Why it made the list: The system is well-designed and incredibly versatile. You can roll tools, batteries, fasteners, parts, totes with hand tools from your van, trailer, or truck onto the jobsite -- in one trip. The combinations and ways that tradesmen will use these is probably endless.

Without a doubt, the new product that got the most buzz and attention by attendees at this year’s New Product Symposium was the Packout Modular Storage System. The system allows boxes, organizers, and totes of multiple sizes and configurations to easily stack and lock together. There's a rolling box with handles, which is meant to serve as the foundation piece for this system. It has a telescoping handle, wheels, weather seal and IP65 rating, and a dedicated place inside the lid for mounting a Tick, and is rated for 250 pounds. There are two storage boxes of various sizes, a couple of organizer sizes, and then three sizes of totes as well. It’s easier to understand on a video how this system works. The units are all IP65 rated, so they will keep rain, dust, and other jobsite debris from getting inside. Each box locks tightly to the one below; view feet on the box's bottom and a spring loaded clip in the front just under the handle. You can roll tools, batteries, fasteners, parts, totes with hand-tools from your van, trailer, or truck onto the jobsite -- in one trip. To learn more, watch ToolBoxBuzz / A Concord Carpenter Rob Robillard explain the system in this video. Options and pricing can be found in the slideshow to the left.
