The deep TSTAK box. A tall single-latch case with a lift-out tote tray that stacks with the rest of the TSTAK line — great for a full hand-tool loadout.
The shallow, flat-top TSTAK case: one open compartment, metal side latches, and a top that takes another TSTAK unit. At $19.97 it's the cheapest way into the TSTAK system and one of the best-selling boxes on Amazon.
