Milwaukee PACKOUT Organizers-Tray Modifications

Check out The Durbin Compound Merch Store now @

I will try to ship within 24 hours from receiving your order so that you get what you order FAST!
Thanks for the support everyone!
Modifying your trays in the Milwaukee PACKOUT is quite easy. In five short minutes, you can turn your little two area organizer trays into a four area tray. All I did was a quick little modification with the Dremel and BOOM we are done! The Milwaukee PACKOUT organizer is pretty darn awesome, but if you are like me, you sometimes need the extra few compartments for little items.
This modification can be done to the Milwaukee PACKOUT Slim Organizer or the regular deep organizer! I hope this helps someone out there!!!

Every single review talks about how they wish these trays had this functionality. It would be so easy for Milwaukee to fix this. They do a good job of listening to their customers so fingers crossed.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

That would be awesome!

[@leohiggins7737]

I like that you get to the point and not a lot of small talk. Very interesting and I am doing this in a few minutes Thank you for the tips

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Good luck! I used to blabber more but I have been working on it. Short videos designed to learn something or speak my opinion!

[@ABC_Dragon]

Your videos are always so helpful. Thanks so much for your help.

Not all heroes wear capes.

[@irishhandyman2009]

Thanks for sharing your mod. I will be doing that to mine as well. Love my Packout System and this just makes it even more versatile.

[@exceleratorjoshua]

That's exactly what I said in my video when I saw the 4 slots for the divider. This was back in November of last year. I love my packout organizers

[@TheDurbinCompound]

I know! I was disappointed in the design! I’m glad I found a great solution!

[@lowvoltagedude7837]

Simple and great idea!!! thanks 👍 it's something Milwaukee should have thought of for sure.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

That’s why the video is here!! It should have been mass produced

[@TheNoviceAquarist]

Good info. Thanks

How did I not think of this earlier, I've been thinking about how to do something like this since I bought it. Thanks!

[@hardtruth2039]

Really great idea. Gona do this on a few on my compartments. Thanks

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@rjjrrailsgscalesolenske5231]

Great idea

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Thanks for the comment!

[@mantislife7463]

I'm surprised Milwaukee didn't do this from factory. 2 little cuts and it's twice as versatile. Now if only they fixed their wheels and handle on the dolly box, i'd be set.

[@JWimpy]

Great tip. You should get the Milwaukee rotor tool in place of the Dremel. It's a super tool.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Oh goodness gonna make me spend money!! That has been on my list!

[@garvielloken3929]

GENIUS!!!

[@milescorp6237]

[@egemensuzgun4208]

such a good idea

[@petethehandyman9185]

I like it, I took one and cut it in half, wedged in there tight works well, but I like your method better

[@douglaughlin8595]

I like it, great job. Thanks for the info.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Thanks for the comment Doug! Appreciate you watching! Hope it helps you!

[@warped2875]

Milwaukee should have made the dividers with a friction fit to the bins to help keep them from pulling up when digging parts out with your fingers to prevent small pieces from migrating to other sections when the dividers inevitably lift up because they are so loose. I'm thinking that a small dab of hot glue, or silicone/RTV sealant, judiciously applied to the little bump in the center of the bin would help hold the dividers down, while also not being a permanent adhesive which could be removed later if so desired.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Absolutely! I like your idea! Judiciously of course, I will be using this term in the future!

[@Gluttonforpeace]

Hell yeah

[@Colaaah]

Great idea mate! So many people on youtube have come up with extra, great ideas that add more versatility to the Pack-Out system, like your simple yet effective idea here. There are people adding 3D printed additions to this/their system. I just bought my Pack-Out system about a week ago and every spare moment I get, I am still trying to get my tools in order, exactly how I want them set out. Another great thing with the K-Foam inserts, once you have made homes in the foam for your tools, If any foam section is empty after packing up at the end of the day, You know if you have grabbed everything or not :) Let's hope Milwaukee is paying attention to all of these system upgrades and start implementing these ideas as part of the next release of the Pack-Out system with the option of different upgrades ;) I know they implemented the K-Foam idea ;P Cheers!

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Yes! I’d love to see blown molded inserts for specific tools. A literal drop and go solution. Milwaukee listen up!

[@simcax6087]

Check out pimp_my_packout on istagram, it will blow your mind ;)

[@konamanstudio2447]

I was thinking the same thing I was not sure how to cut it I mentioned to Milwaukee Rep they should have done that in the beginning so I guess I'm not woke up my Dremel and do it

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Yeah it was really easy! I was excited with the result. It looks super slick now!

[@o04n7h0n90o]

Milwaukee pay attention

[@timnash6870]

TIM from Canada if you do not have a proxy you could probably just use crazy glue from the dollar store or hot glue. Another question one of you do not I want to drama..... and another question if you split those and a half will it not work the same way

[@terryluebbe2560]

Hope yout tested the seal offered by the lid before you added the epoxy. I question whether you need it. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Yeah the epoxy didn’t add any height to the project. Just a small drop to hold things in place!!

[@terryluebbe2560]

@@TheDurbinCompound I was just pointing out that the lid looks like it would hold dividers in without glue. However, since the resulting compartments are so small, and you may want to take the tray out, adding the epoxy is a nice touch.

[@TheDurbinCompound]

It will definitely hold them in place with the lid closed. I just like to keep it in place because you don’t have the lid down when you are rifling through the contents and that’s when you pull them out! It went well! I’m pleased

[@jamesbarnett4166]

@Jakeofall 3D prints the 4 way dividers

[@DumbCarGuy]

This way is better, its FREE, no shipping and only takes 3 minutes.

[@ex8280]

Did your box come with the dividers?

[@toolstech9630]

You don’t need a dremel! But my method is for the experience, use a drywall blade! Works the same! Thank you awesome vid. I don’t own a dremel!

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

I do own a Dremel, and any excuse to use it works for me. lol

[@GabiVegas-dj]

Big like 👍

There are two kinds of people: Those whom have said "dough-not," and those who will say "dough-not."

[@Sergei_Goidin]

Why don't they allow to divide large tray by 2 long sections?

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Don’t know! That could be useful!

[@durakis]

what is this not a thing yet? so much better to have that option available

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Yeah I hear you. I’m not sure why it isnt a thing. I definitely would have thought of it in the design phase. I like the smaller compartments because you always end up having a few items that need their own spot

[@20DDan]

where did you get the extra dividers? Im in Canada... I haven't seen these for sale separately.

[@kimmclaughlin141]

where can you get more of thees dividers i can not FIND THEM ANY WHERE
