Basics

The current Modular Tool Box System by the brand “Rigid”
While not as high quality/versatile as Milwaukee Packout or Klein Modbox , it’s lower cost and rear mounting braket option may make it a good option for storage
- Essentially more durable than a “rubbermaid bin”, waterproof/sealed, and bug resistant (unlike Cardboard Boxes which when in storage can rot and become a Silverfish or Cockroach farm!)

In preparation for moving out on my own (as well as getting more orderly/clean) i was planning storage and as per what i said in the Basics section i think these things are the way to go
In particular the “Large Box”
Went hunting for these, Home Depot had a mixed bag, not QUITE what i was looking for
- Ended up getting the Large Box (which came with the handle-cart bit, and a medium box, but i may return the medium box and order more of the large
What i got for my electrical work tools for work a few years ago with that was a Rigid 1.0 “Footlocker” style Box
- While it was probably “Pro Gear 1.0” seeing if that still interconnects may be neat

Find out the max load for it when in wall mount mode
- Mainly wondering if using the wall cleats is even worth it, or if that only works well when the box is empty or filled with fluff (rather than metal tools or heavy batteries etc)
- A Basic Plywood French Cleat shelf may work better and can support a bonkers amount of weight
- Could also potentially secure it from the bottom, but that is moreso something one would do with packout/modbox, the side latch system progear uses isn’t THAT secure
Do some number crunching on how well they would line up in a Uhaul or van (a smaller box may stack better or vice versa)
If i do end up using the cleats DIY or Buy is a relevant question
- A Video by the YouTube Channel “Bruce Allen Reviews + Repairs” Titled “DIY - Rigid 2.0 Pro Gear Toolbox Brackets - Build Wall Mounting Connectors”
  - Making a lasercut and/or cnc milled plywood version of these may be nice
- I only have PLA as of now and that won’t cut it in Hot Florida Garage / a hot car so on would probably need nylon and when all is said and done it is probably more efficient to buy their injection molded ones if they sell those yet

- This was an excerpt from A Video by the YouTube Channel “JackWeihe” Titled “THE BEST MODULAR TOOLBOX DRAWERS? Packout vs Stacktech vs MODbox vs Stackpack vs Dewalt AND MORE”
- Seems the company Rigid doesn’t have an official announcement video or even webpage…so this was the next best thing for a good overview
