- Ridgid Pro gear system 2.0 initial thoughts. looking at the version 2 of the rolling tool system. the original system was a great system lets hope the 2.0 is such a great success.not sure is Vince @VCGConstruction or Clint @ToolReviewZone could take a look as well
Excellent review from someone willing to take there time and think of the majority of things that need to be covered. I don't care how perfectly you recall, how fast you communicate, but I do care that someone is willing to take the time necessary to cover everything the consumer would care about. I think for the most part you achieved this so thank you. God bless.
Thanl ypu very much for you comment and view. I will be filming my early followup on how I like it so far
Fantastic review
Nice overview thanks Matt!
Great review from someone who actually uses the product!
Nice vid. I just bought the 2.0 set a couple weeks ago, bought the 3 pieces $140. Compared to Dewalt at $200. and Milwaukee at over $300. I’m very impressed with the quality of boxes. Again thanks for the comparison.
thanks for the vid, helped me decide to go get the set of this, i'm so happy I found your video. was looking for a system to organize my tools and your review is very detailed with the improvements and comparison to other brands. also this could make some nice hard boxes to protect expensive radio equipment in transportation, just add some foam or cushion material. 73 from KD2OVM
I broke the wheel on the 1.0 version about 6 months into owning the system about 7 years ago. I needed it to be functional immediately but HD doesn't sell replacements.
I bought a lawn mower wheel that doesn't quite fit the axel diameter.
Shoved it through and NEVER thought about it again. I still use the box every day.
Great review, thinking of getting more of these and especially the base one so I can use all my other boxes with it too.
Great review! Thanks
Straight up genuine solid review. Thanks!
Thank you
100% on the handle striking the hand!!!! I love the 2.0 because of this difference. On the job site pulling lots of weight this is crucial when you're going on rough terrain.
As others have stated, an excellent review.
Out of all the modular systems in HD and Lowes, the Rigid 2.0 system seems to offer the best quality for the price.
My only qualm is that I wish HD would invest a little more in the accessories. There has been talk of a drawer system coming soon as I write this. Yet I wonder, given the current (Nov 23) issues between Israel and Palestine, if those will be delayed.
I totally agree on the accessory front. Drawers would be nice along with little boxes and that’s where Dewalt gets it very well. We will have to see how the front of Israeli Palestinian situation continues. For those who don’t know the system is primarily made and Israel.
Awesome job with the comparison. As little as it may seem at first, there's so many things to consider when making the first purchase that you've taken a ton of the mind boggling small details and exposed them. Sometimes there's so much that I can't keep it straight in my mind. Thanks!!
Thank you for tour comment
Great Review. Thanks
Great review! Good honest evaluation of the boxes. Better than many of the tool review channels. You should do more tool reviews.
I have several reviews on other tools. Thanks for the view and comment
That’s great that there compatible with previous generation. That’s a big deal to encourage new converts to go with Ridgid.
I just bought the 2.0 rolling box and the cold box! Way I figure is a yeti is $400 and has no mobility. This set up is made for strength and has wheels! Tailgating, camping, bonfires this set up is awesome! And both only cost me $165! Excellent video sir I like your in depth analysis and personal experience!
I also got the half box that I need to review. That cooler is awesome and the system is a nice improvement. Thank you for the view and comment
The cups are REALLY useful if you have the right tool belt. I have occidentals. Was doing siding yesterday and needed five types of fasteners throughout the day, I can fit 4 different cups in my left side pouch and they’re all organized. Also if I’m using Ramset nails, I grab the cup, put it in my belt, then when I don’t need them I just swap the cup for whatever else I need, so you don’t end up with 10 types of screw and fittings at the bottom of your pouch you have to reorganize
Im definitely doing that! Thanks for the comment. That’s awesome
Awesome Review. Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Good and practical review, helps to give more reasons to buy System 2 over the "other" brands
Excellent info on the new system. Much better than you get at the Ridgid website. I bought one and am impressed by the quality. The only thing I DONT like about the new system is that the 9 inch wheels on the dolly are not common. Lawnmower wheels are normally 8 inches and relatively expensive buying them aftermarket. Im always thinking ahead as to how I will fix something when it breaks. I hope Ridgid offers replacement dollies and orange trays. The video as good as the product, thanks.
I will say this i have beat the new system i have beat the snot out of the new wheels with no issues as of yet….yet. Thank you for the view and comments
I prefer the top that comes off personally. And the tool organizer that came with it. But I can tell I’m gonna like the removable handle WAY better.
Waiting till Black Friday and I’m gonna fill my new garage with them
I think I’m just gonna buy the XLs and clear organizers
The 2.0s are an improvement, in my opinion. I just want to see some drawers! Good review. Appreciated and enjoyed it.
A drawer box would be good
Thanx been looking at this system going to replace what i have you may have sold me lol😊
Was about to buy system 1 in Australia. Going to wait for system 2 but it might take 10 years to get here.
I really wish they sold some of those orange bins separate.
Some type of external attachment system for things would be nice too, like a clamp for fish sticks/rods to ride on the side, or a hook for an extension cord.
That would be cool!
Very nice review. The padlocks were important for me as a DIY weekend warrior as my teenage kids get into my toolbox and don’t return them where they belong. I hate having to go on an Easter egg hunt for tools when I need them.
Oh yea been there before. I am working on a followup on how I like it so far. I'll give ya a clue....I like it and also have some stuff to get use too
I wish they would make those dividers for the large bottom box!
I saw someone a few days ago who posted a video with the drawers. Looked really nice. They said they’re supposed to be available online mid December, and available in stores next year. We’ll see if that’s true. If it is then they’ll be available online within the next week or so.
Longest storage review in UA-cam history... Literally
Exactly the review I was hoping to see. Thank you .
You should rename the tags and title for more hits on this video. As this video did not appear on my search results. I only saw it when it was included in the recommendation videos right after watching another tool review.
Perhaps putting Ridgid Pro Gear System "Toolbox" v1 vs v2 would help it pop out higher in the results helps.
Thank you i was wondering why the low view count thank you!!!
@@n3qdz
I actually looking for a direct comparison review a few months back and found nothing then I decided to get the v1 since its on clearance. Though I just watched this the day I commented, I felt justified on my purchase.
Not only did you featured both, you also compared both in details.
@@oneyedthing that’s awesome I’m glad it helped, thanks for the view and comment
You sold them to me. I am getting a 2.0 stack tomorrow. Thanks
You will love them
I definitely want to get the new base box and drawer box but i use the original box as a seat and i wonder if the 2.0 will hold me or not.
I have some gen 1. Only complaint is the side latches are sometimes hard to connect. That being said. I love these as a budget option. Pack out has a degree of vanity IMHO.
Such a great video, very nice to see what the old system looked like with tools in it, how the closed case system in the new one will work or what could be improved with further accessories, and how taking the wheel wells out of the new box opens up more room for big tools to fit next to each other.
what i was hoping to see with having the old system and new system was interchangability of the old accessory system fit in the new system. could the medium box be put onto the wheel base, could the small box be put onto the wheel base? how the old system look locking into the new system?
also, could you show what you can fit into each box in terms of power tools? the circ saw and another tool, then placing the accessory boxes in the top? does a recip saw fit into the medium box and then the accessory boxes? can the small box hold a recip saw, or is it likely to just hold various hand tools or ratchet wrenches with deep sockets?
would you be willing to do a part 2?
The new half box will not work with the old system. I am working on a “how has it been going” video since the switch
The medium one on version 2 is on sale for $39!
maaaannnn im going too get one now. good job
Thank you
Dammmmm it I got the 3 pieces and the top too 203 dollars out the door
@@robertdominguez1896 awesome I hope you like it as much as I like mine
Some great info here. I have the old system plus a few extras. I saw this new system and was a little jealous, mostly at the changes to the base/roller system. I was happy to find out I could just buy the new system and still attach the old boxes. I think DeWalt is literally on their 3rd design. Their most recent design looks to be their best, but will it be obsolete and non compatible with their next system in 4 years?
Went to Depot yesterday just to check the system out and everything was sold out EXCEPT they had except they did a single roller base unit and it was on sale from $89 to $69, so I HAD to grab it!!
I lime the base i did have a handle failure to lock. I reset the handle and it was fine after that. I am up in the air about the orange container. It’s just something new to get use too. It inside is slightly larger and the detach wheels are super nice
It's amazing how these toolcarts help you.,, like a true buddy.
They've got to make some drawers ! I have the older version and they're durable,love the way all the handles are designed, very strong !! They are easy to stack and unstack . I really dont get the philosophy behind locking them together like Milwaukee does. You have to take them apart up and down stairs ..
But yeah a few drawers would be nice.
Actually there is a cheap system , where all the boxes open up, without unstacking . I think is called Stalwart.. but too flimsy for a tradesman..
PS, the older system handles are easier for me, you can grab both handles to lift it in the truck.
Thank is one thing I might like are drawers. I have a Dewalt tstak and they have drawer modules. I still am up in the are about drawers. The 10 compartment organizer and that has always done well for me. I find the drawer modules when you carry them because the handle is on top a bit wonky to carry. Tank you for the view and comment! soon I will be dong the followup on early impressions for working out of the new system
@@n3qdz I was thinking about the tstack. I think Lowe's has them under the Craftman brand. I don't see Dewalt any where except on line and they don't have much selection. I'm just thinking of just maybe buying another Rigid rolling bottom box because of the improvements. My old set is probably 10 years or so. The handle design is superior and more heavy duty than all the brands..
I guess I'm not buying unless someone has a good system where you can access tools without unstacking . My only complaint is that in a customers home I have to unstack them , which can get messy..
Thanks for review and tips again!
@@recyclespinning9839 one thing I absolutely hater about the tstak it how you attach them together. the latches I feel are flimsy. I have not broken any YET but if i'm not careful...the other issue I have with the latches is that if and when you forget to open them up you gotta pick up the box on top the open up the latch on the lower box.
i have seen a easy mod for tool boxes etch prim the inside then paint it white makes it much easer to find things in poor light
Good idea
New subscriber here. Thanks for your video. I am looking for tool storage solutions for both the home shop and mobile projects for a hobby guy. I am not organized for the most part, so I need help. When I have a place to put the tool, I can put it up when finished in it’s home, but figuring it out it not my strong suit. Haha. Again, thanks for the video! All the best!
What you will find, once you start using any of the rolling tool systems it will by default organize you. I still love the systems. Out of all they systems its the lightest, most durable and correct capacity out of all of the systems. The packout is too heavy unloaded. The size could hold more tools but the ability to lug it around is a problem. The dewalt systems are good but the connection system is a pain. Thanks for the view and comments
@@n3qdz Thanks for your reply. This interaction makes UA-cam valuable to me. I still have organizing to do in the shop/garage in addition to tools. I just got in from clearing away stud clearance where I am going to put up some wood walls. Good thing I am not doing this for a living, those little bits of prep work take time. Haha. Thanks again for your feedback on the rolling tool systems. I was leaning toward packout before I saw the weight and cost.
@@brentjohnson6654 I had a buddy with packout and its very nice; super nice. He had it cut out for each tool and the whole stack look amazing. It was a total waste of space. Another guy on the job with him had his tools just in the boxes was fine but they were too heavy to want to mess with in and out of the truck. I really like having the ability to remove the handle. I need to do a followup on what I like and what is not yet working. The connection between boxes is super sturdy and work very well
Great review. when is Ridgid going to release a Pro Gear 2.0 two-drawer tool box?
I would soooo love that!!!
I love my 1.0 ridgid boxes, idk if I’ll get the 2.0 system
Well, the old system will integrate with the new system. The rolling box is so worth getting and integrate with your old system. The detachable handle and the new design of the handle will save your knuckles
I heard the handle on the cart is weak and easily snaps. Have you had any issues with it?
I have never broken a handle off of it and I will fling to boxes into the back of my vehicle using the handles with zero problems
One other comment I have is that the rolling boxes look good, but to use them in the shop at home requires you to pull the top boxes off to get to the lower boxes (that is if I was wanting to use these boxes for local/home storage). Make sense? Thanks again for your videos. NOTE: I am not asking you to defend it, just trying to figure it out, really.
You can (of they are attached together) open a lower box with ones on top. The limiting factor is you can’t go any lower with opening the boxes, the handle is in the way. It can be overcome by removing the handle. It does do well on-site for ground clearance. One issue I now have found out is the tires will hold onto mud in the treads of the tires than the old system.
Do bins fit in the gen 2.0 suitcase box?
I'm not sure exactly sure what bins you are talking about. if you are asking about the dividers and trays that come with 1.0 system; they do not fit the 2.0 system. I hope that answers your question. if not, just ask it again. thanks for the view and the comment
Will the version 1 connect to version 2?
Absolutely i just put up a video on that subject
I wish ridgid had a drawer system
You and me both!
They drawers are out boys
@@n3qdz I just picked up 2 of the drawer boxes!!!
@@Tiersmoke92555 where did you get them??? Talk about a game changer

Just put a shim/spacer in there. These things shouldn't have these problems. For the money this sht shouldn't be happening.
