How did you get the wheels wide enough for the bottom of the box rails?
@WordbikerАй бұрын
The wheels are the stock width. I maxed out the width of the drawer between the fender wells, so much so that I shaved the back corners of the drawer to make sure they didn't drag. The drawer guides are mounted high and above the fender wells since they add 1/2" per side and it gave me more clearance. For cabinets or furniture I would typically mount them at the bottom, but so far it has given me no issues to run them high. It actually makes it easier to remove the drawer when needed.

doesnt fastening the lid to the box alleviate the flex issues?
@Wordbiker10 ай бұрын
The internal frame did that more than anything. The lid is held in place from below with just a few screws which allows me to disassemble it for repairs if needed. If you could find some adhesive that will bond to the Packout plastic you could attach the lid permanently, but it would still have a lot more flex than the uncut box. I have yet to need to repair anything and it's been in use for a year.

@Wordbiker Жыл бұрын
I agree, but once they introduced their drawer systems, the game changed. I saw several videos of people dumping all their boxes in favor of the drawers that give much better access, even while still stacked. My use for them is definitely as a mobile work system that stays stacked, though I still appreciate the flexibility of being able to unstack them and fit them into pickup beds with tonnau covers, to lighten the weight down to single boxes for hand carry, or if one ever gets damaged it can be replaced easily. The only complaints I've heard about Milwaukee is not responding to market demands...such as offering a rolling cart with a drawer.

Hello Vaughn. I made this mod for my own use and also to see if it could be done. After going through the process, which took months, I can't imagine going through it again for any price that would seem reasonable. I didn't start the project with the intent to manufacture and sell them, but after getting so much positive feedback from the Packout communities I decided to make the video to share my process in the hopes that anyone else wishing to take it on would benefit from my success as well as my mistakes. I have since moved on to other mods and have a lot on my plate as a husband, Father, coach, instructor and content creator. I quite frankly don't have the time to spare.

Great idea so you dont have to unstack ,,, however, U-line has a smaller set-up.The bottom rolling box just flips open, the 2 middle boxes are drawers, the top box open from top . You can acess all tools. It blows the Milwaukee boxes away. They are just too bulky in my opinion. The U line boxes are justa bit light duty on the way they clip together, and the wheels and handle are light duty..
@Wordbiker Жыл бұрын
I wasn't aware that U-line had boxes too. The new Toughbuilt system looks good too and if you really wanted a rolling cart with a drawer I would just adapt the Toughbuilt to accept Packout on top. That would be much less work than what I went through, but I don't regret it. Packout suits my needs quite well and I'll be sticking with it. More mods to come.

A reciprocating saw and an inline jigsaw. The reciprocating saw (most people call it a "Sawzall" regardless of brand) is pretty common. The inline jigsaw is a bit more rare. Mine was made by Bosch, the Sabre Plus B4050. A more standard jigsaw could be used with an appropriate blade for plastic, but keep the speed low to prevent melting the plastic as it will cool and grab onto the blade. Other plastic trimming and shaping was done with a 3/8"x13" belt sander, a sanding block and with hand tools.

@@salient2849 Yes, I planned the cuts very carefully, marked them all out and got all of the internal stiffeners and components fitted before committing to the cuts. That's what kept the external shape of the box the same so the original latches still worked. I hadn't ever thought about doing a side drawer as my usage is all from the front of the box. From there I was able to get most of the usable volume from the drawer. From the side I'm sure you could apply a similar process, but the drawer would have to be configured in an "L" to clear the wheel and you'd lose a lot of the available space. There are things you could do with the "lost" space like embedding a battery power bank, etc, but that wouldn't work for my needs. If you do a side drawer, I'd love to see it.
