Picked up mine a week ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I am already heavily invested in Flex products at the moment and haven’t had any issues. I think people look at Flex and automatically think because it’s not Milwaukee, Dewalt or Makita it’s crap or cheap. But time and time again they have proven that they are just as good if not better when it comes to their products. Time will tell how each company’s products do but the worst thing to happen in the industry is for their to be a monopoly or stagnation in the market. Challenge breeds innovation
Andrew you really hit the nail on the head with this comment! I own all tool brands and have really been impressed with Flex. People are so closed off when it comes to new products in most cases.
@@Tre16 Late in the game? Milwaukee didn’t originate modular storage systems. There is always gunna be company’s releasing new item under their line. Don’t forget that Flex has a been a company for almost 100 years, two years earlier than Milwaukee and Dewalt. They introduced the angle grinder to the market. So would we say that any other company that introduced an angle grinder after Flex is late to the game? No. Now I will say everyone is entitled to their opinion and is free to spend their money the way they want to. I think it just helps to do some research before throwing the baby out with the bath water
@@ferndogg84 You mentioned you are heavily invested in Flex. Did you change over from another brand? How is the difference between the 2 if so? I've seen a lot of good comments on the Flex line, since they came out. I'm heavily invested in Milwaukee M12 and M18 with some Makita 18v sprinkled in. As for corded tools, I use Dewalt, Wen, Kobalt, Ridgid, and Porter Cable. I'm a hobbyist, so I look for the best bang for my buck, and always looking at the new innovative stuff coming out.
@@jasonmartin7137 I was on Dewalts platform before moving to Flex. I found when I moved to Flex the tools felt more solid and didn’t feel like toys in my hand well using them. I have used the heck out of my Flex tools. I find they are on the same level as Milwaukee fuel line when it comes to performance with some tools from either company going back and forth. Currently I have their Impact driver, hammer drill, rotary hammer, multi-tool, grinder, inline circular saw, Stack Pack, vacuum as well as their fan. I work as a Glazer and do ACM panel installation as a reference point. My recommendation on whether someone should switch depends on how invested someone is in another battery platform. My boss was on Dewalt and he was needing to get new batteries because his either cracked or were not holding charge. So he decided to try Flex and started with the impact because they had a battery promotion at the time and he was seeing my impact just set fasteners with ease. Suffice to say he has their grinder and saw now. Once his Jigsaw and Rotary hammer go he will grab those. The problem I see is everyone is saying that Flex is trash just because they are not a company that has had a cordless platform for 15-20 years (which they have a 18v platform). I personally think they are a great company with a killer warranty, strong/sturdy tools and battery technology that is going to push companies to do better when it comes to innovating. Give them some time and they will have all the missing tools they don’t have currently. They could release every tool that’s out on the market but they want to release products that are thought out ie anti-vibe on Sawzall, anti-shock on impact wrench and Turbo on Drills.
This depends on what your requirements are. If you want more options, the Packout wins. If you want it to survive multiple sledge hammers dropped on it, then Flex wins.
Been using flex for past 6 months and they are amazing. I had one issue with hammer drill out the box and they bent over backwards and next day shipped me a new one and let me keep old one. It was stuck in hammer mode.
I have drills from all the big brands and really love my Flex set! Flex makes great products, and I'm excited to see them evolve into one of the leading brands.
I just received the Milwaukee pack out .. all 4 parts they lock together so far its working great , still adjusting ,rearranging them to see what works best .
I never heard of flex til I bought a hepa dust extractor that was on clearance from acme tools (I think) That machine is a beast . I have a dolly with different plastic shipping crates I use but am always waiting to be convinced of any of these systems . I ask everyone I see with them on sites and there’s always some misgiving for these modular tool systems , - much like almost any equipment all of us use in the field I suppose .
Not just a red fanboy here: dewalt tried with there tuff stack and it was a bad copy. I wonder if this has the same problem? Milwaukee has the slide and lock system that is the best in the industry in my opinion.
So far I have been satisfied with the Flex system. It is on par with Milwaukee. I still have to test some of the attachments for the stack pack. Hopefully I can soon!
@@the_general_contractor just raped a Lowe's in Charlotte NC for 3 flex triple stacks along with 3 attachments for each one but they are the ones I caught slipping and capitalized. If a set was zip tied together it was $299....however they messed up and put each piece on clearance so I bought each individual box at this breakdown that satisfies my soul. Bottom Lg base with wheels $22.98 🤯🤯🤯 Middle box medium $49.98 Top box small $39.98 Level holder < $5 Ext cord attachment
I love Flex and I have the STACKPACK but I will say that the PackOut is top tier in tool storage…I think in time we will see the STACKPACK become a top tier as well
I freelance in television so I'm curious if can hold up with production gear. 🤔 I like the fact the flex comes in black. You have to pay an arm and a leg plus shipping to get the pack out in black, because it comes from overseas in Europe. Really Milwaukee makes the product in the States but only sells red hair and black in Europe? I have a lot of miscellaneous television gear used on location
“Break it down “ like how exactly you’re going to break it down ? Toss it on the air and see if it’s durable ? You made it sound like it’s going to some sort of war . Tool boxes ( any brand ) just sits at the job site so expect them to last quite long..
It was a hard debate with flex & kobalt tbh I ended up going with kobalt not because of price but idk the levers & box sizes was a no for me with the flex but I love the wheels on the flex no doubt maybe I’ll end up picking up my next box as a flex idk 🙌🏼🔥
I think the latching system from box to box is much better on the Milwaukee on the flex You have to lift up a little tab which could get broken pretty easy
My honest opinion as a contractor and plumber: Milwaukee packout wins. 1- I can build the entire rear of a van with packout and because of the latching button being in front I can easily remove a container that is stacked right next to another container. Flex requires room to fit your hands to pull a tab. You loose half the space because you forfeit an entire stack of storage in a van. This is just an example. 2- Milwaukee offers 6x as many items for the unit and their tools are also proven reliable and rugged on commercial job sites.
Seems like no real innovation. It's very heavy and bulky. The Stanley made a 3 piece rolling toolbox where; the bottom flips open, drawers middle, top tool box. You can access all your tools. Only problem was it was a bit light duty , and a bit small. Had it been more durable and slightly larger was the best for going in and out of jobs and trucks. They also need to be easy to unstack and carry up stairs. These are like your staying permanent on a job. Home remodeling you in and out ...
Their drawers are comimg.vwry very soon shit I remember when packout started and their selection was limited 4 a while 2. But now with competition In the market I guarantee prices will go down and Milwaukee won't be charging a kings ransom 4 a fucking bag I mean 300 for a tote come.on 😮
Flex wins because of the latching system is way better than the Milwaukee the Milwaukee sticks a lot of times you can't separate boxes and in one depot I went to we couldn't separate 5 boxes we couldn't and that's in a store imagine you have that one a jobsite and you get dirt and pebbles in there you'll never get them apart
Both of them are horrible ....buy some 20 dollars totes . That all these are on wheels . You end up throwing everything in it and spend more time finding tools
I have the Milwaukee pAckout set I luve it, but man the Flex is way more legit. All the accessories you can get right at the store is unmatched, sorry Milwaukee Flea has me sold on the boxes. I’m trading up for the Rolls Royce of toolboxes instead of the Cadillac . I’ll still ya e it packed with Milwaukee tools though you can bet on that 💪🏼
Nothing Flex does is just "thrown together" I don't think you'll see and issue. They have worked on developing the inline circular saw for 10 years......that says about all right there.
@@beerbeforebreakfast I don’t think there’s gonna be a issue of them holding up the problem is it’s limited. In my work van I have my boxes stacked side-by-side tight with the Milwaukee you can retrieve the box with one hand the unlock latch one finger in the front center, the flex requires two hands the latches are on the side so the boxes can’t be stacked too closely to each other which also excludes the possibility of wall mounts only two contact points compared to the 12 on the Milwaukee and you need both hands to unlock and retrieve the box which would be tough to do mounted on the wall then there’s the issue of space again and accessing the latches. other than that I’m sure they’re extremely well-built.
@@steffendetrick you have a view point of use that I don't. And it's apparent you see the details that will cause issues even before they are on site. That is skill. I mostly use packouts on wall mount and yes 2 hands are definitely required. Otherwise your wrists will officially be snapped! 🤣 I am thinking the Flex line might have an advantage in some situations and some lacks in other situations. Most people probably already invested in Packout and not willing/able to switch. So really not a big ordeal either way.
No mentions how much heavier the flex is.. keep in mind guys we load our boxes up with hand tools and power tools we certainly dont need more added weight on the box itself
I honestly have not noticed the weight difference. I do agree with you that we don't need to be lifting more weight but honestly all these boxes loaded are fairly heavy to begin with
@@the_general_contractor i ran into a set of flex stack at lowes last week and as soon as i moved it i felt the obvious weight difference im used to with dewalt tough system .. and more of a difference with ridgid.. im sure its well made and works jusy as good as any..
oh please flex just basically copied packout and all the add ons the packout community have develope and been using. if you really want to be competitive develope your own system from scratch, flex has no shame even copying the aluminum corners from the packout. it's not a bad storage system but it's the packout in a different color and the add ons that they copied from milwakee users .
They have subtle differences even if made by the same company. Also, don't be ignorant. If you want to bash people go find another channel. You bring zero value to these comments.
@@the_general_contractor Yea, General contractors are handymen in all trades, masters of none. “I have tools from all brands” quote offers zero value… Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee all put out a particular tool that beats the others.

B grade at best.

Sounds like George Costanza describing a bra,”Got the cool handle, 2 wheels in the back “
😂 😂😂
How do they do it…?
I've never used anything like this but it must be great -both look great )
But no one talks about the most important, what’s the damn price

Flex is King especially with the new released items such as the drawer sytem
just got the standard 3 piece from Lowe’s im already ordering another 3 boxes for the van!
@@trxll.treyyy5797 if you can hold out I suspect sales on them shortly after the holidays.. especially at Lowes
Only thing I don't like about the FLEX is the handle is to short. Only if it came up a little taller
Packout is so much more customizable.
I would love to buy a flex box but the price is the same as the Milwaukee. I could spend the same with rigid or kline and get more box.
What about the DEWALT THOUGH SYSTEM 2.0 TOOL BOX SET?
Now do toughbuilt stack tech
I’m a Milwaukee guy, but I always hate their red color, I’ve been eying on flex for quite a while
Decisions decisions 😱😱

Doesn't the Kobalt wheels not clear stairs, steps??
DeWalt
I would of bought the flex system if the had drawers don't like having to unstack the whole thing
They do now. Just bought a 3 drawer yesterday at Lowe's
Rigid is better I own milwaukee tools but the rigid box price point mixed with quality is solid
Made in the same factory
It’s a box, a box on a set of hand trucks. Why are people spending so much money on these.
I think the latching system from box to box is much better on the Milwaukee on the flex You have to lift up a little tab which could get broken pretty easy
I have had no issues with the tabs. Both boxes have their negatives & positives!
Looks like same manufacturer
Flex doesn't have drawers available
Not yet! Flex has a lot of catching up to do with the Packout when it comes to accessories.
They coming out with Drawers soon they have them on the Website
Wish Milwaukee had a black option….nothing says steal me like Milwaukee Red
They do have black one
The pack out has my vote just due to the fact that the flex is at Lowe’s and they have some ridiculous prices on everything
And Milwaukee isn't overpriced on everything they sell😂😂
Klein is also attempting to compete
I have a three piece set.stronger locking,can cable lock the whole set and you can stand on them.waiting for the three drawer mod box dropping soon
For non Milwaukee,klein and toughbuilt are legit(own klein)
FIEX хорош, но 🔥MILWAUKEE🔥лучший
