Our verdict

A rugged, stackable plastic tool case for carrying power tools and accessories as part of a VERSASTACK setup. It has one open compartment, so small parts need their own containers.

Overview

On the jobsite or in a garage, the CRAFTSMAN VERSASTACK suitcase holds corded or cordless power tools along with their accessories in one open compartment. Side latches connect it to other VERSASTACK units, and a bi-material top handle carries it.

Connecting into the VERSASTACK system lets you build a portable stack, and the water sealed shell protects tools in transit. A single open compartment means no built-in organization for bits, screws or small accessories.

Who it's for

Contractors and DIYers who move power tools between truck, garage and jobsite get a sealed case that clips into a larger stack. People sorting screws and bits need an organizer with compartments instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stacks and latches with VERSASTACK units
  • Water sealed shell for transport
  • Comfortable bi-material top handle
  • Light empty weight
Cons
  • Single compartment, no dividers
  • Stacking needs other VERSASTACK pieces
  • Warranty terms not listed

Performance notes

Protection comes from the sealed lid and plastic shell, which shield tools from rain and dust during transport. Stability in a stack depends on the side latches engaging the units above and below. Loading near the maximum makes carrying by the single top handle harder.
