There are an increasing number of pro-focused modular tool box and storage systems.
Here’s a quick summary of how things are looking so far at the start of 2026.
Bosch L-Boxx – The L-Boxx system has been stale for a while, aside for recent adoption by Tekton. A new L-Boxx Contractor system is launching this year in the USA, starting with a 3pc tool box combo.

Dewalt ToughSystem – Dewalt added large-format DXL components to the system a year and a half ago. The core system remains well-featured at a lower price point, but lacks a lot of the expansion options offered by competing systems.
Aside from the large DXL workstation components, Dewalt last expanded the ToughSystem modular tool box system around 3 years ago.

Dewalt Tstak – Dewalt has not expanded their compact tool box and organizer system in many years, but users can find some additional options in the Craftsman VersaStack line.

Flex Stack Pack – Flex last expanded its Stack Pack tool box line around a year and a half ago, with a rolling drawer tool box. It is unclear whether the tool storage line is still in development – it seems Flex barely paid any attention to the storage system since their last major expansion in 2023.
Klein Mod Box – Klein’s latest Mod Box expansion features a rework of their core tool boxes. We’ve seen additions to the line at a steady pace since its launch, including some components with unique functionality for electricians.
Further changes or additions might be forthcoming, pending the results of patent infringement legal complaints made against the company.
Hilti ProKit – Hilti launched their ProKit modular tool storage system just a few months ago. They could not provide any official details yet, but we expect for the first expansion to take place later this year.
ProKit hinged-lid tool boxes offer an improved user experience compared to most other designs.
Makita MakPac – There have not been many additions to this Systainer-compatible line of tool cases. New Makita power tool battery charging cases are launching later this year.
Makita MakTrak – Makita launched its MakTrak line of tool boxes and organizers last year, with its larger format focused on transportability and ease of access. With the system so new, it is fair to expect that expansion products are currently under development.
Milwaukee Packout – Milwaukee Packout is still the largest and most actively-expanding line of modular tool storage products, with multiple launches already announced for 2026.
I have bought into numerous tool storage systems over the years and have since moved to Milwaukee Packout for its organizers, drawer tool boxes, mobility options, accessories, and unique offerings.
In my opinion, Packout continues to be the best and most versatile modular tool and part storage system, and it looks like that won’t be changing anytime soon.
Ridgid Pro Gear 2.0 – Ridgid last expanded the Pro Gear 2.0 modular storage system around 2 years ago, adding more drawer tool box options to their Home Depot-exclusive lineup.
There are some unique aspects to Ridgid’s approach that offer improved versatility, but development seems to have come to a standstill.
ToughBuilt StackTech – ToughBuilt has not expanded their StackTech line of tool storage products in the USA in several years, but availability seems to be growing internationally.

At first glance the latching mechanism on the Tekton is quite different from Bosch. The former seems to be more unique with the laches are on the side only and the handles are at the bottom of the boxes. The later seems quite different.

Will anyone who finds/discovers any components of the HUSKY “Build-Out” system please notify the nearest University Archeological Department. It would be the “find” of the decade!

I was about to buy into Husky Build-Out and then all the components I wanted were out of stock. Most of them never seemed to come back into stock. Ended up going with Milwaukee. Originally I was thinking it was out of my price range, then the sales before Christmas hit and got a 4 part rolling stack. $150 off. Thought process was, who would still be around in 5 years +. So I went to Milwaukee.

Dunno if this helps, but up North here, Stanley Tools are releasing TSTAK compatible kits through Canadian Tire. So, there are entire drawer sets available for TSTAK, that are unavailable through any other source. Even contacting Stanley, they don’t claim these are TSTAK compatible.
But, there’s two Black-Chrome Socket Sets at Canadian Tire, 203 and 238 pieces respectively, that I have bought (on sale, but worth it.) and the main kit boxes they came in are 100% TSTAK. They even lock to my existing TSTAK boxes. So, if you’re in the North, you can actually also augment your TSTAK system with Stanley TSTAK boxes with tool kits in them. They just appear to be exclusive to Canadian Tire. I may look further into any other Stanley kits that are coming in TSTAK boxes from the Canadian stores as well. Seems Stanley doesn’t particularly like shipping these TSTAK boxes empty. (Not a complaint on my part. The kits I bought are really nice, and doubling the majority of the included tools, means easy access to both sides of a bolt or fastener.)
