Detailed review and rating of the Milwaukee PACKOUT Backpack, including pros, recommended improvements, and comparisons to several other bags I have used - such as Milwaukee's Ultimate Jobsite Backpack. Rating provided on PACKOUT Backpack features, quality, and pricing.
Also included is my design and build of a new PACKOUT Add-on Creation (PAC #6). This PAC has a combo purpose and can be used to attach the Ultimate Jobsite Backpack to a stack or as a low-profile compact tool and accessory tray.

Nice review Jake....Keep up the great work. Most organized tools I've ever seen!!

[@JakeWeihe]

Thanks!

[@dacrow7543]

excellent video, just what ive been looking for.

[@verdiktagood3896]

Hi, it's nice and interesting to watch your videos about Milwaukee instruments. Your ideas for improving the backpack are very good and necessary. I would like to see even more tools from Milwaukee. Thanks for the work)

[@JakeWeihe]

Thanks for watching!

[@inspiringbuilds]

Nice review and good tips along the way, keep up the great work!

[@JakeWeihe]

Thanks for the support! Nice project yesterday!

[@smalldoggymike]

Best video I have seen on this backpack, very informative, gave me some ideas too. Looking forward to adding this to my Milwaukee sets. Thanks a lot 👍 (Aluminium window installer & maintenance)

[@JakeWeihe]

Thanks Mike! Hope you’re happy with your purchase!

[@Buynscrachoffuntilwinthelotery]

I work in the same field, can you fit atleast 75% of your tools in the bag ?

[@armysapper12b]

As a property maintenance tech I have to have a little of everything and the pack out let’s me carry the pack out organizers. Best backpack I’ve owned yet.

[@JakeWeihe]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching

[@MrTkeddo]

Best backpack toolbag I’ve used 👍

[@matthewstringer4424]

Great video buddy!

[@JakeWeihe]

Thanks!

[@everydayadventures361]

Your tools are so clean almost like you don’t use them, ha ha. I just bought one of these wish it had another compartment, had a hard time fitting the tools from my 20” husky tool tote in it. Looking forward to see if it works out better

[@jordyvillegas2126]

Best review thank you

[@djwambach6192]

I like the way you put the feet on the tray.

Currently carrying the ultimate job site pack, looking to convert to pack out backpack to fit my stack. Thanks for the review! Plumbing 🪠

[@fortunatedad7695]

Just bought the pack out backpack today and I really like how it attaches to a those cases. That feature right there is what sold me. This packout line pricey but it's so well thought out IMO. Good review! Thanks

[@JakeWeihe]

Nice to hear! I’ve found another awesome use for it is with the Packout vacuum on the bottom. Then you have a DIY backpack vacuum!

[@fortunatedad7695]

@@JakeWeihe that's a solid idea. A guy sure could put alot of money into Milwaukee tools lol

[@teewithey5879]

Could you fit a circular saw in there?

[@fortunatedad7695]

@@teewithey5879 no, the back packs are more for hand tools. You could manage a couple M12 power tools and that's about it.

[@deadstar962]

I have this backpack and have been using it for about a month now. It’s great I recommend for anyone looking to buy it. The only thing is that you have to pack it lightly or else the bag becomes immensely heavy

[@JakeWeihe]

Thanks for the comment! I agree with you! I like to pack light but my dads gets bag pretty heavy pretty fast.

[@billywhelan2987]

[@MyMKIV]

I have this bag and use it daily, found the clip for a tape measure breaks over time, my work buddy's found the same thing. It's also heavy without tools in it if walking allot compared to other bags, overall a good bag though

[@tyrelgranger8105]

Just got this bag for quick service, Only plan on storing a small amount of hand tools some electrical stuff, my tablet and camera and drone

[@JakeWeihe]

Nice! I think I would prefer the Milwaukee job site bag if I was using it for a tech bag. There might also be another slimmer bag with a laptop pouch. The Milwaukee Packout tech bag might be a good option too.

[@tyrelgranger8105]

@@JakeWeihe i wanted the packout part, incase i need to bring in some of my slim boxes. And something that went over both sholders

[@Bundysvideos]

I don’t think those two loops on the sternum strap are made for storage. Many of my hiking packs have a similar design, and it’s to give the strap some stretch and still have it very durable and not over stretch the elastic.

[@JDAfrica]

Ive been considering the Technicians Packout bag - more pockets, a protected hard shell pocket, a laptop area internally.

[@JakeWeihe]

I think that’s a great alternative. I like how it has a laptop pouch

[@kellygac1917]

nice!

[@JasonNortwich]

Good video. Do you collect tools? Nothing seems to have usage wear/tear on them.

[@M3a9m]

Could you plz upload another comparison video between milwaukee packout & Toughbuilt 18" trolley tool bag ? Thanks

[@JakeWeihe]

I’d love to. If I had one. Maybe in the future I’ll pick one up. Make sure to be subscribed! Thanks

[@truckerenoch8824]

When I was doing low voltage work, we were setting up a wireless network and security cameras for an electrical supply retailer, I saw a Klein Tools "tech pack" that I wanted. I ask the price and none of them seemed to want to tell me, so they got the salesmen for me and he said, "It's $419 dollars for the electricians bag and $499 for the technicians bag with the carbon fiber laptop pouch". I almost laughed out loud in front of him.😂 They're down to just over $100 now. Lol

[@JakeWeihe]

Woah! How long ago was that!?

[@truckerenoch8824]

@@JakeWeihe 2017. I think he was trying to scam me because we all pulled in there in brand new vehicles and expensive tools. I checked them online after he said that and I found the tech bag for $229. Now they're just over $100. Must not have been selling many. Lol

[@omegaanimations8549]

I have this bag and after 1 year of hard use the tape measure clip is falling off. I’m going to have to warranty the backpack or river a new clip myself but overall love the bag everything is very durable

[@JakeWeihe]

I could see how the clip is failing after heavy use. Personally I would just Rivet it back on cause I wouldn’t want to deal with sending/receiving a new bag

[@roysoto9824]

Nice love it have all tools needed for a job and well organized and everything in one place and easy to get to would love to own one

[@chotuusian4127]

Nice

[@CarlosRodriguez-ox5ir]

Wish they had 2 big bags

[@truthful3777]

What is the model of the previous model that can fit a 15.6 inch laptop?

[@JakeWeihe]

I think I was talking about the “Milwaukee Jobsite Backpack.” There is also the “Milwaukee Low Profile Backpack.” That one can carry a laptop but less tools. Cheers!

[@carloslopez3203]

can the packout backpack fit a 13inch laptop in the front electronic pocket?

[@JakeWeihe]

I think it would be a tight fit. But doable.

[@ccweihe]

Sometimes even hand me downs aren’t that bad!

[@dd15scalerc70]

In my hot and humid country, water bottle is important. The back pack should be able to carry 1.5litre water bottle....

[@JakeWeihe]

I agree. Stay hydrated out there. 🤟🏻

Where did you get the packout feet from??

[@JakeWeihe]

I 3D Printed them!

[@dOONCHee]

[@JakeWeihe]

Do you have any other Packout?

[@Xpert817]

Can you fit a grinder ?

[@JakeWeihe]

Depends what else you put it in. And how big the grinder is

[@jw4757]

As a tech I was disappointed for your snack comment. I do however appreciate your review on the functions of the pack.

[@terry3906]

Using the low-profile organizer as a template holder for mounting the feet is so simple that it is absolutely genius. Made my current DIY idea a lot less nerve-wracking. Do you sell any of your PACs or do 3d printing for hire? I'd like to come up with some dividers for my Packout Compact Toolbox.

[@anthonytorres4375]

Make a video about the vacuum for those of us who don’t have IG…Lol

[@JakeWeihe]

You got it. Stay tuned! 👍🏻

[@KpopLabPro]

Does it mean there is no space for 15" laptop in the packout backpack?

[@JakeWeihe]

If it’s not fully loaded there’s some room. I usually put my laptop in a sleeve to protect it from the tools.

[@KpopLabPro]

@@JakeWeihe thanks for the answer, so I assume there is no dedicated pocket for it in the red backpack but there is one in the red-black one?

[@JakeWeihe]

@KpopLabPro yeah only in the older job site backpack I think. Or the low profile backpack

[@KpopLabPro]

@@JakeWeihe Thanks brother much appreciated, I'm going to purchase packout one because I can attach crimping trays to it

[@392Boost]

Does Milwaukee not make a hammer? That is the only tool you have that wasn't made by Milwaukee, besides the POS level. You should rub your tools in the dirt or something, everything is so shiny, new, and never been used. Great review though. Milwaukee makes great stuff.

[@JakeWeihe]

Lol I actually don’t really like the feel of the Milwaukee hammers. And I like my variety of tools from different brands(MasterForce, husky, Kobalt). Thanks for worrying about the cleanliness of my tools lol, but I won’t be rubbing dirt on my tools anytime soon.

[@bryanslaughter7885]

I can't believe there's no laptop pouch! I feel like that's an essential. Nice review though

[@noelv1976]

There is a pouch, but may not be long enough for a 15 inch. Also, laptops or tablets have gotten smaller but still just as powerful, so maybe they felt a 15 in pouch may be too big. But I think they built this for construction workers, not necessarily for contractors. But I get what you’re saying.

[@loganellis7171]

If you use these bags for what they are built for there is no need for a laptop pouch. It would be simply a liability to keep precious items inside on the job.

[@BuRGeRFromBrooklyn]

That bag looks like it’s never been used just like the tools

They all below useless to me. I need one with a flap (and straps) to cover the zippers. I work remote, often outside by all weather, at least to get to the sight, and just in case the zipper lets go, as usual at the worst possible time.

[@cynic256]

why would anyone need a laptop slot in a toolbag backpack
