Awkward Space Storage Solutions?

I agree, the tstack boxes are much much more flimsy than toughboxes. Toughboxes you can stand on without a second though.
Proportions are different too - tstack are narrower, more Systainer shaped.
Like you, I prefer the latches of the 2nd gen toughboxes and best of all the packouts. They have a nicer feel but I don't think there is any issue with the strength of the Toughbox 1 latch. They are chunky and fairly stiff to use. I think that was why they were replaced, not weakness. My only real criticism is that Dewalt's bright zinc plate is vapour thin and evaporates the day after the guarantee runs out !

The weird thing is that Tstack is not really any cheaper than gen1 toughsystem, despite being a much worse product. No idea why they continue to make it. I suppose people are buying it

I have the packout and the clips are dreamy, as you say.
