Category-specific inspection guidance: Inventory the tools you will store, then record the longest dimensions and the combined working weight, including trays and future additions. Check both the overall system rating and any per-box, drawer, lid, or connected-stack limit rather than assuming one number covers every configuration. Manufacturer data can be quite specific: Festool lists separate internal dimensions, load capacity, connected load capacity, and lid load for one Systainer model, while Milwaukee gives its rolling box a 250 lb capacity. Leave useful headroom instead of designing around the published maximum.
