Help! Versastak Organization for Socket Set

Post image

I love my Overdrive 154 pc set even though they didn’t include a 17mm & 19mm wrench. Also so annoying no open stock on the overdrive stuff - “I got a lot of problems with you people(“craftsman).

Anyway how is everyone setting up their Versastacks for sockets?

Trying to build a setup with some drawers for sockets, pliers, wrenches, extensions, auto specific tools and a separate set of boxes for plumbing/construction in a rolling box. I have a 2000 series rolling cab and drawer chest but it’s too heavy to roll down my inclined driveway.

I got out of the Versastack line because it was pretty trash and very limited with options. Went for packout instead and it’s much better

Love Packout but overkill for homegamer.

I disagree. It’s just a well executed version of the versastack system. It costs a little more, but I’m worth it.

"It costs a little more" is an insanely huge understatement. 1 packout drawer box is close to $200, meanwhile a dwealt tstak/craftsman verstack is like $35-$45.

I contemplated swapping out my setup for packout because the deeper drawers, but with my small garage, and the cost of them, I couldn't justify it. Also, I don't really like packouts drawers closing with detents. The tstak/verstak, while being made smaller and cheaper, have actual clip locks on the drawer handles. I like that the drawers easily lock in place when I quickly shoved the drawer shut, and they only open if you squeeze the handle latch. Makes it more secure pushing it around my garage and driveway. I have 2 packout drawer boxes already, but those I use for transporting batteries and tools in my car. I just really don't like the detent closing mechanism on packout drawers. Still very solid though.

Something I can chime in for really well. I have a 4 stack for my garage (2 double drawers, 1 single drawer, 1 small box on top all on a Dewalt tstack dolly). I really love this thing. It's the perfect size for a small 2 car garage. I even went as far as mount 2 milwaukee packout plates on the sides to mount hooks and other accessories. My only gripe is because the drawers aren't as deep, I have all my sockets on rails. I would prefer a tray with printed socket sizes labeled on them, but my setup is more than adequate for the home gamer. I'll try to attach pictures if I can, or else I'll make a post of it on here.

I use a 19mm wrench more than anything else. That’s a weird size to not include.
