Man great update. I remember now watching a few months ago the video of you making the wood top and the side case. I’ve got some things on my set after 2 months of use. I’ll need to make a video as well. Glad to see the update on yours since you remove them everyday whereas mine stay in my trailer. My hand truck attachment is still brand new. I searched high and low for extra drawer dividers and now I would not buy more of them lol. They don’t stay secure bouncing around at 80+ around Houston. Drawers so drag as well on mine. I try to keep the heavier items around the edge like in the fasteners drawer. These are by no means comparable to Milwaukee Packouts or StackTech but it was the right price. I’ve also had the older Ridgid cases from 10 years ago so the compatibility is nice. Now two variations that I think they are missing is the 3 equal drawers and the single large drawer. The 3 equal drawers are actually more useful for power tools like drills and impacts. The single for saws etc.. overall I’m happy. I have 1 - 4 drawer, 2 - 3 drawers, and 2 - 2 drawers. May add a second 2 drawer that I’ll modify to be a single drawer. Suggestion on the latches. You can use zip ties to either wrap around the handle, or around the plastic loop to give it more bite and tension on the spring steel things. Hope that makes sense. I had to do that to my Gen 1 boxes since they changed the profile of the plastic latching hooks. Appreciate the update and your time to making the video.
I get what you mean about the zip ties on the latches. I may try that sometime. It’s not a concern at this time as they don’t come apart though. But I’ll still try it.
Thank you for doing this update video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to buy rigid drawers, Flex drawers or Klein. This has been a big help and I love that you showed the drag. I currently have packout drawers and I've talked to other people and all the packout drawers seem to drag basically empty. These look amazing compared to the packout drawers I've seen.
Do you know if that 4 drawer will fit on the first system? I have wrenches in one short box, ratchets and sockets in another box... The drawers would be an improvement for me.
I really don’t know. We can only hope as the original isn’t available any more, they are pretty slow on rolling stuff out in that line. I’m guessing they will but when they do it, is anybody’s guess
Thanks for the update. I bought a set recently and like it.
Good to hear, May they serve you well!

Thank you for the input. I agree on them needing the 3 & 1 drawer option. I gave you a sub so I can see that video when you make it.

@@TheJayHamish aw man holding me accountable. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Great video man. Those latches eventually gonna go. They need to make them user replaceable.

Glad it helped you!
Keep in mind, these drawers are not as spacious as the pack out drawers. I really enjoyed the space they provided when I had them.
@@TheJayHamish I didn't know you had packout first. Why did you switch?
@whosnext2005 3 reasons. 1, that color in my field gets filthy really fast and I like clean things. 2, the dragging drawers. 3, the price.
@@TheJayHamish other then the color thing, those are the same reasons I'm looking. Ridgid and Klein are my top contenders.
Are the new boxes compatible with the first ones l am to cheep to buy a new set but would like to find a 4 drawer to replace one in my stack
Have you had it in the rain? I’m curious if water will get into the drawers because I’d need to keep mine on the back of my truck uncovered.
Yes, I have. Not like a torrential downpour, but a light rain to a quick but moderate shower with no problems.
Same! Just think of a way to lock it down because it's a mobile and appealing easter basket to a thief.
Do you know if that 4 drawer will fit on the first system? I have wrenches in one short box, ratchets and sockets in another box... The drawers would be an improvement for me.
They are compatible. I’ve heard/seen many mention they are able to use them with their older stuff. I don’t have older stuff personally though.
@@TheJayHamish thanks, I may have to try one or bring one of mine to the store.
That would be the best bet. Good luck
The 2 drawer on 1st gen mid box.The new drawer box sets forward but side latches work.So the drawer front feet is off mid box 1st gen. Weird
That is odd.
Do you think they will do a new crate 2.0?
I really don’t know. We can only hope as the original isn’t available any more, they are pretty slow on rolling stuff out in that line. I’m guessing they will but when they do it, is anybody’s guess
Why are you doing these updates ? I'll be honest, your first video already sold me on it lol
Because some were asking how they were holding up.
@@TheJayHamish no partner program with Rigid or HD?
@@NZIGNANTI nope
