Good observation on the middle looking latches. I hope your right and they bring out half size boxes and some drawes as well. Ill have to wait for now and see becuase i was about to change over to packout
My other Ridgid boxes don't have those and to me, it looks a lot like how DeWalt just did there half organizers for the Toughsystem 2.0. My fingers are crossed. Drawers and half organizers would stop me from buying anymore Packout I think.
A big plus is that it has a top handle. The big problem with the large Milwaukee and flex boxes is that if you’re loading it from side handles is a back injury waiting to happen.
As suitcase is perfect and I was looking if someone else thought of that! Great presentation.
Haha that's awesome! I'm positive there are others so you're not alone. 😁
I have been using the Rigid tool boxes for the past four years and they are great, no problems, very sturdy, easy to use.
I agree. I love the cost vs quality you get with them. This box and the other two I have, have held up great. Thanks for watching.
Bought the 2.0 full stack and just had to grab the organizer half boxes… so I picked up this 28” box to mount the half boxes on. Price was a bit steep versus what I paid for the 3 piece 2.0 stack, but I needed this for the added length.
You nailed it for the half box mounts. This box was clearly ahead of itself for having the ability to carry the 2.0 exclusive half boxes
Nice, I really like the 2.0 and saw the half organizers in the store for the first time this weekend. If I was so heavily invested in packout, I'd go all in on the ridgid lineup.
I was pretty excited when I saw them announce those half organizers. Let me know what you think of them once you get some time with them. I was just in the store 5 days ago and noticed the price on the 28" bot went up to $89.99. That is crazy.
I got the 28” for $80 so can’t complain… even though right now i could buy the XL 2.0 AND the 2.0 medium boxes for literally the same price- I need the longer box to fit a torque wrench case (that fits perfectly inside)
@@lmlz3 always nice to have a few different size boxes 😆
I bought one of these for my camping gear. I latched the clear top organizer on top filled with all the little things I regularly need to set up camp. It’s a very handy size.
I love to hear that other people use this for camping. I initially bought it for my side by side and I also thought that this would be the perfect box for camping. However, I sold my side by side and I sold my camper so now it just has a bunch of drywall stuff in it. I like the rigid boxes the best out of all the manufacturers for non-tool related stuff.
I use mine for camping tools such as mallet, stakes, hatchet, inflators, extension cord, power strip, firestarters, tent broom & dustpan, and a few other odds & ends. I can leave it outside without worrying about it getting rained on. We I tried to be more minimal I used a Plano utility box from Home Depot.
You read my mind. I've currently got my camping stuff in 2 Plano containers but I don't have the sxs anymore so I'm pretty sure I'm going to transfer my stuff into the Ridgid box for camping. The mobility of the box for camping is a lot nice then the Plant totes I have right now.
Same here
I plan on getting this particular box and putting my framing oriented tools in it (cordless rear hand makita saw, cordless sawzall, framing gun, ect). I feel the longer box really is geared towards these bigger footprint tools and that will help my organization tremendously.
That is a great idea. Now that I don't have the sxs anymore, I've been trying to figure out what to put in this box. I plan on getting a framing nailer so I think I'm going to do the same. Thanks Max. I really do wish the handle on this box would stay out. That is my biggest complaint with it.
@@tgltoday2717 Absolutely. Thanks for the video. Picked one up today along with a second slim case. It will be my drill/impact and bits kit and my old slim case is getting gutted so I can put my double charger and all 9 of my batteries in it again. I really think Ridgid is the best value for the dollar system on the market!
@@717UT I think they are as well. I just wish they would make some drawers already.
Hi there! Thank you very much for your orientation to this tote box! This looks like a really great box that affords some weather and dust resistance, as well as durability.
I'm in the market to find some sort of tote systems to carry in my pickup truck bed (protected by a softopper cap) for extra storage while towing our travel trailer. The travel trailer lacks an abundance of external storage. I'd guess that I'd get one for my wife, one for me, and a few more for just common camping and trailer equipment.
It's definitely a great box. I've taken it out on the sxs a few times now, it comes back very dirty but everything inside is clean. No dust or water has gotten in for me. It's a little smaller then I was expecting, so I'm not sure how much you need to haul in it but the wheels are super nice especially if you are going to be needing to move it a lot like when camping. I do think its priced pretty decent. I'm disappointed that it came out and was $5 less and after maybe a month of being out even though it went out of stock, the price went up.
I have a large Plano tote that doesn't have a gasket but was only $25 at HD when I got it. It's a tad bit bigger then this Ridgid box. If you are storing this in your covered truck, you may want to look at that option since you are looking for 4 or more it sounds. Thanks for watching.
This box is going to be PERFECT for my Next Solar Power System Build! I'll be able to hold THRE Lipuls Mini 100 Amp Lithium Batteries, a 2000 Watt PURE Sine Inverter, And ALL of the instruments the Batteries will run.
That's awesome! Yeah I like this box. Ridgid does a really good job with their boxes I think. I like how weather resistant they have been for me.
I Agree 100%! actually have 2 of these, 2 of the standard rolling boxes and bunch of their crates. The Ridgid organizer is also great! I find that I use these more than my packout stuff. My only complaint, well 2 points, the "sliding" handles are not as robust as I'd like. And the wheels are to small for my liking. So for those situations i will opt to grab my red stuff. But like he says, the value Ridgid offers us here is unmatch in my opinion. NOW WHERE IS MY DOLLY KETTER/RIDGID?!?!?
I'm really hoping after ridgid watched Ryobi release their system, they decide to drop us a few more things to keep us coming back.
I also use mine for camping the latches in the seal make it really hard for Critters to get into our food
I totally agree. I'm very impressed with the way the rigid boxes keep the elements out and how well they work for everything.
Honestly really great review! I was at Home Depot last night and actually saw this tool box selling for $89...kind of pricey but it sure is pretty solid looking.
Thank you. Yes, the $89 price is nuts. When it first came out on HD website it was listed at $50 but you couldn't purchase it. Then when you cold finally purchase it, it was $55 and now they bumped it up to $89. I sold the sxs so now I have drywall stuff in it. It worked well when I had it in the sxs.
Can you share your divider dimensions? Thank you!
It's 11 1/4" wide, 8 7/8" high. The notch on the top is 1" deep from the top and 1 1/4" in from the side. I also had to make a smaller notch on the end of that one that is 1/8" in from the side and 1/4" from the top of the last cut I made. It's hard to explain so start with the normal notch and if it doesn't close right, you will see what I mean. Thanks for watching.
Was it supposed to come with the orange divider because I don’t think I got one
No, the orange divide I made out of 1/4" plywood.
Outstanding review Bro!
Covered everythinggg!
Thank you.
It looks like the RIDGID Cold Box is back on the HD website for $79.97. Unfortunately it's out of stock online and unavailable in store as of right now.
Yup. When I started reading your comment I thought you were telling me it was available to buy. I got real excited for a second. lol
I want to get this but it cost $90 now instead of $50. And do they sell the 2nd tray?
I saw that price hike and can't believe it. I wouldn't buy this box myself for $90. I actually sold the sxs so now I use it as my drywall box. I don't know if they sell a 2nd tray, I do agree it would be nice to have a 2nd one in there. I had to make the orange center divider which I also believe they should just include or sell as an option at the very least.
Hey man pretty good video but at the end or towards the end when you were showing the ATV use for the box and you had a jump kit you do realize that you can jump start your car I mean unless you got something out of the ordinary you can jump start your car with any of those Makita or DeWalt batteries.
Thanks. No I didn't know you could do that. I will have to look into that. That would be a great life saver in a pinch for sure.
@@tgltoday2717 yes sir. I didn't know this either till about a year ago I was working as an installer doing granite countertops and the crew and I I just finished up for the day at a customer's house and were packed up in the truck ready to leave and I'm talking a big Dodge Ram V8 Magnum, well go figure we're ready to go home and the dang truck has a dead battery. Now it seems kind of silly that we got all these grinders and countless other tools on this truck but there ain't a pair of jumper cables anywhere to be found nor did the owner of the company really want to ask the customer to jump him off. I guess he would have been embarrassed lol. Well we got that truck started with a DeWalt battery it sure is I'm sitting here writing this message. So I know first hand from experience that it can be done. You can check it out on CZcams I'm sure there are tons of videos but it's pretty basic positive to positive negative to negative battery to battery.
@@ryanchristopher2207 that's crazy. I'm looking that up for sure. I never would have thought it could be done. Thanks
@@tgltoday2717 hey buddy just in case you haven't gotten around to checking into that, go figure this morning when I went to crank up the tractor the battery was not completely dead but not charged enough to start we had some bad weather last night. So I got to try it out first hand myself and I made a couple videos for you I'll shoot you these links I had to break it into two parts.

Great ideas!
Thank you
What size was the piece of wood?
It's 1/4"
@@tgltoday2717 dimensions?
Milwaukee is just to bulky for me, if you in and out of apartments and homes for remodel repairs. I've actually thought of getting the Stanley system. 3 boxes and you can access all of them while stacked . The only problem is they are not very heavy duty. I currently run the original Rigid boxes. I actually prefer the Gen 1 because you have 2 handles to lift up the rolling tool box onto your truck. The handle goes down further so easier to grab that handle and the one on top of the lid. They have excellent , strong handles on the Rigid. Milwaukee missed the mark, when you grab from the sides , your using your back to much.
I've heard they are same company that builds them.
Too bulky is only good on large jobs where no tenants or furniture, homeowners etc... IMO
That is one of the reasons I like the Ridgid boxes so much is the size of them. I also think the build quality on the 1.0's is top notch. I've got two of the ridgid 1.0 medium boxes and love them for so many things. I just picked up the ridgid crate as well. I think ridgid makes the best bang for your buck. If only they would make some drawers. I can't remember but I think your right on the packout and the rigid being made in the same place. They are both made in Israel from what I can remember.
Ridgid always has great ideas but they usually fall short in the final product. They need to up their game a bit and finish strong. Those lame wheels and the failure to have a locking handle are two things they could have done better.
I totally agree. The handle is a joke in my opinion the way it stays up. It's a pain. I thought the wheels were rather small as well for the size box.
Great video!
Thank you.
Can you mount another rolling tool chest on top? Meaning are they stackable with the same 28-inch box.
Great question. Unfortunately no you cannot. This is made to be just the bottom box and then you can mount all the other side boxes on top except for the other bottom rolling box that has the wheels.
Can you buy an extra tool tray?
I'm really not sure. I never thought about it since I was using it for the side-by-side, but I've also never seen it on home depot's website when I've looked for anything related to the Ridgid tough system. I guess it's probably something we'd have to check on origins website to see if you can buy.
Awesome review thank you. Question, you measure width and length, whats the usuable height?
Thank you. Usable height is 9.25". The lid has a bunch of like cross sections for strength so you could potentially get a little extra height if you have small things that stick up but straight across 9.25" is pretty much it.
Would be cool if they added a Molle panels like Pelican. Wouldn’t be hard. I just purchased the whole 2.0 system.
Yes that would be nice. Sweet. I really like the new 2.0 system. I kinda wish I had it. I've got most of the 1.0. What is frustrating to me is this box when released but they didn't really have any to buy was $50. I got mine for $55 and I just saw ita now $79. Let me know how you like the 2.0
Nice review !! 👌
Thank you.
19:29 I use mine to pack up all my camping stuff all in three boxes all in one place. ⛺️🌳
Love it. I've seen others use the original three boxes for camping and they are hard to beat.
I take Ridgid boxes over pack out simply because I have already invested in them and have not been impressed enough to invest in a new system and retool all setups and kaizen foam organizing
If what you have works, I wouldn't spend thousands switching to packout either. I love the Ridgid boxes. I think they are very well built. I just want them to come out with a few more options. Thanks for watching.
Gun and ammo storage.
😂 definitely fit a lot of ammo in there.
should have left the water on top and then opened it to see if the water runs into the box on the hinge side like the dewalts do. in real world someone isn't going to dump the water off before opening it when it' s full of tools.🤔
That is a good point. The water runs into the regular box on both my Packout box and Ridgid boxes so I would have to guess this one will be no different.
The Cold Box isn't worth the $70- they want for it. Mine would barely hold ice for 24 hours until i lined the inside with Reflectix. You would be better off getting a Playmate at a yard sale for $3-, and you'd have about the same performance.
Good to know. Thank you . I've not been able to get over that price either and if I'm going to spend $70, I want some good retention. I know days of ice retention aren't needed on the jobsite but it doesn't mean i still don't want it lol
Does the crate latch on top?
yes
@@tgltoday2717 I just walked out the store with it 😂 thanks
Sweet deal. I hope you like it. Glad I could help.
Where did you get the divider from?
I made it out of 1/4" plywood.
Woulda been funny if you kept pulling tools out.Then a bag of groceries,bowling ball ect 😂
Haha you are absolutely right. Now I want to redo it just for that.
Oh yah say,Remember the good old days when a box was a big box from ridged 😝 When comparing the new one 😂 Then loop pulling stuff out in fast motion for a minute 😆
@@2hotscottpro haha I love it.
Be nice to get one but can't find them in any stores or on-line.
I just checked and it says they have 20 available on line. I hope you can grab one.
@@tgltoday2717 just got one today 👍
I wish they made something like this, but with the inside set out for a technicians tool case. Small pockets for screwdrivers, spanner’s meters etc
I have the same work bench, check it out folks, it’s superb................
They know exactly what we all want. I don't get why they haven't added all the stuff you mentioned. They could even sell 2 different options of box, one with internal storage and one without.
I made a plate for the lid and while it could definitely be more professionally designed it's a good way to add some organizational abilities to the box.
@@ucitymetalhead you made a plate for the top of the lid to put some more boxes on?
@@tgltoday2717 made a metal plate for magnetically attaching stuff but you could put other things on it too.
@@ucitymetalhead mm'n
Where you get the divider?
I made the divider.
@@tgltoday2717 3d printer?
@@khiaraslaw nope just some plywood, (1/4" if I remember right) and orange spray paint that I thought matched pretty decent. I wish it was 3d printed. That would be really cool.
Dang lifetime warranty?
They can’t even answer warranty claims on the modular version
I've heard you can take it into home depot and exchange it but I've never had a ridgid bix fail yet to find out.
Wheels are too small and get hooked on everything, otherwise nice box
I couldn't agree more. I'm very puzzled as to why they put such small wheels on it as well. Defiantly way to small.
Wheels are way to small, pack out way better.
Agreed. I'm not sure why they didnt put a better set of wheels on this box.
I don’t get why they don’t include the divider
100% agree. All the boxes that have the slots, should come with dividers I think.
@@tgltoday2717 did you use a 1/4 thick plywood?
@@bludika I believe it was 3/8" plywood. I measured it just now and its 5/16" thick.
Cold box is in-stock
I saw that. I'm hoping it will be on sale sometime this year. I know its $10 off right now but that's the normal price when it was first released and we couldnt buy one so I'm boycotting the $10 off lol
@@tgltoday2717 I was in a HD that had a ton of inventory am guessing fathers day will be on sale if not sooner
@@khiaraslaw that would be awesome. My fingers are crossed.
Should've had bigger wheels. Less drag.
Agreed. Wheels are way to small and the way the handle stays out to wheel it is not good. Everything else works great IMO.
mines loaded with tools
That's a great thing to have in there for sure.
28 inch box it don't measure up
Maybe rigid measures things a little bit different?🤔
Rigid mobile toolbox supported by a Dewalt portable work table! 😂🤣😭
haha heck yea. I love the DeWalt table. I use it almost every day.
