I just bought this from Home Depot. I returned the Dewalt tough box when I saw this. The Dewalt is great but the Husky is lighter and tough enough for what I need for work. This is one of my best tool purchases so far.
Looks pretty decent, but for the price point it's fantastic. I'll keep using my packout system for every day at work, but I might just pick up this husky one for camping gear! The little internal organizers look great as tackle boxes and little kits for carabiners, fire starting, etc.
I use mine to sell drugs. Cops never want to search when they see what they think are a bunch of tools. Oh yeah, there's a bunch of tools back there officer.
7:00 He talks about the connect/disconnectors being "two handed opperation" and says a few brands that are two handed. Though, he puts Rigid in there... From my experience, considering i have rigid 2.0 in the cab of my truck and in our big trailer, Rigid boxes are easily 1 handed. Pop the bar off and then move it slightly sideways and the other comes out. THen just pull by the connection bar closest to you. You can disconnect and tote the rigid boxes 100% with one hand.
I was very impressed. This is not thin cheap plastic it’s actually pretty rigid like packout. The connections don’t feel cheap and it has some awesome features. I’d put it at number 2 behind packout, for the money it’s competitive.
Great presentation! I have had my Packout system for a while now and am very satisfied with them, they have held up nicely. Additionally, as others have mentioned, there is a ton of factory and aftermarket accessories available for custom configurations. As the Husky boxes are at a good price point, I would consider them for other applications.
Thank you, you are the first i have seen to review this system. It seems to be along the Ridgid line with a couple mods. Its decent i guess but other than that little clear organizer fitting in a couple places it doesn't offer much in the way of organizing your tools. Once again a center mounted handle and two hands to unlock a box. The outer rail is a plus, seems like OP can do a few things with that. Thanks again for the review brother .
The cool thing about the small tool box at the top is that they make a mechanics kit that specifically fits in it and even a foam liner to keep everything in place, it was perfect for me since I do lots of mobile mechanic work
First two features sold me on it already. Nothing like having a table or something to work off of in the field. Also, the Milwaukee always felt cheap to me. Especially the wheels. Glad these have rubber one. Usually just carry veto totes/bags and a belt but I'm getting old. Imma check it out.
The closures are no joke. I caught the side of my finger in one the other day and it f'n hurt! For those who are waiting for add-ons - I realize not everyone has a 3D printer, but I'm assuming most of you have reasonable skills and all sorts of tools. I've been making add-ons from scratch and from other things I find at home and at stores. They'll work for what I need them for until when/if Husky comes out with something better for my needs. It really depends on what each individual uses their toolboxes for and how they use them.
I bought the previous version a year go full kit for 89.99 loaded that baby up with everything I need in my ford transit HVAC install tech they are built to last and affordable highly recommend it save your money Guys
I hope they expand this set right here. Seems like a real gift set and it meets the price point. You can do a lot with if they expanded like drawers places where you can put a level and extension cord.
I just saw these today. I was blown away by the quality. It was by far the sturdiest out of all the boxes I checked out, including Milwaukee. I kinda wish I would've went with this set up. I would trust it falling off a roof, literally.
I have a full set of the Ridgid system I use for my camping chuck box, and I have 2 Packout small parts trays with the rack mounted on the wall of my trailer. Both are great systems, but it’s good to see Husky deliver a much more affordable product. I know a lot of contractors and tradesmen, and spending 1000 bucks on a tool box hurts.
I hope they put a magnet with the system like it is on the Klein, put some drawers with this kit and bigger and longer box for those larger and longer tools, then they will pick up some new customers like myself. I like how reasonable those accessories are. Everyone keeps changing their boxes so you have to reinvest in another kit because they're not expanding it anymore.Smh. I hope husky keeps this set going and expand it. They are on to something. Thanks for sharing
For similar price point, the Craftsman tradestack imo is leaps better than the husky for the sole fact, the lids don't hit the handle. Tradestack lids also have detents so the lids stay locked open when completely up. Tradestack also has DRAWERS, which is big for me. Love having drawers. Plus with the tradestack, dewalt Tstak and Versa stack works with it with an included adapter plate if you buy the roller base. So much more versatility with the tradestack IMO. Good video though!
Check out the deep organizer that snaps in to the build out! I just bought this system tonight. Im real excited to put it together tomorrow at work. Im an electrician so the organizer was a huge turn on for me since it clicks into the tool boxes. Not going to lie- i went to Home Depot to buy Dewalt. But their organizers dont go onto their boxes. This Husky system just impressed the hell out of me. Thanks for the video!
They always come up with something cooler after I’m already outfitted with the coolest 😂😂😂. I have some humongous husky boxes so I bought Milwaukee packout to help save my back, now this haha
@@JakeWeihe I’ve had the wheels fall as well, big Stanley boxes the same, but they are both ‘back of the truck water tight’. Just tooo darn big when full to move in and out or up and down. They are fine for ramp door trailer as far as I’m concerned but the smaller boxes are the way to go with trucks 💪🏽💪🏽
I think the main reason why packout is the most popular is because of all the different tool boxes and accessories as well as the one-handed release mechanism. I was considering flex but for the same price with much less attachments/boxes and a two-handed release mechanism, I might just go with packout once my Toughbuilt XL rolling tool bag can’t fit most of my essentials/ breaks down. This husky built out feels really solid since my Home Depot is full of them but I do not like the two-handed release system. It is very affordable and I can only imagine it getting even cheaper during the holiday deals so that’ll be interesting. It is already beating out the craftsman and kobalts for similar quality with a better price. Once they decide to make drawers, these can become people’s affordable favorites. Great video as always!
@@JakeWeihe agreed! I love my pouches and the rolling bag! Their hand tools also seem really good but all I have from them is a pair of 10 inch channel locks that were on clearance at my Lowe’s that I’ve yet to use. I’m kind of disappointed in flex, they haven’t released anything for the stackpack pretty much all year after such a promising start. I would’ve expected at least a tool tote like Milwaukee has by now
Nice! I’m not gonna say “I told you so” to everyone about stackpack but I just had a bad feeling about them. Way to much money spent on marketing and free stuff to influencers that made one complimentary video and never talked about it again
Damn, might have to pick these up. I really like the packout, but i wouldn't use it enough for the price point. Thanks for the breakdown! Gets the sub!
husky did fix that lid sticking up, you need two extea connect crates sold separately, once you uave the last piece at the top, it folds onto handle for suppot
Looks like a good system. Will have to see it in person. I have the Milwaukee packout and love it. However, similar problem going to be with this version with the tray feature in the top lid of the small tool box - going to hold an ass load of water from the rain when in the back of my truck. It’s a pain with the Milwaukee system, too.
I bought the huskey. Went to Home Depot to pick it up.. I noticed the wheels were bent. So they brought another. I inspected the wheels. Straight garage. Long story short, I went online and bought the milwaukee. You get what you pay for
No company is immune to quality control and store inventory issues. I ordered my first PACKOUT stack online too and when it arrived, a wheel was wobbly because the plastic around the axel was broken. Had to contact Milwaukee and wait to be sent another wheel. After inspecting them at the store, I’ve purchased 2 Husky rolling boxes so far and haven’t had an issue with the wheels.
In the Connect system (as well as some others) putting the handle down makes it act as a foot, that keeps the box from tipping over as easily. You're supposed to put the handle down to keep it stable. I imagine that's why they don't fix the lid/handle issue.
Yeah the handle doesn’t touch the ground. The rolling box has a much wider stance than the connect system. The connect system is tiny in comparison to all these other boxes
I used the previous generation modular toolbox from Husky for a portable power station, with a 100ah LFP batter, 20 amp charge controller, 12v 1,000w AC inverter and a 12v DC loads panel. This new "Buildout" model would not work as well, due to how it's molded.
So far looking good, I’m impressed for it to be Husky and the price point. I just picked up the set myself. Accessories and organization are very limited, if you make some solutions for the build out I would definitely purchase them!
I’ve been leaning towards the Dewalt system because of the water/dust sealing. My main truck has a cap on it but my backup truck is just an open bed. You didn’t mention it but looks like there is a red gasket on the Husky lids that would make them seal as well. Definitely worth considering, but I do want small parts/tool organizers and drawers too.
@@JakeWeihe it would be used to step up to a sleep platform in a wedge style camper. Wouldn't be continuous, just momentarily used as a step. Do you think it would hold up after time?
Drawers I want drawers! Those are most important to me so I can access everything without unstacking. The connect drawers are only $40. That’s why I use husky connect. To get a bigger drawer I cut the bottom off of the top drawer. If Packout was cheaper I would have bought those. Ideally the dolly with the packout cabinet and drawers but too much money. I don’t even need it to slide just a hinged door from the front for easy access like the Packout cabinet. None of the rolling tool box prioritizes this. I don’t want the big bin attached to the wheels
I need a way to attach these to a cable lock. I work out of town a lot, and am in hotels, and people suck. I have 2 stacks, and if I could attach them with a cable lock to the tie downs in my bed, it would be great. It’s a pain to haul these in and out of hotels.
@@JakeWeihe the cables I’m looking at have a loop on them. I think I’m going to use a bar stock like you showed in your video down each stack, and run the cable between the box and the bar, just need to figure out a way to lock the bar in place. Padlocks would work like you show in your video, but keeping up with keys scares me, I can see one of my guys loosing them, lol.
Do you know if they are coming out with a 4 wheel dolly base? Lot of space wasted with the two wheel bottom. Would be nice to use as a Mechanics Roll-Away as apposed to a job site box.
I already have my modular system but I do enjoy the rabbit hole! For me, Husky as a brand is way too hit or miss. But that's what I expect when someone sticks their logo on other peoples products. Having said that, It's plastic tubs with wheels to tote tools. It should be up to the task lol. If I were starting out and had a limited budget I still probably go with Ridgid though and opt for the rolling drawers. Ryobi would never be a consideration 😁
It looks like the buildout system doesn't need a caution sign like the connect system should have and it would say WATCH THE FINGERS because the connect system has a lot of pinch points all over.
Here's my observation: this is a viable Packout alternative because the most important feature is just the size of the box. Packout is obviously the best overall, and the shameless clones of its name and look are sad, lol, but once you reach the size and BASIC features of the Packout, you're like 99% of the way to the same thing. It's a box for other stuff. Corollary: the difference between different SIZE/WEIGHT systems is bigger than the difference in features/quality between systems of different COSTS. You will gain more benefit by shunning brand loyalty and introducing more brand variety into your work space. Not every tool or job needs the biggest and heaviest box you have, regardless of the cost. Corollary: adding more organization tools to your existing storage system may provide more benefit than switching systems. I'm befuddled that companies don't offer and support more accessories like hooks and dividers and containers. It's great that Jake is designing and selling his own accessories. Just having the right size cups for your parts is really nice, but really difficult to get officially. These third-party accessories are a real opportunity for people to upgrade the storage they already have.
No one has options like Milwaukee, IE: draws, thin low profile half size organisers, connecting tool boxes. Everything else is just bloody boxes stacked on top of each other
Litterally the fact that they are black are is why i have been considering buying kobalt craftsman, all husky jobboxs.... and so on. Its the main reason i have not spent one dollar on a milwaukee packout and i own pretty much all milwaukee
Might be ok for the weekend warrier/homeowner. Don’t see it as adaptable for professionals. Having the latches on the sides means these are going to take up more space. You’ll always have either have nothing on either side in order to access the latches. Or you’ll have to pull out the stack in order to access the latches. Not having drawers is a deal breaker as well. I can’t see husky investing tons of money in adding accessories. I can’t see how the latching system would allow half cases either. I just don’t see how this system will be superior to Milwaukee for lots of reasons. (For the record, I’m mostly a Dewalt guy using all Packout).
I was at Walmart and walked past the hart tools. They have a pack out box Since it’s Walmart I kicked it and tried to break it. Good deal for 84 dollars 3 boxes
I just gotta say great video but theres a reason the packout is the top in price and use. Ive tried them all. Load them with actual tools not hand tools and tell me which ones hold. Only construction workers know about this.
Thanks. Husky buildout is brand new and has a lot of potential. It holds a box full of hand tools just fine and that probably weighs more than a variety of “actual” power tools.
I still think the husky won't last those springs will wear out quick. They look cheap especially the inserts. The clips will fall off the rails if you bang it by accident
I wouldn’t call it a monopoly just yet. Packout is sold at other stores, Dewalt is sold at other stores, flex is not sold at Home Depot and about 11 other brands aren’t sold at Home Depot
@@JakeWeiheyeah, but rigid and husky seem to be exclusives. Which is bad. I hate i cannot buy from outside usa or europe. The funny part? They have an overseas shipping department but its geolocked… 😂
I just bought this from Home Depot. I returned the Dewalt tough box when I saw this. The Dewalt is great but the Husky is lighter and tough enough for what I need for work. This is one of my best tool purchases so far.

The packout wheel definitely feel on the cheap side, but the rest of the packout unit is solid stout
Replaced my wheels with direct bolt replacements and added fronts. Packout has the best aftermarket without question.
Looking forward to seeing when all of the components are available.
Me too

Great idea for the accessory tray, add magnets to stabilize the tool while in the tray...
I hope they expand this set right here. Seems like a real gift set and it meets the price point. You can do a lot with if they expanded like drawers places where you can put a level and extension cord.
For the love of God almighty I do not need boxes. I need drawers. Is husky going to make drawers can someone answer that
Lol. Hopefully sooner than later
This is exactly how I feel. If I wanted to just pile stuff on top of each other I’ll buy more buckets.
pointless without drawers

Awesome! 👍
Make a lid top like that for other boxes. Those hooks could be used with 2x4s and another box and sheet of plywood to make a table or work surface.
Packout has a flat worktop. Other boxes can have 3rd party worktops as well
They have a organization tray now but needs dividers inside the trays be a good mod for your 3d printing
husky did fix that lid sticking up, you need two extea connect crates sold separately, once you uave the last piece at the top, it folds onto handle for suppot
A great video brother. 😊
Thanks!
I hope they make a longer toolbox that will have these boxes connect to it. Like that husky low profile 29 gallon rolling tool box
Me too. I really liked that box
Looks like a good system. Will have to see it in person. I have the Milwaukee packout and love it.

Truee. Might just be best to cover it. Or maybe husky or someone else will release a convex worktop attachment that deflects water
Very informative!!
The simulations are great. The pretend locking has awesome vanna-esque, informercial vibe.

Thing that makes packout better in my opinion is the the variety of options. To be able to access tools without unstacking the totes
Very valid
Hope they create a Husky tool system on trays that nest into one of the boxes like the Husky Connect system has.
great video husky for me other cost too much. Can you just stack 3 big boxes ? and can you stack just 22 inch boxes as thats what I use now
In the Connect system (as well as some others) putting the handle down makes it act as a foot, that keeps the box from tipping over as easily. You're supposed to put the handle down to keep it stable. I imagine that's why they don't fix the lid/handle issue.
Yeah the handle doesn’t touch the ground. The rolling box has a much wider stance than the connect system. The connect system is tiny in comparison to all these other boxes
I'm a Packout guy but that handle release gotta be the best among of all the systems currently available.
It’s pretty sweet. MODBOX has some nice clips and ridgids trolly design is cool too tho
An abus 70/40 lock fits
When is this gonna come to Canada??? Finally getting to the point where I need a toolbox and this looks great compared to the packout!
id love to see it compared to the trade stack and the ridgid 2.0 with them all being in the same price bracket
It’s in the works
I need to buy a rolling box soon. All I need is the bottom. If I have to many stacked on top it just gets to heavy.
love to know more about your products

yea my only problem ive had with mine is the padlock hole other than that i love it
Thank you :)
I like the red color of packout... its easier to see items against the red background...
really hoping they make drawers
So far looking good, I’m impressed for it to be Husky and the price point. I just picked up the set myself. Accessories and organization are very limited, if you make some solutions for the build out I would definitely purchase them!
Just checked your store again. I'm hoping for some custom accessories for this soon!
Could you make a mounting system for the packout to attach to the ridgid
Would have loved it if you showed internal dimensions. Can't fins that listed anywhere.
Check out my other toolbox videos including my Best of 2023 - I show a detailed comparison of Husky Build-Out, Packout, Ridgid PGS, and Klein MODbox
the top is actually an optimized rolling tray when waiting for a liner to cure
I’ve been leaning towards the Dewalt system because of the water/dust sealing. My main truck has a cap on it but my backup truck is just an open bed. You didn’t mention it but looks like there is a red gasket on the Husky lids that would make them seal as well. Definitely worth considering, but I do want small parts/tool organizers and drawers too.
Watch my latest video for a whole segment on water resistance
Husky came in with a bang
Definitely
do those clip on hooks connect upside down so they oppose each other for cords ?
No only one way
Do you know if the bottom tool box is sturdy enough to sit / stand on if necessary?
Yes but ur not supposed to
@@JakeWeihe it would be used to step up to a sleep platform in a wedge style camper. Wouldn't be continuous, just momentarily used as a step. Do you think it would hold up after time?

It looks like the buildout system doesn't need a caution sign like the connect system should have and it would say WATCH THE FINGERS because the connect system has a lot of pinch points all over.
Haha good point!
Very, very nice... but yet, I still think packout wins. The accessories alone. I know the husky is new and will become available
Can you hang a 4 ft ladder on those brackets for the extension cord
I think they’re rated for 10 pounds each. They might be a little small for a rung tho
can you fit a 2' level in the bottom box on an angle and does it rob too much storage if you can to do so?
A 2ft level doesn’t fit in any rolling box from any company
@@JakeWeihe 😭 I know
Think they'll be making a drawers unit? That would make me want it over Ryobi
Hopefully. Don’t get ryobi. Ridgid is better
@JakeWeihe
How does this compare to the rigid? I really hTe tge idea of rigid latches going from metal to plastic. Thoughts??
@@JakeWeihe Thank you! Waiting for Stacktech's 4 drawer or if it takes too long, Ridgid
Price point it's on point bit so far nothing beats Milwaukee packout 🤷
Milwaukee for FUTURE!!!
Lol
Here's my observation: this is a viable Packout alternative because the most important feature is just the size of the box. Packout is obviously the best overall, and the shameless clones of its name and look are sad, lol, but once you reach the size and BASIC features of the Packout, you're like 99% of the way to the same thing. It's a box for other stuff.
Corollary: the difference between different SIZE/WEIGHT systems is bigger than the difference in features/quality between systems of different COSTS. You will gain more benefit by shunning brand loyalty and introducing more brand variety into your work space. Not every tool or job needs the biggest and heaviest box you have, regardless of the cost.
Corollary: adding more organization tools to your existing storage system may provide more benefit than switching systems. I'm befuddled that companies don't offer and support more accessories like hooks and dividers and containers. It's great that Jake is designing and selling his own accessories. Just having the right size cups for your parts is really nice, but really difficult to get officially. These third-party accessories are a real opportunity for people to upgrade the storage they already have.
😊😊😊
Inside demintions on large box?
Are they compatible with the old stackable version?
No.
Make a clip or latch that holds up the lid to the handle.
What lid?
@@JakeWeihe the top box when its open and it won't stay open.
Or just put the handle down, like you're supposed to. It's not that hard to do and it makes the stack more stable.
No one has options like Milwaukee, IE: draws, thin low profile half size organisers, connecting tool boxes. Everything else is just bloody boxes stacked on top of each other
Other systems will hopefully start to catch up in 2024
Litterally the fact that they are black are is why i have been considering buying kobalt craftsman, all husky jobboxs.... and so on. Its the main reason i have not spent one dollar on a milwaukee packout and i own pretty much all milwaukee
Might be ok for the weekend warrier/homeowner. Don’t see it as adaptable for professionals. Having the latches on the sides means these are going to take up more space. You’ll always have either have nothing on either side in order to access the latches. Or you’ll have to pull out the stack in order to access the latches.
Not having drawers is a deal breaker as well. I can’t see husky investing tons of money in adding accessories. I can’t see how the latching system would allow half cases either.
I just don’t see how this system will be superior to Milwaukee for lots of reasons. (For the record, I’m mostly a Dewalt guy using all Packout).
Pros and cons with everything. It will be addressed in a future video
It is perfect for Building Automation work.
I've asked about this box and where it can be purchased from.But never got a comment back
What is the price of this?That would be my Is buying.
Or going to a different Pack out name Please comment back thank you
Need a dually kit to run 2
Wheels per side.
Good idea
I was at Walmart and walked past the hart tools. They have a pack out box Since it’s Walmart I kicked it and tried to break it. Good deal for 84 dollars 3 boxes
Yeah it’s decent. I talk about it in another video
what are the inner dimensions?
That will work for the next year or so
Dewalt has a system with drawers and it's quite a bit less than Milwaukee
Sorry, Milwaukee is the best. Quality and strong 💪🏼. Thanks 🙏🏽
Milwaukee packout is black in germany, but i like the Red😢
And most people are the opposite in the us. 😂
Are these boxes waterproof?
They have an ip65 rating. So Water resistant not water proof
I'm torn because I have the Milwaukee cordless vacuum but don't want to pay Milwaukee prices for tool storage.
I just gotta say great video but theres a reason the packout is the top in price and use. Ive tried them all. Load them with actual tools not hand tools and tell me which ones hold. Only construction workers know about this.
Thanks. Husky buildout is brand new and has a lot of potential. It holds a box full of hand tools just fine and that probably weighs more than a variety of “actual” power tools.
Just saw them at home cheapo the other day.
It's a 2 draw not a 3 door like ridged
I still think the husky won't last those springs will wear out quick. They look cheap especially the inserts. The clips will fall off the rails if you bang it by accident
Woah so home depot has a monopopy on tool boxes? That is just sad. Is there a y other store that carries rigid 2.0 boxes?
I wouldn’t call it a monopoly just yet. Packout is sold at other stores, Dewalt is sold at other stores, flex is not sold at Home Depot and about 11 other brands aren’t sold at Home Depot
@@JakeWeiheyeah, but rigid and husky seem to be exclusives. Which is bad. I hate i cannot buy from outside usa or europe. The funny part? They have an overseas shipping department but its geolocked… 😂
No cons? Is this a paid ad then?
no... I did mention some cons. They just arent that big of a deal at this budget pricepoint
Drawers. Only drawers are important for me - and other people who work on site.
Ok get modbox then
