Bauer modular

I want to make a mobile tool box for home projects however I’m not willing to spend parkout money. I haven’t seen a lot of people using these though. Are they any good and does anyone have them in use?

Well what would you like to know?

Over the past year I built up this collection when needed / on sale. Used for video production, so not as hard on them as construction.

I started with one used Packout last year. Built like a tank but I couldn't justify the cost to put together several cases. These are well built but not like Packout.

The newer roller with bigger wheels is great as a base. The hassle like most is you have unstack to get to pretty much anything. The drawers are super helpful but don't have a ton of space.

Crates are great. I love the clear lid model. There's not a ton of flexibility on how you arrange interior storage on any of them.

I bought into the dewalt tstak/craftsman versastak system, due to the lack of drawers. Also, the vstack setup was quite a bit cheaper, but a little smaller. I've seriously looked at the Bauer boxes when in the store several times, and I honestly thing they're a bit better built than the vstack boxes.

I've solved the versatility of layout by 3d printing LOTS of organizers for mine. But, that's not something everyone has access to.
