One thing nobody mentioned is the difficulty of the packout.
WHEN the packout is loaded up “normal weight and use” the cleats want to catch on the front cleats making it difficult to lock them together.
If they were smart the cleats towards the front should be a smaller size to prevent this.
FLEX and Dewalt all you have to do is drop the container on top and it locks.
Milwaukee is stuck though because if they changed the cleats everything prior would not work.
The rubber feet on the flex is amazing. My idiot helpers never would consider rolling my boxes on client floors instead of sliding it. Thanks for making that idiot proof, Flex!
Now compare the compartments that have drawers from the two companies.
Also, load both of them up with tools and push them down stairs, or out of the back of a truck and see which holds up better.
Jeez, I need to go to Lowe's once in a while
Never see these deals at my store.
They are rare right now, still hunting Metabo HPT deals.
$23 for the large box is a killer deal. Wonder if they are being discontinued.
Flex boxes are made in China.
everything is made in china
@@kc0lif A lot of the storage boxes are Made in Israel by Keter.
I was really disappointed that they're made in ComChina instead of Israel.
But it's still what I'm buying when I do get a set.
Flex Tools are not made in China. They’re made in Germany.
Why would you invest in any products made in Israel. It's an apartheid state that regularly violates international laws and engages is ethnic cleansing.@@eiward
You got a hell of a deal at that price! I worked for Lowes for 5 years.. a lot of those days of huge clearance discounts is gone. Other than on sale items, you’re pretty much looking at 10% off.
So if you had that stackpack stacked tight next to each other in a van or something that’s gonna be pretty difficult to get your hand in there a pain to say the least. And because there’s only two contact points how would you do wall mounts? I Like some of the features on the flex but I completely disagree with you on the locking mechanism that was the dealbreaker for me only two contact points and despite what you say it really is a two hand operation I was playing around with them in Lowe’s and was kind of disappointed.
That's a really good point.
Unless they’re sideways. That’s what I liked about my toughsystem. Could unlatch one side and pull it out sideways.
I’m guessing I have the newer packing since my tires have rubber with plastic
Technically the blackout wheel’s also use rubber, it’s just a high durometer rubber.
I already thought that he got „promo” version 😅
You got lucky somebody got stupid at Lowe’s pricing that. Happens with the computer they use don’t ever question it. They will check and change the price.
It should show how flimsy the Pack Out top lid is vs. the rigid Flex lid. I have the Flex system which is more rugged.
Thanks for sharing.
Does the Milwaukee tray fit in the Flex box?
I recently changed my DWST08204 (Dewalt DS400 XL) to the big Flex box (shown in your video) and the Flex has A LOT more storage space. Definitely worth the money, the only thing I wish it had was 2 trays, which is why I'm asking if the Milwaukee fits? (I can get those online)
Thanks!
I’ve decided between flex and Milwaukee and compared both flex is a better material overall compared to the Milwaukee. Packout just feels cheap. The wheels are trash on there as well.
@ultimatetoolreviews do u think the future in powertools is pouch cell batteries or these 36v 40v higher capacity battery platforms?
I think we will see a 40v line from Milwaukee and Flex in the near future, unsure if the pouch cell or a different tech will take over but one will.
Pouch type will likely become ubiquitous at some point in the future. The terminal arrangement allows for a more optimal/streamlined cell arrangement; it can be leveraged to further optimize charge/discharge efficiency. Here’s the rub, practically speaking. The entire industry is established on conventional lithium cells. It will take a long time to streamline manufacturing that’s pivoted towards pouch. Until that can be achieved at scale, the cost will be relatively high in comparison to the current industry standard. There’s a lot to be gained from a seemingly minor change, but scaled up implementation will take years - and that can only happen after they R&D the modified technology to the point that they’re happy enough with it to commit to it.
It won’t be fine when you put in the waterpool, don’t ask how i know 😅😅
Thank you
Make sure there NOTHING on the side of the Flex stack to unlock and take the box out.. MAJOR FAULT!
That’s why you get the drawer boxes at the bottom. That way you never even have to break down your stack. That’s what I did, it’s perfect. Everyone else’s has to take apart their whole system whike I just open my drawers to grab whag j need
Lowes was quick to ditch these and remove them from stores! Everyone around me maybe carried them for 2 months
Go look again
They’re all over the store here
Same here@@Thenuggetfacebottom
I’m not in on that news, what Lowes removed these from their stores?
@@Auto-Bots.Custom.Detailingprobably just his local Lowe's.
I believe the stack pack has lifetime warrenty
Just a one year warranty if you register it.
@@UltimateToolReviews it's really weird the box systems. It's a spin off the way Europe used to do it. 15 years ago. U believe bosch was the first big storage system. But I live in Hawaii. If you our those boxes in the back of your truck that shit is gone.
Ridged gen 1 ,,3 piece set for $100 x 5 lol
Both brands are owned by same company. Great review. Thx
That’s not true at all. TTI owns Milwaukee Tools and Chevron owns Flex Tools.
For $23, can’t beat the flex
It was a crazy deal!
How long ago did you purchase the flex rolling boxes? Wonder if I could find them on that sale still
Yesterday 2/2/23
@@johnyork7235 most places are probably going to be out. I bought it for $90 last week but will be returning and rebuying it tomorrow at that price. The stores around me are all out. For that price I am sure a lot of employees bought them
Man somebody got fired for that price
Something doesn't look right with that packout. I've had packout since it first came out. I've never seen one with plastic wheels. Everyone I've seen has rubber. Also ..... the underside of the lid looks wrong. There should be a place in the center to attach a tic. Are you sure thats not a knockoff?
They revised it a few times over the years, I have an older model
