff. I love that there’s more competitors in the modular tool box scene. Really excited for what Chervon and TTI do with their respective brands in the near future as well as whoever makes TB and Klein.

[ricardocuevas]

I was going for klein, but NOW! I am leaning positively with tough built for me. great VID.!

[wolfgangcubes]

I don't know if anyone has already said but with the klein rolling box the lid will stay bit you have to push it all the way back til it click. Just an FYI

I really love the toughbuilt, and wish I had waited to buy into a brand until toughbuilt came out, just because of all the accessories they have been and are about to release for the system. There is also a big third party modding scene for them budding right now. I have the Flex system, which is great. They are well built, probably stronger than any other of the toolbox's on the market. I have a rolling big box, medium full size box, small full size, two of the 3-drawer full size boxes, a full size divider and a half-size divider that are all amazingly strong. It's about 6' to 6.5' tall when stacked, I use them for nothing but 1/2" to 2" brass pex parts and crimp rings, and different types and sizes of metal straps / hangers and allthread flanges. We roll the set into the job, then remove all the boxes above the bottum rolling box at once to get into it, which probably weights 200-300 lbs when fully stocked! The handles are super well built though and haven't shown any signs of weakness or wear. I get one man on each side of the system to grab a handle and do a deadlift lol. I just wish flex would come out with more accessories for the system like toughbuilt is! There isn't really a large scene for 3d printing stuff for the flex system, so hopefully toughbuilt will kick flex and all the other brands into high gear to keep up! If not, I'm gonna be selling my flex boxes off and buying into Toughbuilt!
