Seems to be a few differences at quick glance such as bigger wheels, bigger medium box, and mount to wall with link option. Open bin on top may be a pro or con depending on need
edit: carrying handles on big and medium box look handy too
The whole idea behind buying Ryobi tools is that they cost a lot less than big name brands but you still great bang for the buck.
However Ryobi tool boxes cost just as much but they're not as good as the Ridgid boxes, IMO.
I would even consider the Lowes' options of Kobalt or Craftsman TradeStack over the Ryobi as far as quality goes.
Definitely do your homework first by watching some YT comparison videos and looking at them in person.
Milwaukee is great but it's a Lot more $.
btw- I own probably 20 different Ryobi tools, so I'm not hating on the brand.
The ridgid system is $150 as well; doesn't have the crate, but a small parts organizer instead.
However, it looks like the ridgid cart detaches… might be a cool feature for storage.
I started looking for a set last night to help organize for vendor fairs… will have to compare the two in store to see which would work best. Thanks, OP
The crates are $35 each and can stack. I'm thinking about mounting one on the floor of my bus and just stack them up.

Good call. Looks like capacity rating is 165 vs 200 for Ryobi as well.
Not sure differences are worth nearly double the cost for most home users though.
Most of my stuff is Ryobi but I think they overpriced this. I haven't seen this in person yet though so I don't know how well built it is.
I have the Ridgid 1.0 version and it's very heavy duty. Strong enough to stand on while working.
I'd really like to have a Ryobi set too, but I'll wait until the price comes down closer to Hart prices, especially since this has a crate instead of an organizer up top.
I also have the Rigid 1.0…do you know if the 2.0 pieces fit the 1.0? I believe Rigid is coming out with the drawer module that I'd love to have…I don't want to buy it all again

Agree. I think RYOBI's been great but everything with their LINK system (especially the wall panels) are way off the mark on price.

The Ryobi Link stuff is made in America, so that's why it is priced higher than normal when it comes to Ryobi stuff.
So, yes, you can get the Hart stuff cheaper as that's made in China, and even the Ridgid stuff for the same price which is also made in China.
I'm not sure how much being made in America means to everyone, but with the cost of labor in America, you're going to see higher prices.
Also, tons of info on the Link stuff over at the Ryobi Rebels Facebook page.
I'm all for buying American …. odd that this item is made in America when the rest of the Ryobi line is made in Asia ? Do you have a link that verifies country of origin ?

It's on Home Depot's site on pretty much any of the Ryobi Link product details. For example:
Proudly made in the USA with global materials
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Includes: STM101 LINK (1) Standard Tool Box, (1) Single Organizer Bin and (1) Double Organizer Bin
All of their Link stuff is made in the USA, as well as most of their push mowers, and all of their gas pressure washers as it's more effective to assemble them here after the engines from Honda are shipped over.

So assembled in America with global materials …. ok.
That sorta qualifies ….for sorta of …. A Warm & Fuzzy.
They have a 2-drawer box for $40, too. I've got to have drawers for my most used stuff, to avoid unstacking and restacking needlessly. The lack of drawers has kept me away from some of these system. Last time I was in HD I saw a new 2-drawer box from either Milwaukee or Dewalt and thought it was nice.
The T-stack system from Dewalt has a couple different drawer options. No idea if they still make T-Stack, and it doesn't work with their other boxes, but Amazon has some still. I don't normally need to haul a ton of tools around though, so keeping everything in the garage in a rolling cabinet and just throwing whatever I need to take with me into an open-top caddy works alright usually. But I might get the itch and splurge on one of these systems soon.
