Going in and out of apartments, I find these need to be unstacked to get to tools. I bought a smaller modular set from U-line that has drawers and the bottom flips open also. Im using it now, but it just seems it won't hold up to going in and out , stack and unstack, to go up stairs and different jobs. I was attatched to the Rigid system and still might go back using a set up table so the apartment i work in doesnt have boxes all opened up over the floor. If Rigid comes out with drawers and a bottom roller that flips open, I'm buying it.👍😊
Thanks Matt. I agree, once you get invested in a specific system it gets too expensive to start all over with another. Milwaukee's Packout is a great system.
The plastic is softer in the gen2 not sure if that's a good thing or not. It would be nice if the milk crate was gen2 because, I cracked mine within two days of use... I almost feel that the Gen2 is much better but, they should of kept the original plastic.
@@starastronomer Thanks. It's kinda a 50/50 toss up on the plastic. I don't have the mid box in gen2 but, being that I do have the original mid tier box, I use that one as a step stool all day long; especially in basements. Very rugged indeed. I do like the new taller heights of the gen2's. & The rubber of the side handles are more robust. Also like the new recessed grab indents that complement those grab handles.
This information is total I need. Thank you.
You're welcome❗️
Interior length and width dimensions would have been nice, but a good thorough review of the 2 boxes.

If I had to start over, I would probably go with Rigid boxes. I am just too invested now into Milwaukee Packout. Enjoyed the review.

Im curious why Rigid? Yes I know Milwaukee is pricey but they offer so many ways to customize your load out.
Great review compare! Keep up!
Thanks so much Alexy.

Interesting observation Gary.
