Toughbuilt StackTech Modular Tool Boxes Make It Easy To Stay Organized On The Job
Over the years, we’ve reviewed a LOT of the best tool boxes on the market. However, in the last decade, we’ve seen modular storage systems gain major popularity across the construction industry for their convenience and versatility. One of them is the Toughbuilt StackTech Modular Tool Boxes and I’m digging into the details to help you decide if it’s the best option for you.
What They Say
The StackTech system has an intuitive, self-aligning nesting design that makes it easy to stack boxes quickly and hassle-free. Like other modular systems, its auto-locking interface is compatible with a wide range of storage boxes and bags so you can customize the system to fit your needs.
As the brand name suggests, these boxes are built to last. The armored steel corners are powder-coated to improve their durability, and they provide structural integrity in case of a drop.
The corner rails serve another purpose as well. Toughbuilt offers a wide range of quick-attach accessories that mount on the outside of the boxes. These include extension cord wraps, paper towel holders, cupholders, and much more. The all-metal attachment points are much more durable than their plastic counterparts, so you can rest assured that these boxes can put up with the toughest jobsite environments.
The large center latch and oversized carrying handles make it easy to transport and open, even while wearing work gloves. Plus, the single latch means you can access your tools faster than a dual-latch system. Moreover, these boxes feature dual-locking points so you can keep your tools secure on busy jobsites, and they’re IP65 rated against dust and water.
What We Say
Of all the boxes we’ve tested, the Toughbuilt StackTech system is easily one of my favorites. The nesting system is second-to-none and the single-point release lever makes it so easy to unstack these boxes.
The oversized handles and large center latch feel incredibly sturdy, and the IP65 rating and dual-locking points let me know that my tools will be safe anddry!
Since its initial launch, Toughbuilt has expanded the StackTech system, which now includes things like coolers, lights, a vacuum, carts, and even a first aid kit! This makes it one of the more extensive modular storage systems on the market, and certainly helps makes a case to earn its place on your work truck.
