Robert's recent Ridgid cordless drill review reminded me of their
portable stacking tool boxes, which I've been using for quite some time
now.

OK, how in the world have I missed these? I am in and out of HD a lot during the week. It is no treat for me, in fact, I hate going. I go in, buy what I need, and leave.

Those boxes look wayyyy to handy to me. I will be buying a set to put my "door kit" in. The bottom one can hold my router, its bits, hinge template guide, and the uppers my long driving bits, my hole saws, sharp chisels, extra screws and trim pieces, a few clips of different sized brads, metal cutting recip saw blades, etc.

It would be excellent to not only have all that in one place ready to go when I need it, but the idea of having it ready to go and organized is too much to resist.

I will definitely look for that, and buy it when I find it. Thanks MIKE!

Dewalt has a similar set. Dewalt didn't have the crate (which is what
I was really looking for) but other than that, I thought it was a
better system.

Funny, we were probably both typing the same recommendation at the same
time.
Those are the ones that rival the Ridgids.

These are Dewalt's Cadillac version. They are very cool but more than
3x the price.

Most of that price is the cart. DeWalt has a rolling box in both that
system and T-Stak that is similar to the one in the Ridgid system and much
less expensive. However, read the reviews on Amazon--the deWalt stuff has
some nice convenience features but there's some complaining about lower
quality when compared to Ridgid.

Also, note that there is a Stanley-branded version that is compatible with
the deWalt T-Stak.


And a further note, if you have deep pockets, there are always Systainers,
from Tanos and Festool. And yes, there is a cart for them, at about the
same price as the one from deWalt.
