I have the Husky Connect system and I have to say, it works quite well for my job. I added the carrying tote to the top of the system. I’m a maintenance tech at an apartment complex and I’m able to carry everything I need for any task. I just pull up to one of the buildings, go into the compartment that has whatever tool or tools I need, fill up the tote, then carry it to the apartment I’m working in. If I’m turning a unit, I can just wheel the whole system wherever I need it. Whether it’s the first floor or third floor. The husky system is built very well, very well organized, plenty of add ons to customize your set up, and all at a great price point.
Yeah, I totally agree, they’ll probably come out with some organizer boxes sooner or later. That was number 1 on my 7 missing links video of my wishlist for the Link system. I can’t wait to see what they add to the system.
Question on the Hart System. I have the Hart 3 pack. I use the bottom big bin and Organizing Bin for gaming. The Organizing Bin I use for plastic miniatures and other light stuff. When the bin and bottom are attached, I used the handle on the organizer to help load the system into the car. Anybody had problems with loading and unloading into the truck, causing stress on the handle.
As you pointed out at the end of the video, this is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison as the Link top box is meant for tools or larger items and the Husy and Hart boxes, while being the top boxes on their respective rolling tool box systems, are strictly parts organizers. However you did a great job going into the little details on each one. You also highlight the lack of a parts organizer of any kind for the Link system so far. Ryobi is going to address that sooner or later. But more importantly you gave the Husky and Hart rolling tool boxes some spotlight. They're really good at their price points for mere mortals/non-contractors and usually get overlooked in most rolling tool cart system reviews. Bravo!
I think RYOBI should hook up with you and mass produce what you have done for yourself, it’s a Magnificent solution to the problem that is lacking with their product.
You are spot on about the failure point on the Husky Connect boxes. I have had 4 out of 12 tabs break on theirs boxes. I’m looking into using magnets as the new locking system, but it is still a pain. Dollar-per-dollar though they are a great value if you are aware of the limitations.
How about a comparison adding inRidgid as well? Mine was a 3 case system much like the Ryobi and I think it came out to $119 for the three and it's a pretty impressive organizational setup! I feel it's also a good price point compared to Ryobi in terms of quality, convenience and budget friendly options.
@@livefreeandtoolon yeah locally the set as a whole is sold out but the individual pieces are available and just buying them piece by piece is almost the same thing as paying for the set, price wise at least
Seeing them side by side in the store, the ryobi lid is flimsy, or more flexible, and the hinge isn't as reinforced or as solid. Ridgid has that extra metal link on the hinge to support the top when open, Ryobi doesn't have that, or nearly as much plastic around the hinge pins. The Ridgid internal bins will retain any hardware in them with the lid latched, even if dropped from a couple inches, Ryobi won't retain hardware if it's inverted at all. Homeowner grade vs industrial grade IMO.
One thing that really should be included. In comparison videos is the rest of the product line. Like wall mounts and stuff like that husky and rigid don’t have wall mounts so they shouldn’t be in a comparison together with Milwaukee and ryobi
Ryobi interlock easiest to click together, Huskey crazy good for the money. Hart felt like the latches holding modules together would fail in quick order. BONUS Harbor Freight same as Menards house brand (same tool manufacture and Menards lifetime warrenty, HF 3 months) and both very strong build but again weakness is side latches.
I bought the Ryobi rolling box that came with the LINK medium toolbox and the LINK standard toolbox from HD. Had I seen it in person(I bought it online), I would not have bought it, but I like Ryobi tools so I thought I'd give it shot. I'm not knocking the quality of it, it seemed solid, but here's what didn't work for me. It's BIG, larger than I thought & it just took up to much space in my truck. That's on me like I said, had I seen it, blah, blah, blah. My second complaint is the medium toolbox doesn't have a handle on top and that just doesn't work for me. I don't need everything inside turning over when I disconnect and carry it somewhere separately, that just makes a mess of its contents. The third complaint, is no good hardware storage solution, as discussed in this video. Last, while the locking system seems solid, it means none of the tops are flat/solid or as mentioned before, no handle on top, plus I like a toolbox I can stand on in a pinch. I actually prefer the size of the Husky & Hart, but the Husky doesn't work for me because there is no top to the bottom box when the top boxes are disconnected, so its contents are open to the weather or thieves when the system is taken apart. I just wish the Hart was a bit more solid and waterproof as I like its design and size, and the drawer option.
I believe that the ryobi has to many moving parts and is bound to fail. Not knocking ryobi at all my first impact driver was a p238 then it was the plid02 at one point of time all I had was ryobi then I switched to hp tools then it was ridgid octane m12 m18 fuel only then makita then flex then dewalt and so on lol but like I was saying I can't see the link boxes holding up ill stick to my life time warranty ridgid boxes soon there will be tons of options.... even the new clear top ridgid boxes held up absolutely water proof all my boxes in bed of my truck for weeks of hard rain 🌧 cold 🥶 heat and repeat lol and cheaper than ryobi who would have ever thought?
Hey, quick thought. Do you think putting some kind of soft foam on the lid(maybe even the bottom) of the Ryobi (instead of that wood), so that when closed it will form a seal and contour around any objects inside the case. Video idea. May have to find the right firm/softness and how thick of foam.
Husky is good as long as you don't go animal on it. I use it to carry my electronics and fastners to the jobsite. They are much lesser than the ryobi. I REALLY like the look of it. >In time these will wear if you are rough
I was one of the people that made the request, i have the Hart system and it's good, seeing the difference between the both of them made me realize that while the Ryobi one is way better and more heavy duty compared to Hart is still good. I might get the Ryobi system once they come out with different boxes like he said in the video, i do wish it was cheaper though. Great video still
Honestly, the Ryobi is kind of embarrassing given the price and and modifications you had to do to make it usable. The whole Ryobi locking system, wall mounts, etc, is way over priced.
I agree with this. For a little more you can get a Toughsystem or Packout that is more established and has a better warranty if something does go wrong. The ryobi should be a lot cheaper.
@@MIKEC2000 Limited lifetime warranty according to ryobi. The verbiage in the warranty docs makes it sound like it’s only warranted against manufacturer defects and not if you ran a box over with a car or dropped it off the roof.
i cant find anything about the ryobi i like the depth, the cost, the contours, the connection. i think hart is shit garbage and poorly designed and engineered. i think the husky is ugly black and the connection is good but feels chinsy. the ryobi is the best quality but i would never buy that set for its flaws. if you cut open a ryobi there is a lot of open space between inner and outer walls making it take up a much larger footprint but provide a small advantage in width but the height in the boxes are to shallow i know they wanted a shorter stack for tanu covers but makes the depth less desirable

I really like the Hart and the Husky. Add the 2-drawer unit to each, and I would be totally happy with either.

The Husky small parts organizer is available separately. SKU 890432
The clear lids are polycarbonate not acrylic. Polycarbonate has the best impact resistance of almost any plastic and is used to make safety glasses…

You can't get _that_ Husky screw organizer separately but you can get the superior, two-level one.
you can buy any husky(keter connect) box separately....
@@KallenSC Nope.
@@TheCharleseye yes. Yes you can.

Great video again
The husky grey lock plastic breaks too quick. In a week i had most grey lock ups broken. Hart is better.😁🇺🇲🇵🇷😁
My guy is comparing apples to oranges...
And that was the point and what was requested
I was one of the people that made the request, i have the Hart system and it's good, seeing the difference between the both of them made me realize that while the Ryobi one is way better and more heavy duty compared to Hart is still good.

@@eddyr6141 thank you!
Friction worst than mechanical connetion?? Put Ryobi in dust/sand/dirt...and mechnical will jam and broke!
I have both husky and ryobi. The ryobi is way bigger.

tell the truth..springs do wear out and they do break
At what duty cycle and years of use? The springs wi outlast the plastic
I would be all over that ryobi for $20
Mala comparación la caja rioby es diferente
The comparison was requested because of the differences.
