We checked live Amazon listings for five tool storage systems from Milwaukee, DeWalt, Craftsman, Keter and WORKPRO, comparing capacity, stackability and real customer ratings.

Buyer checklist
This is desk research, not a hands-on durability or load-capacity test. We pulled each candidate's real Amazon.com listing (using cached Wayback Machine snapshots to retrieve rating data and feature bullets alongside live listing checks), confirmed the ASIN resolves to a real, current listing, and read each manufacturer's own feature bullets and, where visible, the listing's star rating and ratings count. Our original draft included a Husky Mobile Tool Box and a Ridgid Pro Gear Cart, but both brands are primarily distributed through Home Depot's own retail channel, and every Amazon listing and manufacturer page we tried for either brand returned an automated block or access-denied error during this research pass — we could not independently verify current specs or pricing for either through any channel available to us this session. Rather than describe products we couldn't verify, we substituted Keter's Masterloader (a comparably positioned rolling tool box) and WORKPRO's 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Chest, both of which we fully verified, and disclosed both swaps here. Each of these five brands sells many sizes and configurations within the same product family (Milwaukee Packout alone spans small organizers through large rolling boxes; DeWalt ToughSystem 2.0 spans compact bags through extra-large boxes). We picked one representative size/configuration per brand and named the exact ASIN rather than blending specs across the full size range. We could not confirm a live star rating for the Craftsman listing we checked — the cached snapshot we retrieved didn't include a visible rating count, so we're not stating one for it. Load capacity, IP ratings and stacking compatibility are specific to each brand's own modular ecosystem — a Milwaukee Packout module will not stack with or connect to a DeWalt ToughSystem module, for example, so pick a system you plan to stay committed to as you expand it.
Generally no for stacking/locking compatibility — each brand's modular system (Milwaukee Packout, DeWalt ToughSystem, Craftsman Versastack, Keter's Stack system) uses its own proprietary latch and stacking mechanism that isn't designed to connect with a competing brand's boxes. You can physically use boxes from different brands side by side, but you won't get the interlocking, single-carry convenience across brands.
It's a standardized rating for dust and water intrusion resistance — the first digit covers dust protection (higher is better sealed) and the second covers water resistance (higher tolerates more direct water exposure). Per the listings in this guide, DeWalt's ToughSystem box is rated IP65 (fully dust-tight, protected against water jets) while Craftsman's Versastack is rated IP54 (protected against dust ingress and splashing water) — a meaningful real difference if you store tools outdoors or in an uncovered truck bed regularly.
It depends on your use case. A rolling drawer cabinet (like the WORKPRO in this guide) is generally better for a fixed garage/workshop location where you want everything visible and accessible in place. A modular stacking system (Milwaukee Packout, DeWalt ToughSystem, Craftsman Versastack, Keter's Stack line) is generally better if you regularly load individual boxes in and out of a vehicle for jobsite work, since you can grab just the modules you need for that day.
Both brands are primarily distributed through Home Depot's retail channel, and every Amazon listing and manufacturer page we tried for either brand returned an automated block or access-denied error during this research pass — we couldn't independently verify current specs through any channel available to us. Rather than describe unverified products, we substituted Keter and WORKPRO, which we could fully verify, and disclosed the swap here.
