Don't know why I never thought about this. I have stacking job boxes dedicated to different functions, compressor, wood working, power tools, etc but never thought about making individual organizers for specific jobs. Not a professional , just a professional home owner that has worked facilities, but this is great even for home maintenance. I've installed so many doors due to anxious dogs chewing, tons of light fixtures and ceiling fans, installed decks and fences, whatever. This will help me organize better in the future. I've only followed for a short time, but this channel has helped me so much.

Appreciate it 👍. It makes it nice for me that if I am going to install or work on a door, I just walk in the garage and grab a box. I don’t have to think, I don’t forget something, and I don’t have to carry multiple organizers. I have one for different electrical, door work, plumbing, drop ceilings, cabinet install, etc. You can’t do it for everything, but if you do it for your most common jobs, I think it’s helpful. Thanks again for the kind words and for watching 👍

Yeah, I find I like it mostly because I don’t forget something I will need. It doesn’t work for every job, but it works great for the ones it does. I don’t primarily work out of a truck with limited space. I get why it might not work for someone if that’s the case because space is a premium. You would have more organizers with doubled supplies. I typically know what I’m getting in to and am not far from my supplies. I just grab what I need and go, so it works for me. Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, I have had these cases for quite some time now. I really love how you can turn them upside down and shake them and things don’t mix. When they first came out that wasn’t the norm for most organizers but many brands do that now. Thanks for the compliment. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what works best, then just as you think you have it you see something better….I think perfect efficiency is unattainable but it’s fun trying to figure it out.

I'm looking to making job specific tool and supply kits for my service work. I am leaning towards the packout crate with a divider insert for my job specific tools and larger supply items and an organizer (if needed) for supplies clipped onto the top. One job for me that comes to mind is my PVC pipe kit, I've got to carry in hand tools, pipe cutter, PVC primer and glue, chamfer bits, fittings, etc. When you are gluing up 2" PVC, most of that stuff you can't fit in an organizer so I lean towards something bigger in the Packout lineup. Love the video. Thank you for your videos. They really help a bunch!

I never thought about organizers like this being job specific (although I have put some small "bins" together for "all things cabinet installation as an example.). An analogy would be having a tool belt with only pliers in it but it has all my pliers. Not very useful.....so ..... my toolbelt has a little of a lot of things to get any typical job done (screwdrivers, pliers, tape, hammer, fasteners, speedsquare, allen keys, punch, etc). Nice idea! I might just need to rethink a couple of my organizers. Thanks for the content.

Long time... My organising rule is compact-modular-compatible. So rather small, meticulously labelled, fully stackable boxes with very particular content. One box with drills, other with drill bits, yet another with bits, and the next one with screws etc. Everything is separated until I need to do specific job. Then I just assemble my set using tool boxes. So if I'm doing some plumbing I take five to six boxes and a roller cart plus a vacuum cleaner. It may seem a lot, but I always have what I need. The very basic plumbing box goes with me straight away and it usually does the job. If not I go down to truck to get the rest of the boxes. Festool/Tanos systainer are the best for this role. Their only downside is that they're not so sturdy as Milwaukee/Ryobi or DeWalt counterparts. I am not a fan of brand-oriented organising, because I'd have too many duplicated tools. We all know that although there's never "too many tools", there's always "too many identical tools". Good to see other's point of view on that topic. Especially in such easily digestible content. Keep up the good work.

I’m my area you don’t really have to have experience “per say” to do facilities maintenance. Job experience probably does help to get paid more. I have worked in Maintenance in factories, I have done residential maintenance, commercial maintenance, and I have been a project manager for a construction company. I basically started at the bottom and have worked my way to where I am by always wanting to learn and making myself indispensable to my employers. Hard work eventually pays off. I am offered jobs by most people I work around on a regular basis and never have to wonder if I will have work due to how I work. I say all that to say… a video from me might not be the best for requirements because there aren’t really any requirements in my area. Maybe a video some day about how to thrive in and my journey in facilities maintenance.
