Interesting to see from 13:57 that a stacked high DeWalt Toughsystem will tilt a lot more than both TSTAK and Packout. Other reviewers have also highlighted this. Some have recommended buying clip in mushroom shaped inserts to reduce the tilt.
If you wanna try them out, my solution to being a weekend warrior, DIYer was the Craftsman versastack system because of a deal where it was free with the purchase of a versastack socket set. I figured it was a versitile enough system because tstack and craftsman versastack are the same boxes and cross compatible. I have the but sets from dewalt to attach smaller boxes to the top of my stack (the same as you have but more) as well as the side of the versastack tool set. The craftsman system only has 2 drawer units, but they can be hit or miss. I have 3 and load them with all my hand tools and only 1 of the drawers has dragged so far. If you have a lowes or ae near by you can go in store to check them out and be picky, or at least see if they might be a more affordable option that could work for you.
Maybe the solution is a mix between tstak and toughsystem 2.0. Packout is great but too bulky and when you have a lot of tools in big drawers, it becomes very difficult to move them with your arms. Packout drawers have no handles too. I payed for a lot of packout drawers because was very praticable and cool to have all my tools in boxes. When i decided for the first time to move them in my car, i understood it was a huge mistake. Very heavy for the back, no real handles, so... So now, i thibk i will sale all and take a mix tstak with toughsystem with the adaptator. Have a nice day
Putting 150lbs in the middle of the unit is no way to test. Engineering design always balances "reasonable" customer requirements with cost of production (because ultimately customers are going to balk at a high price). Test the items slightly over the limits of what most customers would encounter (nobody is going to sit on these in regular use over their lifetimes).
Don't worry, Dewalt are releasing another similar but incompatible line soon. Oh and it will have less functions and less accessories like dividers and storage cups. It's OK, a new adapter will solve4everything their designers can't manage.
Very good in-depth review of the different systems!

Also, the versastack boxes have waterproof gaskets on them. Versastack also had a plastic "tote" that is only $20 at lowes and is a very great item
