FLEX STACK PACK Storage System Suitcase Tool Box - FS1103

BEST THING ABOUT IT: toughADDITIONAL LIKES: stacks well, accessory tray, optional accessories, struts, handles,WORST THING ABOUT IT: weights ~ 15#ADDITIONAL DISLIKES/CONCERNS: interior not rectangularWARRANTY: One yearCOMMENTS (Function, Appearance, Quality): Very impressed with this unit. It look, feels and IS very rugged. It is made of heavy duty polypropylene, which makes it nearly indestructible (see brick drop video). Unfortunately, all this ruggedness makes it a bit heavy weight in at 15 pounds, but that is easy to overlook given its design and construction. The multitude of accessories is impressive, especially the rails that allow tools and bins to be hung on the exterior while not it transit. It has an aluminum reinforced top handle, in addition to one in front (so you can carry it skinny side up) and two side handle slots. The lid opens & closes easily facilitated by gas struts and forms a water tight seal when closed. It has a fairly spacious interior, but corners are not square owing the the reinforcements in the corners. The QuickDisconnect feature is very nice as other tool boxes snap on and off easily without having to struggle to get it in just the right spot to get it to ‘click’ as with my other stacking boxes. Did I say it was rugged? Well it is. I was so impressed with its design and engineering I also purchased rolling tool box and the open crate from the local blue big box store. It is also reassuring to know it is a product of Chevron/Skil.MOST SUITABLE FOR: A_N_Y_T_H_I_N_GIS IT WORTH IT?: Everything is more expensive these days. These tool boxes are no exception. It hurts a bit to part with this much for a 6-sided piece of plastic, but this is a well engineered piece. Considering how long I think it will last, I’d say you will get your moneys’ worth.*PRECISE RATING: Big ol’ FIVERECOMMENDATION: If you are in the market for a new tool box or tool SYSTEM, you cannot go wrong with FLEX. I highly recommend it.(As always, I will report back if there are any durability issues with additional use.)PHOTO INFO (photos are loaded in order, but may be rearranged when finally posted):1) Exterior from front2) Exterior from back3) Open box4) Interior of box5) Accessory tray6) Hinge & strut7) Heavy-duty lockOn a personal note, I try to cover everything I think one might like to know about each product, especially something not covered in the listing.

I needed a larger storage box for my drill and some other misc tools, so decided to give this one a try. The one thing I didn't pay close enough attention to is the weight of this box. I routinely carry my current box up / down stairs when I'm doing projects around the house, but this box seems better designed to remain in one place due to how much it weighs (15 lbs).So when I add my drill and other tools, it's VERY HEAVY. I can see where these would be great for a construction truck, and the stacking feature looks very useful. It's not a cheap box and appears to be well built (even has small hydraulics on each side to assist with open/closing).Would be nice if it included a couple more of the organizers that are shown in some of the pictures (the ones that attach to the upper portion on the inside) - because otherwise, it's just a large box and easy enough for things to get unorganized quickly.Bottom line for me is this is a great utility box that I am using to store some of my larger, less freqently used tools in, so I'm more organized now, but don't really see myself carrying this beast around.

I have several different stackable boxes, dewal tstak, and tough system, tradestack, packout, and systainers.I think these might be my favorite so far. I have 2 now. The click mechanism is very easy to use and release. The materials all feel premium and durable. All the details ar good like the captured hinge pins being clean and pressed in well. Note they are not the cheapest boxes, they are a mor premium buy, but if you are a tradesperson or serious about transporting tools these will be worth it... for the diy type they are probably overkill.Other than the fit and finish/materials the accessories you can get for these are what makes the system. I got a cord holder, and a level holder, so holding larger things outside of the box that are needed is a big plus.The only real con is the weight. it is heavier than other boxes, by a not insignificant amount, but those metal mounting brackets and materials make it seem like its worth the weight.For my use case i may get a wheeled box for a rolling option, but its hard to justify the premium as i only do smaller jobs on the side vs an actual contractor. When i was an AC contractor though these defiantly would have been my go to boxes had they been around back then.

The FLEX STACK PACK Storage System Medium Tool Box is a sturdy and fairly durable toolbox that's very useful and versatile. It has the size and strength to hold an endless variety of tools and equipment for both homeowners and various trades. It's comparable to the Dewalt and Bauer medium boxes at a slightly higher cost. I use these boxes mostly for holding tool systems (tools with all of their accessories and attachments), primarily due to their shelving and stacking capability. The latches on this box work very well and do not open due to flexing when being carried. The box is easy and comfortable to carry even with considerable weight in it. The box is lockable if needed using a common padlock. I honestly believe the Bauer medium box is a better choice based on cost but, I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of the FLEX STACK PACK Storage System Medium Tool Box and consider it a very good value!

This rolling tool box arrived today with the handle snapped off. When I first looked at the wheels and build, I thought ”Wow, this looks solid.” Then came the curiosity about the loose piece, then time to lift it from the box by the handle and… Aha! That loose piece is the top of the handle. Snapped right off of there in shipping. I suppose I can bolt a 1x2 of there to replace the broken handle. Still – what kind of plastic is this thing made from that the handle can snap off like that. Time will tell.I attached some images of the broken handle. It snapped so cleanly it almost looked like it’s supposed to be that way.The sad part is that the rest of it seems to be pretty well made. It’s even fun to spin the wheels because they have such a solid heavy feel to them and because the bearings (not cheapo bushings) keep ‘em spinning a while. Yup – gas struts to hold the lid open – nice touch. Oh I hate giving this thing only one star, but what else can I do with that snapped off handle?
